Turning biomass and carbon dioxide into fuels far cleaner than traditional fossil fuels and providing water almost everywhere in the world using nanotechnology are just two examples of the transformative work that will be presented during the plenary session of the 248th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS), the world’s largest scientific…
A new solution for storing hydrogen fuel for alternative energy
Editor’s note: This news should be of interest to the wind industry, because it will be a link in the supply chain of electrolyzed hydrogen when demand increases. Source: American Chemical Society. Turning the “hydrogen economy” concept into a reality, even on a small scale, has been a bumpy road, but scientists are developing a…
Process harvests electricity from the carbon dioxide emissions
Editor’s note: The technology described here is still a laboratory experiment but has promise for turning some of the CO2 generated into significant and useful power. The author does not show the calculation for the 1,570 TWh, but we can believe that it is a lot. One thought: if successfully commercialized, it might let coal…
