Waste water treatment plant mud used as 'green' fuel
Catalan scientists have shown that using mud from waste water treatment plants as a partial alternative fuel can enable cement factories to reduce their CO2 emissions and comply with the Kyoto Protocol, as well as posing no risk to human health and being profitable. View More (2009-06-24)
New cobalt-graphene catalyst could challenge platinum for use in fuel cells
There's a new contender in the race to find an inexpensive alternative to platinum catalysts for use in hydrogen fuel cells. View More (2012-10-18)
Research Shows Ventilated Auto Seats Improve Fuel Economy, Comfort
The U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has demonstrated that ventilated automotive seats not only can improve passenger comfort but also a vehicle's fuel economy. View More (2006-03-03)
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.

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 become true. The Moscow scientists have thought up... View More (2002-02-08)
Bioethanol's impact on water supply 3 times higher than once thought
At a time when water supplies are scarce in many areas of the United States, scientists in Minnesota are reporting that production of bioethanol - often regarded as the clean-burning energy source of the future - may consume up to three times more water than previously thought.

Blocking carbon dioxide fixation in bacteria increases biofuel production
Reducing the ability of certain bacteria to fix carbon dioxide can greatly increase their production of hydrogen gas that can be used as a biofuel. View More (2011-03-30)
NIST finds that ethanol-loving bacteria accelerate cracking of pipeline steels
U.S. production of ethanol for fuel has been rising quickly, topping 13 billion gallons in 2010. With the usual rail, truck and barge transport methods under potential strain, existing gas pipelines might be an efficient alternative for moving this renewable fuel around the country.

Simulating gasification
A process called gasification can turn carbonaceous fuels-coal, petroleum, or biomass-into syngas, a cleaner-burning fuel mix of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. View More (2011-03-07)
Wastewater produces electricity and desalinates water
A process that cleans wastewater and generates electricity can also remove 90 percent of salt from brackish water or seawater, according to an international team of researchers from China and the U.S. View More (2009-08-07)
How sea water could corrode nuclear fuel
Japan used seawater to cool nuclear fuel at the stricken Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear plant after the tsunami in March 2011 -- and that was probably the best action to take at the time, says Professor Alexandra Navrotsky of the University of California, Davis. View More (2012-01-27)
Nanofibers clean sulfur from fuel
Sulfur compounds in petroleum fuels have met their nano-structured match. View More (2012-12-18)
Clean fuels could reduce deaths from ship smokestacks by 40,000 annually
Rising levels of smokestack emissions from oceangoing ships will cause an estimated 87,000 deaths worldwide each year by 2012 - almost one-third higher than previously believed, according to the second major study on that topic. View More (2009-07-09)
SOFC micro CHP plants to be climate-friendly power stations in homes
The generation of electricity and heat with no pollution and with considerably less emission of the greenhouse gas CO2 sounds too good to be true. However, it is possible with the so-called SOFC fuel cells, which Risø has been conducting research into for over 20 years. The technology is now on its way to reach Danish and international companies including consumers. View More (2010-11-30)
Renewable Energy Reviewed by Chemistry & Industry - Special Issue Considers the Future of Power
Coinciding with the UK government’s energy review, the latest issue of Chemistry & Industry magazine (18 February 2002) evaluates the current and future status of renewable energy. Wind, landfill gas, biomass, solar, wave energy and fuel cells are covered. View More (2002-02-14)
Device Burns Fuel with Almost Zero Emissions
Georgia Tech researchers have created a new combustor (combustion chamber where fuel is burned to power an engine or gas turbine) designed to burn fuel in a wide range of devices — with next to no emission of nitrogen oxide (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO), two of the primary causes of air pollution.

Bacteria use hydrogen, carbon dioxide to produce electricity
Researchers have engineered a strain of electricity-producing bacteria that can grow using hydrogen gas as its sole electron donor and carbon dioxide as its sole source of carbon. View More (2013-05-20)
New study sheds light on long-term effects of logging after wildfire
A new study on the effects of timber harvest following wildfire shows that the potential for a recently burned forest to reburn can be high with or without logging. View More (2007-04-10)
Microbes Churn Out Hydrogen at Record Rate
By adding a few modifications to their successful wastewater fuel cell, researchers have coaxed common bacteria to produce hydrogen in a new, efficient way. View More (2007-11-14)
Coal and black liquor can produce energy from papermaking
Adding a little coal and processing the papermaking industry's black liquor waste into synthesis gas is a better choice than burning it for heat, improves the carbon footprint of coal-to-liquid processes, and can produce a fuel versatile enough to run a cooking stove or a truck, according to a team of Penn state engineers.
