U.S. Navy and United Kingdom launch high-energy fuel biosynthesis research

Introduction: The US Naval Air Combat Center Weapon Division (NAWCWD) is collaborating with the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom to conduct research on the use of biosynthetic high-density missile fuel in seawater to accelerate the transformation from laboratory to battlefield applications. This collaboration was funded by the U.S. Naval Research Global Office through the "Visit Scientist Program" to researchers at the University of Manchester and coordinated and supported by the British Defense Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL).

The production of specific materials from conventional petroleum raw materials using traditional synthetic techniques is expensive and complicated; biosynthetic methods are not only effective, but also have greater economic potential, and will bring disruptive changes in the future. Synthetic biology as a technology platform allows scientists to redesign biological processes using engineering principles, such as the natural characteristics of organisms such as the elasticity of spider silk, the strength and toughness of shells, and the manufacture of high-quality materials. In terms of current development, related technologies will be mass-produced in the next few years and can be expanded according to industrial needs. The US Naval Air Warfare Center Weapon Division is undertaking a synthetic fuel development project funded by the US Navy ’s Innovative Science and Engineering Project, which requires that the realized synthetic fuel has a higher combustion heat and greater gas emissions than traditional petroleum-derived jet fuel. In December 2018, members of the U.S. Naval Air Warfare Center Chemical Division, researchers from the University of Manchester, and representatives from the U.S. Naval Research Global Office, DARPA, and DSTL began to jointly discuss the use of biosynthetic molecules to manufacture high-altitude missiles and jet propulsion. Density fuel.

The Weapons Division of the US Naval Air Warfare Center has patented technology for transforming biosynthetic molecules, which can convert linalool (a type of alcohol that occurs naturally in plants) to cyclic alcohols and isobutene, which can be produced by chemical dehydration of alcohols. The chemical composition of high-density missile fuel can perfectly replicate the traditional petroleum derivatives. The University of Manchester has the technical potential to produce linalool in large quantities, and it is economical and efficient, which can guarantee the sufficient supply of linalool. In this cooperation, the US Naval Air Combat Center Weapon Division will use biosynthetic linalool produced by researchers at the University of Manchester as a raw material for a synthetic fuel mixture, and jointly propose a scheme for producing high-energy fuel precursors using synthetic biology. At the same time, the microorganisms used by the University of Manchester can tolerate high concentrations of salts and impurities, unlike traditional synthetic biology that requires sterile conditions, stainless steel reactors and fresh water. This allows fermentation to be carried out in seawater, and ultimately enables the production of fuels, lubricants and other chemicals at sea or coastal naval bases around the world, thereby reducing the demand for precious freshwater resources and significantly reducing production costs.

The U.S. Naval Research Global Office facilitated this collaboration among international researchers and provided initial investment through the "Visit Scientist Program". The main purpose of its mission is to support innovative, high-risk and high-reward research that meets the Navy ’s long-term research priorities and accelerate the transformation of new technologies to the battlefield; constantly update its understanding of the status quo of technological development and avoid being preempted by opponents; promote international Scientific research cooperation to strengthen partnership with world-class research institutions.
