Algal biofuel is an alternative to fossil fuel, which is generated by specific algae species from carbon dioxide.
A discovery in molecular chemistry may help remove a barrier to the widespread use of diesel and other fuel-efficient "lean burn" vehicle engines.
The far-ranging potential applications of this technology include DOE’s hydrogen fuel cell-powered “Freedom CAR,” and personal power-jackets that could use heat from the human body to recharge cell-phones and other electronic devices.
High-Density Polyethylene, usually shortened to HDPE or PEHD, is a plastic polymer with flexible properties which make it ideal for a wide range of applications.
Pyrolysis is a process of chemically decomposing organic materials at elevated temperatures in the absence of oxygen. The process typically occurs at temperatures above 430°C (800°F) and under pressure.
