An Introduction to Wastewater Treatment

The objective of wastewater treatment is to reduce the pollutants to less than maximum permissible limits to prevent the threat to the environment and human health.

Hybrid Electric Vehicles - Cleaner & Healthier Alternatives?

Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) combine the power from an internal combustion engine with the battery and electric motor from an electric vehicle.

Using Renewable Biomass Resources to Produce Bioenergy Products

Biomass is defined as any organic material produced by the growth of microorganisms, plants or animals, and it can be converted into usable forms of energy.

Bacteria Brings New Insights to Fuel Cells

The continuing climate change crisis means that research into sources of alternative renewable energy generation is a top priority.

What is Ocean Acidification?

Approximately half of the carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere from human activities has dissolved into the ocean.

Methane Gas - What is Methane Gas and Converting Landfill Gas into a Form of Renewable Energy

Carbon dioxide and methane generated as a result of the decomposition of solid waste in landfills are known as landfill gas. Both gases are greenhouse gases that lead to global warming.

Researchers Chemically Transform Carbon Dioxide into Carbon-Neutral Liquid Fuels

Using concentrated solar energy to reverse combustion, a research team from Sandia National Laboratories is building a prototype device intended to chemically “reenergize” carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide using concentrated solar power. The carbon monoxide could then be used to make hydrogen or serve as a building block to synthesize a liquid combustible fuel, such as methanol or even gasoline, diesel and jet fuel.

What is Clean-Coal Technology?

Technologies are available to filter out about 99% of the tiny impurity fragments, as well as removing more than 95% of the acid rain pollutants in coal.
