Research and Markets has announced the addition of another report, “On Solar Hydrogen and Nanotechnology”. Energy from the sun that strikes the Earth in one hour is more than the entire energy consumed by humans in one entire year.
Up till now, gas was utilized for generating electricity. Currently, entrepreneurs and researchers of a German-Austrian cooperation want to store additional electricity including solar power and wind as methane and store the same in presently existing gas storage plants.
The future of clean green solar power may well hinge on scientists being able to unravel the mysteries of photosynthesis, the process by which green plants convert sunlight into electrochemical energy.
Long hampered by high manufacturing costs and durability issues, fuel cell technology could overcome those obstacles and take a significant step towards mainstream adoption thanks to a finding by a Texas A+M University chemical engineering professor.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) by means of its Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy has funded $2.5 million for two projects of the Pennsylvania State University.
LanzaTech develops technologies to produce ethanol from carbon monoxide that is present in the low hydrogen waste gases. The technology developed by the company enables to use these gases for production of fuels and chemicals using the fermentation process.
Renewable electricity can be transformed into a substitute for natural gas. Until now, electricity was generated from gas. Now, a German-Austrian cooperation wants to go in the opposite direction. In the future, these researchers and entrepreneurs would like to store surplus electricity – such as from wind power or solar energy – as climate-neutral methane, and store it in existing gas storage facilities and the natural gas network.
Hydrogen would command a key role in future renewable energy technologies, experts agree, if a relatively cheap, efficient and carbon-neutral means of producing it can be developed. An important step towards this elusive goal has been taken by a team of researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of California, Berkeley.
The European Patent Office (EPO) and the European Commission today honoured the winners of the European Inventor Award 2010 at a gala ceremony in Madrid under the presidency of their Royal Highnesses Prince Felipe and Princess Letizia of Asturias.
Veeco Instruments Inc. (Nasdaq: VECO), the leading provider of scanning probe microscopes (SPM) to the nanoscience community, today announced the winners of the second phase of the Veeco Labs Research Grant Program, "Energy Innovation."
