They just discribed Methanol.
5% can be added to gasoline, can be made from wood chips, "two-step thermal processing", byproduct is activated carbon, $50/bbl....
Methanol can be sold for a profit as low as $1/gal when made from natural gas.
The only thing proprietary about it is they wont tell you what the fuel its self is.
Sounds like they are trying to pass off 50+ year old technology as new to scam the govenment. I see this more often than you would think, people trying to pass something old off as "new green technology".
One of our greatest allies, Isreal is about to start testing the addition of methanol to fuel on their countries gas only fleet, a mix of modern vehicles from everywhere and everyone waiting to see what happens there before making any moves elsewhere.
I know Brazil has been using methanol for years but there vehicles are designed for methanol/gasoline mixtures.
