A Better Way To Make Hydrogen From Biofuels
August 20, 2008 — Researchers here have found a way to convert ethanol and other biofuels into hydrogen very efficiently. A new catalyst makes hydrogen from ethanol with 90 percent yield, at a workable temperature, ... > full story -
Algae: Biofuel Of The Future?
August 18, 2008 — Researchers have a plan to greatly increase algae oil yields by feeding the algae extra carbon dioxide (the main greenhouse gas) and organic material like sewage, meaning the algae could ... > full story -
Green Catalysts Provide Promise For Cleaning Toxins And Pollutants
August 18, 2008 — Tetra-Amido Macrocyclic Ligands are environmentally friendly catalysts with a host of applications for reducing and cleaning up pollutants, and a prime example of "green chemistry." Carnegie Mellon ... > full story -
Key Photosynthesis Step Replicated: Scientists Learn From Nature To Split Water Into Hydrogen And Oxygen
August 17, 2008 — Chemists have used chemicals found in plants to replicate a key process in photosynthesis paving the way to a new approach that uses sunlight to split water into hydrogen and ... > full story -
Turning Waste Material Into Ethanol
August 13, 2008 — Researchers have developed a method for converting crop residue, wood pulp, animal waste and garbage into ethanol. The process first turns the waste material into synthesis gas, or syngas, and ... > full story -
