I've been toying with a 'pretty cool idea' Is it possible do you think to pull it off? I was thinking that maybe we could change a process and move the idea of natural gases/oil products above ground. If we could say... Create a porous rock material infused with chemicals to attract air born gases and mimic the underground process of stores for these products? If a machine could take a compound of Mineral: for channels (pathways) Earth: For simple binding and Chemical compounds: For attraction could we make our own biofuels? I'm not exactly a scientist but I like the idea. If the laws of attraction below ground work as trapped matter and compression/aging then can we free up the idea? Synthesize material and create a porous, secreting rock? Using biological material we know concentrate high values of nitrogen/hydrogen/oxygen (for you know, gas reasons) can an infusion with the material make a mock up? More questions than answers. It should basically be like a stalactite dripping water from a source ;D The infusion can be done fairly simply I think by combining them and subjecting it to extreme heat. Just a passing thought! Kinda neat!

Oil reserves were created from countless living organisms that died millions of years ago. If you want to mimic that, you'd need a whole lot of organic matter. It may well be possible to mimic the process that created oil artificially on a short time scale (perhaps by using machines that can create great pressures and temperatures), but you'd have to do the math to see how feasible it is. Where is this organic matter taken form? How is it transported to the needed locations? How much energy, in total, is needed to accomplish the task of turning it into biofuel? And, most importantly, is the net energy we get out of that biofuel greater than the energy we will expend when producing it?

What if I change the environment? Can I know if its pressure, less oxygen, or more nitrogen rich environment that makes the difference? As far as I can tell decomposition is at hand, can I simply degrade plant material in a quick aged fashion and then finish the product with a chemical additive? Increase the specs? How much if it has to be natural? More questions than answers for now... But maybe if I could take biological material and 'stew it' like with alcohols and then apply a more scientific method? If gases escape, maybe that's the trick, thickening it and making it more suitable by trapping everything inside with 0 escape. Pressurized I guess. My idea is more about attraction though, the draw of gases, its kind of a weird idea but its about triggering reactions. Nature only provides so much. You can't get blood from a stone but what if a stone had veins? You know? Salt stones work like that in a small way where the salt is a mineral embedded, so why not something liquid? Porous material that secretes. I really wan this to work! ;D ha ha If we can stage it step by step and eve just 'see' if its a possibility, to gather these run offs from the raw of nature... Ach...
