Stainless steel replaces platinum in hydrogen producing microbial electrolysis cells
Platinum is highly desired in jewelry and as a catalyst, but in both cases it is expensive. Now, Penn State researchers have found a way to replace the platinum catalyst in their hydrogen generating microbial electrolysis cells with stainless steel brushes without losing efficiency. view more (2009-03-16)
Component of asphalt eyed as new fuel source
The pavement material that cars drive on may wind up in their fuel tanks as scientists seek ways of transforming asphaltenes - the main component of asphalt - into an abundant new source of fuel. view more (2009-09-24)
Argonne breakthrough may revolutionize ethylene production
A new environmentally friendly technology created by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory may revolutionize the production of the world's most commonly produced organic compound, ethylene. view more (2008-02-06)
UK petrol-buying behaviour probed by Imperial researchers
New research out today by Imperial College researchers shows that increasing petrol price reduces fuel consumption - but rising incomes and falls in other motoring costs are presently increasing the demand for petrol and the amount of traffic on UK roads. The study, carried out by Professor Stephen Glaister and Dr Dan Graham of the department of... view more... (2000-09-29)
New research network: Artificial photosynthesis för future energy producion
Nature utilizes energy from the sun for its production. Some algae produce hydrogen from water with the help of solar energy. So why not imitate nature to extract renewable energy without harming the environment? The EU is now giving European research a boost by allocating EUR1.8 million to a new network to be led by Uppsala University. Plant... view more... (2005-02-21)

From galaxy collisions to star birth: ISO finds the missing link
Data from ISO, the infrared observatory of the European Space Agency (ESA), have provided the first direct evidence that shock waves generated by galaxy collisions excite the gas from which new stars will form. The result also provides important clues on how the birth of the first stars was triggered and speeded up in the early Universe. By... view more... (2005-03-29)

Clean Power For The Future
Two scientists from the University of Surrey's Materials Chemistry Group within the School of Biomedical and Molecular Sciences, has been awarded almost £250,000 to further their research into new materials for use in fuel cell applications. Dr Saiful Islam and Dr Peter Slater received £178,000 from the Engineering and Physical... view more... (2003-08-11)
Connecting fuel-cells to the power grid
The travelling colossus weighs 20 tons and measures over seven meters in length. A few months ago, the core of the “PEM Oberhausen” power supply system completed its long journey from canadian Vancouver to the Ruhr region in Germany. On August 27, Ernst Schwanhold, the North Rhine-Westphalia minister for industry, small and... view more... (2002-09-20)
Weizmann Institute Scientists Develop a Unique Approach for Splitting Water into Hydrogen and Oxygen
The design of efficient systems for splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen, driven by sunlight is among the most important challenges facing science today, underpinning the long term potential of hydrogen as a clean, sustainable fuel. view more (2009-04-07)
Are microbes the answer to the energy crisis?
The answer to the looming fuel crisis in the 21st century may be found by thinking small, microscopic in fact. Microscopic organisms from bacteria and cyanobacteria, to fungi to microalgae, are biological factories that are proving to efficient sources of inexpensive, environmentally friendly biofuels that can serve as alternatives to oil,... view more...

Green catalysts provide promise for cleaning toxins and pollutants
Tetra-Amido Macrocyclic Ligands (TAMLs) are environmentally friendly catalysts with a host of applications for reducing and cleaning up pollutants, and a prime example of "green chemistry." Carnegie Mellon University's Terry Collins, the catalyst's inventor, believes that the small-molecule catalysts have the potential to be even more... view more... (2008-08-18)
Chemistry & Industry - 3 June Issue
NEWS Hydrogen is the fuel of the future says Johnson Matthey's CEO (page 4) Christopher Clark, chief executive of Johnson Matthey, warned that the world needs to change from carbon to hydrogen as its major energy source in the next decades, as the effects of global warming become more apparent. Regenerating human fingers (page 6) Japanese... view more... (2002-05-30)
Boat tail reduces truck fuel consumption by 7.5 percent
An articulated lorry was driven for a period of one year with a boat tail (of varying length) and one year without a boat tail. The improved aerodynamics, depending on the length of the boat tail, resulted in reduced fuel consumption (and emissions!) of up to 7.5 percent. The optimum boat tail length proved to be two metres. view more (2009-11-06)
