General description
2,2,4-Trimethylpentane (TMP, isooctane), a volatile organic solvent is used to improve the octane rating of combustion fuels. TMP is a primary reference fuel with an arbitrary octane number of 100 as it burns smoothly without resulting in any knocking. It also a component of gasoline. The physical characteristics of the binary mixtures of n-heptane and 2,2,4-trimethylpentane has been studied that helps in understanding the combustion process of mixtures of primary reference fuels.

The unabated rise in anthropogenic CO₂ emissions is predicted to strongly influence the ocean's environment, increasing the mean sea-surface temperature by 4°C and causing a pH decline of 0.3 units by the year 2100. These changes are likely to affect

The metabolic engineering of photosynthetic microbes for production of novel hydrocarbons presents an opportunity for development of advanced designer biofuels. These can be significantly more sustainable, throughout the production-to-consumption lifecycle, than the fossil fuels and crop-based biofuels they might replace.
