A University of Minnesota research team has just invented a reactive flash volatilization process that heats oil and sugar at a very fast rate which produces hydrogen and carbon monoxide or what is commonly known as Syngas. Syngas is a chemical that is used for making chemicals and fuels, gasoline included.

According to team leader Lanny Schmidt, the process is cheap and will use materials of small economic value such as residue biomass. It can utilize soy oil, which can be used for hydrogen production by skipping the biodiesel oil process. Learn more about this development and the process here.
