New Research Turns Sewage Farms into Power Plants
Researchers at the University of Warwick's Warwick Process Technology Group have devised a process that turns wet waste from sewage farms and paper mills into a source of power. University of Warwick researcher Dr Ashok Bhattacharya and his team are part of a Europe wide consortium that have cracked the problem of how to extract very pure levels... view more... (2002-04-29)
New fossil plant discovery links Patagonia to New Guinea in a warmer past
Fossil plants are windows to the past, providing us with clues as to what our planet looked like millions of years ago. view more (2009-11-11)
First plant producing biodiesel
Bionor Transformaci'łn, S.A. has inaugurated the first plant in the Basque Country for the production of a biodiesel fuel , based on used vegetable oil and other renewable materials. The plant will produce 20,000 tons of biodiesel fuel a year. BIONOR Transformaci'łn, S.A. is a company made up of AZTI, the Basque Energy Corporation, by companies... view more... (2003-05-23)
US fires release large amounts of carbon dioxide
Large-scale fires in a western or southeastern state can pump as much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in a few weeks as the state's entire motor vehicle traffic does in a year. view more (2007-11-01)
Nitrate in Lake Superior: On the rise
Nitrate levels in Lake Superior, which have been rising steadily over the past century, are about 2.7 percent of the way toward making the lake's water unsafe to drink, according to a study by University of Minnesota (UMN) researchers. view more (2007-06-06)
Fossil record reveals elusive jellyfish more than 500 million years old
Using recently discovered "fossil snapshots" found in rocks more than 500 million years old, three University of Kansas researchers have described the oldest definitive jellyfish ever found. view more (2007-10-31)
Improved reaction data heat up the biofuels harvest
High food prices, concern over dwindling supplies of fossil fuels and the desire for clean, renewable energy have led many to seek ways to make ethanol out of cellulosic sources such as wood, hay and switchgrass. view more (2008-08-07)

During exercise, the human brain shifts into high gear on 'alternative energy'
Alternative energy is all the rage in major media headlines, but for the human brain, this is old news. According to a study by researchers from Denmark and The Netherlands published in the October 2008 print issue of The FASEB Journal, the brain, just like muscles, works harder during strenuous exercise and is fueled by lactate, rather than... view more...

Get that tiger out of the tank!
Legal requirements on the disposal of scrapped vehicles are being tightened. New European legislation due to enter force in 2006 requires at least 85 percent by weight of end-of-life vehicles to be reclaimed - a figure that is likely to rise. Eighty percent of the recovered material has to be processed for reuse, i.e. not destroyed by incineration... view more... (2003-09-18)
Giving platinum catalysts a golden boost for fuel cells
Platinum might outweigh gold in the jewelry market, but as part of an ongoing effort to produce efficient and affordable fuel cells, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory are studying how gold atoms might enhance the value of the pricier metal. view more (2007-03-28)
Explaining the methane mystery
Scientists have explained why atmospheric levels of the greenhouse gas methane have stabilised in recent years, but warn that increases could resume in the near future. view more (2006-09-28)
Fuel cells gearing up to power auto industry
The average price for all types of gasoline is holding steady around $2.95 per gallon nationwide, but the pain at the pump might be short-lived as research from the University of Houston may eliminate one of the biggest hurdles to the wide-scale production of fuel cell-powered vehicles. view more (2007-10-31)
New type of fuel found in Patagonia fungus
A team led by a Montana State University professor has found a fungus that produces a new type of diesel fuel, which they say holds great promise. view more (2008-11-04)
Automated tailgating cuts pollution
An automated way of allowing cars to drive much closer to each other in heavy moving traffic, so-called platooning, could cut congestion, save fuel and cut greenhouse gas emissions, according to research published today in Inderscience's International Journal of the Environment and Pollution. view more (2007-07-12)

The creation of long platinum nanowires at the University of Rochester could soon lead to the development of commercially viable fuel cells. view more (2009-03-12)
Microorganisms one part of the solution to energy problem, says report
The answer to one of the world's largest problems - the need for clean, renewable sources of energy - might just come from some of the world's smallest inhabitants - bacteria - according to a new report, Microbial Energy Conversion, released by the American Academy of Microbiology. view more (2006-11-17)
Fuel From Natural Gas
The scientists from the Topchiev Institute of Petrochemical Synthesis, Russian Academy of Sciences, won Golden Medal and a bonus grant at the 49th World Exhibition of Invention, Research and Industrial Innovation ("Eureka") in Brussels for their work "Synthesis of dimethyl ether". The dateless dream of several generations of chemists has finally... view more... (2002-02-08)
