During the process, a gliding arc of electricity creates a plasma inside the reactor. The plasma then creates a cauldron where low temperature chemical reactions can occur that change waste materials such as used cooking oil or agricultural biomass into clean fuels.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/gas2.org\/2010\/03\/26\/low-tech-diy-plasma-gasifier-makes-fuel-from-waste\/#more-6343\" class=\"more-link\">(more&#8230;)<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/gas2\/org?a=YB__a4nCN7M:hw2LQNs8Thc:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/gas2\/org?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/gas2\/org?a=YB__a4nCN7M:hw2LQNs8Thc:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/gas2\/org?i=YB__a4nCN7M:hw2LQNs8Thc:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/gas2\/org?a=YB__a4nCN7M:hw2LQNs8Thc:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/gas2\/org?i=YB__a4nCN7M:hw2LQNs8Thc:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/gas2\/org?a=YB__a4nCN7M:hw2LQNs8Thc:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/gas2\/org?i=YB__a4nCN7M:hw2LQNs8Thc:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/gas2\/org?a=YB__a4nCN7M:hw2LQNs8Thc:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/gas2\/org?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/gas2\/org\/~4\/YB__a4nCN7M\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some interesting tidbits are coming out of the American Chemical Society conference in San Francisco this week.
