Ionic Liquid Catalyst Helps Turn Emissions Into Fuel
October 6, 2011 — Scientists have overcome one major obstacle to artificial photosynthesis, a promising technology that simultaneously reduces atmospheric carbon dioxide and produces fuel. They have now used an ionic ... > full story -
Certain Biofuel Mandates Unlikely to Be Met by 2022; Unless New Technologies, Policies Developed
October 4, 2011 — It is unlikely the United States will meet some specific biofuel mandates under the current Renewable Fuel Standard by 2022 unless innovative technologies are developed or policies ... > full story -
Hydrogen Released to Fuel Cell More Quickly When Stored in Metal Nanoparticles
September 29, 2011 — Researchers have demonstrated that the size of a metal alloy nanoparticle influences the speed with which hydrogen gas is released when stored in a metal hydride. The smaller the size of the ... > full story -
New Advanced Biofuel Identified as an Alternative to Diesel Fuel
September 27, 2011 — Researchers have identified a terpene called bisabolane as a potential biofuel for replacing diesel fuel. The researchers have also engineered two strains of microbes -- a bacteria and a yeast -- ... > full story -
'Synthetic Biology' Could Replace Oil for Chemical Industry
September 14, 2011 — Vats of blue-green algae could one day replace oil wells in producing raw materials for the chemical industry, a chemist ... > full story -
Rebalancing the Nuclear Debate Through Education
September 9, 2011 — Better physics teaching with a particular emphasis on radioactivity and radiation science could improve public awareness through education of the environmental benefits and relative safety of nuclear ... > full story -
Switching from Coal to Natural Gas Would Do Little for Global Climate, Study Indicates
September 8, 2011 — Although the burning of natural gas emits far less carbon dioxide than coal, a new study concludes that a greater reliance on natural gas would fail to significantly slow down climate change. Coal ... > full story -
Iron 'Veins' Are Secret of Promising New Hydrogen Storage Material
August 31, 2011 — Scientists have a new approach to the problem of safely storing hydrogen in future fuel-cell powered cars -- molecular scale 'veins' of iron permeating grains of magnesium like a network of ... > full story -
Hydrogen Powered Prototype Vessel for Inland Waterways: Canal Boat Runs on Fuel Cell Drive
August 31, 2011 — Researchers have been operating a canal boat with a fuel cell drive for three years now. In the world of shipbuilding, however, different rules apply than those in the automobile manufacturing ... > full story -
