'We're working with anything such as agricultural waste like manure, municipal waste like sewage, plant matter, cellulosic matter and even carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere,' said Wernick in a video discussing the research.

韦尼克在某个视频中讨论了这项研究:"我们正在不断地实验.肥料之类的农业废弃物,污水等城市垃圾,还有植物、纤维素,甚至是空气中的二氧化碳,我们都不放过."

Wernick explained that the world is dominated by gasoline, diesel and jet fuel as the main transportation fuels.

韦尼克解释说,汽油、柴油和喷气燃料这些主要的交通燃料目前在世界上占据主导地位.

In 2014, the US consumed 375 million gallons of gasoline every day for the entire year, according to the US Energy Information Administration.

据美国能源情报署数据,2014年,美国每天消耗3.75亿加仑的汽油.

Gasoline isn't just a toxic and highly flammable liquid it also produces vapors that pollute our air.

汽油不仅是有毒、易燃液体,它还会释放气体,污染空气.

Burning this liquid releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere – the biggest culprit of climate change.

燃烧汽油会向大气排放二氧化碳,这也是如今气候变化的罪魁祸首.

And diesel and jet fuel do their part in polluting the air with polyaromatic hydrocarbons and nitrous oxides.

柴油和航空煤油使用过程中会释放多环芳烃和氮氧化物,同样会污染大气.
