Purdue engineers create safer, more efficient nuclear fuel, model its performance
Purdue University nuclear engineers have developed an advanced nuclear fuel that could save millions of dollars annually by lasting longer and burning more efficiently than conventional fuels, and researchers also have created a mathematical model to further develop the technology. view more (2005-09-29)
Further commitment to sustainable power generation
A further £10M for research into renewable energy technologies Following the Government's "Energy Review" a further £10M is being put into research into renewable energy technology. The kind of work being invested in will include: Power distribution networks - ensuring a high quality, reliable supply of electricity. Marine... view more... (2002-05-31)
Report examines hidden costs of energy production and use
A new report from the National Research Council examines and, when possible, estimates "hidden" costs of energy production and use -- such as the damage air pollution imposes on human health -- that are not reflected in market prices of coal, oil, other energy sources, or the electricity and gasoline produced from them. view more (2009-10-20)
Two bacteria better than one in cellulose-fed fuel cell
No currently known bacteria that allow termites and cows to digest cellulose, can power a microbial fuel cell and those bacteria that can produce electrical current cannot eat cellulose. view more (2007-07-30)
News Alert: Energy for the future - Hydrogen and Fuel Cell industry sets out its blueprint
At its second General Assembly on 17 and 18 March, the European Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology Platform will present its proposals for the medium- and long-term development of hydrogen and fuel cells for carrying and converting energy cleanly. Europe faces the challenge of fluctuating oil prices, concerns about global warming and growth... view more... (2005-03-16)
The lung of the fuel cell
However environment-friendly fuel cells may be, like any other energy source their success on the market depends not only on their area of application but also, more particularly, on their price. A number of technological hurdles will have to be overcome before the various systems can be mass-produced cost-effectively. Bipolar plates, which... view more... (2003-04-04)
Agricultural soil erosion not contributing to global warming, study shows
Agricultural soil erosion is not a source of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, according to research published online in Science. view more (2007-10-26)
Biologists offer distilleries a leaner, cleaner solution
Biologists in Manchester have helped create a breakthrough in alcohol production that could save industry millions of pounds and help clean up the environment. Many distilleries across Europe still rely on 19th century technology pioneered by Louis Pasteur, so the invention of a vastly more efficient fermenting system offers exciting... view more...

INL-led team achieves nuclear fuel performance milestone
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory, in partnership with three other science and engineering powerhouses, reached a major domestic milestone relating to nuclear fuel performance on March 8. view more (2008-03-11)
Smaller isn't always better: Catalyst simulations could lower fuel cell cost
Imagine a car that runs on hydrogen from solar power and produces water instead of carbon emissions. While vehicles like this won't be on the market anytime soon, University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers are making incremental but important strides in the fuel cell technology that could make clean cars a reality. view more (2009-09-18)
Power from hydrogen moves a step closer
An invention being developed jointly by the Low Temperature Engineering Group at the University of Southampton and BOC Edwards could help turn the dream of hydrogen technology into reality. In future, electricity, and in some applications useful heat, could be generated in a fuel cell through the combination of hydrogen and oxygen, with water... view more... (2003-10-14)
A POX on syn
A way to convert natural gas into raw materials for the chemical industry and generate power as a by-product could lead to more environmental benign manufacturing processes. view more (2007-09-12)
Enzyme cocktail converts cellulosic materials, water into hydrogen fuel
Tomorrow's fuel-cell vehicles may be powered by enzymes that consume cellulose from woodchips or grass and exhale hydrogen. view more (2009-02-12)
Pollution puts fat rats at heart attack risk
Obese individuals at risk of diabetes are in danger of cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks, when exposed to pollution from diesel exhaust or power plant emissions. view more (2006-01-31)
MIT creates new material for fuel cells
MIT engineers have improved the power output of one type of fuel cell by more than 50 percent through technology that could help these environmentally friendly energy storage devices find a much broader market, particularly in portable electronics. view more (2008-05-16)
MIT: Lack of fuel may limit US nuclear power expansion
Limited supplies of fuel for nuclear power plants may thwart the renewed and growing interest in nuclear energy in the United States and other nations, says an MIT expert on the industry. view more (2007-03-22)
Microbial Fuel Cells: Optimization Of The Anode Compartment For Improved Electron Transfer
A microbial fuel cell mimics a biological system, in which bacteria do not directly transfer the energy-rich electrons gained out of the feeding to their characteristic electron acceptor. Instead, the electrons are diverted towards an electrode (anode) and subsequently conducted over a resistance or power user, and a cathode (see figure). At the... view more... (2003-11-14)
Fill up with biodiesel, please
One day, petroleum and fuels derived from it will be exhausted. Moreover, every time we take to the road in our vehicle, the mark we leave on the natural environment is huge. Nowadays, new alternatives to fossil fuels are being developed. One of these is biodiesel, a fuel produced from vegetable oil. For a month now this biodiesel can be found in... view more...

Corn waste potentially more than ethanol
After the corn harvest, whether for cattle feed or corn on the cob, farmers usually leave the stalks and stems in the field, but now, a team of Penn State researchers think corn stover can be used not only to manufacture ethanol, but to generate electricity directly. view more (2006-07-20)
Sweet fuel supply
A new type of fuel cell powered with glucose derived from biomass is described in the latest issue of the Inderscience Publication International Journal of Global Energy Issues. view more (2007-11-28)
