Gas is a hydrocarbon, albeit the cleanest, so burning gas releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
The researchers then spray the crystal's surface with a specially designed polymer dissolved in a hydrocarbon-based solvent.
Ohio is already well along its way to a jobs recovery in large measure from a hydrocarbon boom.

Alberta, Canada is site of the world's largest extraction operations from oil sands, heavy earth laden with bitumen, a hydrocarbon-rich mineral.
Natural gas is mostly methane, which has four hydrogen atoms for every carbon atom the maximum that is physically possible for a hydrocarbon.
This will use a hydrocarbon fuel (think exotic petrol) rather than hydrogen.
Any simple alcohol is composed of a number of carbon and hydrogen atoms (like a hydrocarbon such as petrol) together with a single oxygen atom.
FuelCell Energy touts the ability of its fuel cells to directly process a hydrocarbon, such as natural gas or waste gas from a sewage treatment facility.
Add to that our coal and comparable amounts of cheap natural gas, and America is sitting on a hydrocarbon gusher that is unprecedented in scale since the dawn of the oil age.
FORBES: America Take Note: Technology Unleashes Black Gold to Rescue Ireland's Economy
The technology, based around an "organic semiconductor" called pentacene (a hydrocarbon molecule) and a comparative instrument known as a Wheatstone bridge, can be embedded in fabrics such as undershirts and coupled with wireless transmitters.
ENGADGET: "Organic semiconductors" help researchers monitor your heart
Since then, the KRG has taken the lead with Baghdad in negotiations on a hydrocarbon law that is faithful to Iraq's constitution and is conducive to modernizing Iraq's oil infrastructure and substantially increasing its oil production.
On Jan. 11, 2010, a consortium of exploration and production companies led by Jim Bob Moffett's McMoRan Exploration announced a hydrocarbon discovery in 10 feet of water 20 miles from the Louisiana coast in the Gulf of Mexico.
Think about what this advancement has meant just in terms of access to the resources: When drilling into a hydrocarbon bearing formation 100 feet thick, vertical drilling would allow an operator to contact 100 feet of rock, which would limit your potential recovery to whatever oil or gas would flow into that length of pipe.
A. hydrocarbon expansion would generate a flood of domestic jobs and government tax receipts.
FORBES: Fast Track to Jobs Through A North American Energy Market
A. hydrocarbon resource base is some 700 percent greater than all the resources in the Middle East.

The next trick, which Exxon's money will help pay for, is to tweak the biochemical pathway that makes the algal oil (which is known, technically, as a triglyceride, and has oxygen atoms in it as well as carbon and hydrogen) so that the oxygen-containing parts of the molecules are snipped off and a pure hydrocarbon is left.
That will instantly put him back in a highly exposed hydrocarbon position if he does.
Hurricane Hydrocarbon , a Canadian company with huge energy assets in Kazakhstan, and Pacific Corp.
It is certainly true that, against all predictions of peak oil, new technologies have helped drive a surge in US hydrocarbon production.
FORBES: State Of The Union: Apparently, Hugh Hefner is Responsible for Abstinence
He told me that the company has taken its own water samples in the Oriente, and has never identified a positive reading for hydrocarbon contamination.
We often learn more about hydrocarbon fundamentals when a deal collapses, rather than seeing actual completion.
The data collected during a critical operation to monitor hydrocarbon inflow was ignored and nothing was done.
Most of the current exploration is unlikely to lead to hydrocarbon production for a decade at least.
PCBs do their damage by binding to a protein called the aryl hydrocarbon receptor, or AHR, thus stopping it working properly.
The attraction is that you squirrel away any proceeds from hydrocarbon revenues in a trust fund, as the Norwegians have done with breathtaking success.
Changing the constitution, which is necessary to allow foreign companies to take a stake in the country's ample hydrocarbon reserves and for Pemex to enter into joint ventures, requires a two-thirds majority vote in Congress.
That entails a loss of US jobs, loss of US economic momentum and ultimately, a reduced American stake in global hydrocarbon fundamentals: Music to the ears of conventional gas players in Russia, Central Asia, the Middle East and Latin America.
FORBES: New US Sub-Prime: Putting A Price On 'Chesapeake' Gas
Mark Carpenter, research fellow at Cranfield University's Chemical Safety, Fuels and Environment Group, said that hydrocarbon fuels were "a very good way of storing energy" but that linking the process to renewable energy was the only way to make it tenable.
But in the short term, researchers are working on reformers which produce hydrogen aboard vehicles by extracting the gas from methanol or other hydrocarbon fuels -- a process that can release pollutants, though at far lower levels than internal combustion engines, Roan said.
Stone Energy (SGY), which is headquartered in Lafayette, Louisiana, is drilling several deep and ultradeep wells in Vermilion and Cameron parishes in the belief that gas-bearing reservoirs below the shallow Gulf bleed onshore, and that onshore drilling offers a way to tap an abundant hydrocarbon resource without incurring the considerable expenses of underwater operations.
