One-Third of Car Fuel Consumption Is Due to Friction Loss
January 12, 2012 — No less than one-third of a car's fuel consumption is spent in overcoming friction, and this friction loss has a direct impact on both fuel consumption and emissions. However, new technology can ... > full story -
Algae for Your Fuel Tank
January 10, 2012 — The available amount of fossil fuels is limited and their combustion in vehicle motors increases atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. The generation of fuels from biomass as an alternative is on the ... > full story -

Go to Work on a Christmas Card: UK's Wrapping Paper and Festive Cards Could Provide Energy to Send a Bus to the Moon More Than 20 Times
December 23, 2011 — If all the UK's discarded wrapping paper and Christmas cards were collected and fermented, they could make enough biofuel to run a double-decker bus to the moon and back more than 20 times, according ... > full story -
New Method Significantly Reduces Production Costs of Fuel Cells
December 20, 2011 — Researchers have developed a new and significantly cheaper method of manufacturing fuel cells. A noble metal nanoparticle catalyst for fuel cells is prepared using atomic layer ... > full story -
Chemicals and Biofuel from Wood Biomass
December 19, 2011 — A new method makes it possible to use microbes to produce butanol suitable for biofuel and other industrial chemicals from wood biomass. Butanol is particularly suited as a transport fuel because it ... > full story -

Building a Sustainable Hydrogen Economy
December 8, 2011 — The concept of the hydrogen economy (HE), in which hydrogen would replace the carbon-based fossil fuels of the twentieth century was first mooted in the 1970s. Today, HE is seen as a potential ... > full story -
U.S. CAFE Standards Create Profit Incentive for Larger Vehicles
December 8, 2011 — The current Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards create a financial incentive for auto companies to make bigger vehicles that are allowed to meet lower targets, according to a new ... > full story -
Cost-Effectiveness of Biofuels and Their Ability to Cut Fossil Fuel Use Questioned
November 29, 2011 — A new study questions the cost-effectiveness of biofuels and says they would barely reduce fossil fuel use and would likely increase greenhouse gas ... > full story -
Carbon Mitigation Strategy Uses Wood for Buildings First, Bioenergy Second
November 22, 2011 — A new study is first to focus on the extra carbon savings that can be squeezed from trees when wood not suitable for long-term building materials is used for bioenergy: Depending on the process used, ... > full story -
Nanoparticles Used as Additives in Diesel Fuels Can Travel from Lungs to Liver
November 17, 2011 — Recent studies have demonstrated that nanoparticles of cerium oxide -- common diesel fuel additives used to increase the fuel efficiency of automobile engines -- can travel from the lungs to the ... > full story
