NASA tests newly developed green fuel for use on the space station

摘要

In a recent collaboration, NASA has tested a new technology which turns waste into 'green' fuel for possible use on the International Space Station (ISS) and in long-term space missions. Developed by researchers at the University of Saskatchewan, Sonil Nanda, USask Chemical and Biological Engineering Research Associate, and his supervisor Ajay Dalai, has developed a high-quality syngas, a fuel gas mixture containing crop and forestry residues, food waste, cattle manure, petroleum, and petrochemical waste.
