Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy¡¦s Brookhaven National Laboratory have unveiled important details about a class of catalysts that could help improve the performance of fuel cells. With the goal of producing ¡§clean¡¨ hydrogen for fuel cell reactions in mind, the researchers determined why two next-generation catalysts including gold, cerium, titanium, and oxygen nanomaterials exhibit very high activity. Their results will be published online in the December 14, 2007, edition of the journal Science.
An international team that includes University of Calgary scientists has shown how crude oil in oil deposits around the world - including in Alberta’s oil sands - are naturally broken down by microbes in the reservoir.
Two core technologies developed at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory - a fuel desulfurization system and a fuel reforming system - were instrumental in the demonstration of an electric power system operating on JP-8, a fuel commonly used in military operations.
The Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC) at the University of North Dakota was awarded $2.9 million for three renewable energy projects from the Xcel Energy Renewable Development Fund.
Elsevier, the world-leading publisher of scientific, technical and medical information products and services is pleased to announce that it will hold the Fuel Cells Science & Technology 2008 event on 8-9 October 2008. Following the success of the previous three events, the fourth event in the series will be held at the Confederation of Danish Industries, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Acumentrics Corporation's Canadian subsidiary, Acumentrics Canada Ltd., is partnering with Natural Resources Canada's CANMET Energy Technology Centre to investigate the use of ammonia as a fuel for Acumentrics' solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs).
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.
Research on hydrogen-fueled cars may be one step closer to application thanks to a new form of hydride discovered by scientists at the ESRF.
Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc. has announced its support of the student teams participating in Challenge X: Crossover to Sustainable Mobility.
The price of oil nearly reached $100 a barrel recently, but a new University of Delaware prototype vehicle demonstrates how the cost of the black stuff could become a concern of the past.
