Sapphire Energy recently announced the production of a 91 octane gasoline which could be used in current gasoline engines. The crude oil is produced directly from sunlight, Carbon Dioxide and microorganisms.

Sapphire has stated that their technology is not biodiesel or ethanol and that no farm is required to produce the biofuel. The technology and process of Sapphire offers a vast advantage over traditional approaches such as biodiesel and ethanol. One of the issues of renewable sources of energy is scalability.

Sapphire has said that their technology is easily scalable because their production is modular, transportable and fueled by sunlight and that it is not constrained by land, crops or other natural resources. Furthermore it is carbon-neutral since it simply converts carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into a reusable form.

This is a remarkable announcment since it is an almost true renewable resource.
