SYNTHETIC FUEL
NEW CHEMICAL TRICK
(Received September 8, 9 a.m.)
MILWAUKEE, Sept. 7,
A new process for juggling carbon and hydrogen molecules in natural oil gases, which will increase the known resources of crude oil in the United States by 150 per cent, to 45,000 million barrels, and reduce consumption by 625 millions barrels a year, has been reported to the American Chemical Society. A very large quantity of hydrogen will be obtained as a byproduct.
Dr. Gustav Egloff, in announcing this discovery, stated that it would give the United States an added advantage in the event of war and would also provide a better quality of petrol, which would increase engine efficiency.
