So transporting gloopy oil is far more profitable than shifting lighter-than-air gas.
It works by forcing fuel directly into the combustion chamber of each cylinder to mix air and gas simultaneously at the point of combustion, rather than mixing air and gas in a separate chamber like more conventional engines.
RAPHaEL -- which is part of a larger RoMeLa robot project named CHARLI -- has already won several awards, including grabbing first prize at the 2008-2009 Compressed Air and Gas Institute Innovation Award Contest.

Air quality and gas pipelines are being monitored for safety, and gas supplies have also been disconnected until any risk has passed.
Air quality and gas pipelines are being monitored for safety, he said.
In some places, the practice has been blamed for air pollution and gas leaks that have ruined well water, but the Obama administration and many state regulators say the practice is safe when done properly.

The flex-fuel engine--prized because it uses a renewable resource that reduces dependency on traditional gasoline--on the Cherokee was even worse: three out of 10 and one out of 10 for the air pollution and gas emissions, respectively.
The difference between turbocharging and supercharging is simple: a turbocharger boosts engine air pressure by using exhaust gas to power a turbine that pushes more air into the combustion chamber.

Because the President and his Environmental Protection Agency has had the temerity to impose stricter air pollution requirements on fracking operations that were spewing dangerous methane gas into the air.

But it turns out that pilots can run the engine better by adding some air and subtracting some gas in the fuel mixture.
Preventing leaks also cuts back on other air pollutants associated with gas production and use, including such volatile organic compounds as ethane and butane.
The repair shop put an engine on a test bed, attached sensors, hooked it to computers, and tried every possible combination of gas and air.
Bolick also cited the example of specialty-gas supplier Air Products, which has been able to save large amounts of energy by using analytics tools to monitor and predict consumer demand and thereby optimize timing and efficiency of delivery routes.

Every second, the world's smokestacks and cars pump 2.4 million pounds of the heat-trapping gas into the air.
So thick was the tear gas in the air, there were nights I could not enter my building.
But because of federal and state air regulations, not because gas is cheaper.
Haitian security officers shot tear gas into the air to disburse the crowd.
Molotov cocktails flew through the tear gas-infested air of Athens on Wednesday as the European sovereign debt crisis flares up once again.
Large mechanical rollers shape pool-cue sized rods of silver, there's the sound of metal being worked, and the smell of gas in the air.
One such project is in the sprawling Indian city of Ahmedabad, where a fleet of buses running on compressed natural gas is reducing air pollution.
The authors say a higher limit could increase gas emissions and air pollution and could lead to increased obesity, with more people taking advantage of shorter car journeys.

More general areas included are what percentage of the population voted and how many trust Parliament, the state of the economy and the environment - the latter measured in part using greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants.
Prior to the EPA phase out the economics were not attractive enough to promote wide spread reclamation Despite the fact that it is illegal, many many contractors would and did vent the gas into the air rather then capture and reclaim it because in many cases they would have to pay to get rid of the dirty gas.
The process will not be truly carbon-neutral (for that, the CO2 would have to come out of the atmosphere, and if the algae could use only the limited amount of the gas in natural air, they would not grow fast enough) but each carbon atom will have been made to do double duty in a fuel before it finally escapes.
The data showed, overwhelmingly, that the reduced-gas, more-air method of power management (called lean-of-peak, or LOP) worked best.
The new "multilateration" monitoring system is a joint initiative by Oil and Gas UK and National Air Traffic Services Ltd (Nats).
