A new innovative technology has been developed by a British company for producing petrol from elements in the atmosphere. This technology seems promising in fighting global warming and resolving the energy crisis. Air fuel synthesis (AFS), a company located at Stockton-on-Tees in the northeast of England, has shown that it is possible to generate petrol from thin air.

It is important to understand the mechanical properties of biomaterials to be able to know the reciprocal relationship between function and properties. The mechanical properties of biomaterial will usually affect the functioning of the tissue and vice versa.
Power grids, energy resources, and environment are facing a variety of challenges due to the growing demand for power worldwide.
In China, the demand for refined fuels is growing by 8% CAGR. In fact, higher quality standards, which are scheduled to begin in 2019, will almost double the demands for hydrogen by 2025.
With support from the Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Proton OnSite’s latest hydrogen refueling station was officially opened in the metro Washington area.
Renewable hydrogen is an important tool in the transition from fossil fuel use to sustainable solutions that reduce the production of carbon dioxide.
