Giant star mass, when on the main sequence, was below approximately , it will never reach the central temperatures necessary to fuse helium. It will therefore remain a hydrogen-fusing red giant until it runs out of hydrogen, at which point it will become a helium white dwarf. According to stellar evolution theory, no star of such low mass can have evolved to that stage within the age of the Universe. In stars above about the core temperature eventually reaches 10 K and helium will begin to fuse to carbon and oxygen in the core by the triple-alpha process. When the core is
Power-to-gas reaction, or biological methanation resulting in an extra energy conversion loss of 8%. The methane /SNG may then be fed into the natural gas grid or further converted in to LPG by synthesising SNG with partial reverse hydrogenation at high pressure and low temperature. LPG in turn can be converted into alkylate which is a premium gasoline blending stock because it has exceptional antiknock properties and gives clean burning. The third method uses the output gas of a wood gas generator or a biogas plant, after the biogas upgrader is mixed with the produced hydrogen from the electrolyzer, to upgrade
