Water for Energy and Fuel Production

<p>This text describes water's use in the production of raw fuels as an energy carrier (e.g. hot water and steam) and as a reactant reaction medium and catalyst for the conversion of raw fuels to synthetic fuels. It explains how supercritical water is used to convert fossil- and bio-based feedstock to synthetic fuels in the presence and absence of a catalyst. It also explores water as a direct source of energy and fuel such as hydrogen from water dissociation methane from water-based clathrate molecules and more.</p>
