Similar to a well-maintained greenhouse garden, a specialized type of hydrogen fuel cell – which shows potential as a clean, renewable next-generation power source for vehicles and other applications – requires precise moisture and temperature controls to work well.
A new National Science Foundation (NSF) grant has been offered to Arizona State University and Kevin Redding, professor in the School of Molecular Sciences and director of the Center for Bioenergy and Photosynthesis (CB&P), for a study on altering the generation and consumption of energy in a nation.
Airplanes zoom overhead with wispy-white contrails that stream behind them. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) controlled 43,684 flights, on average, daily in 2016, and U.S. commercial and military flights together used more than 20 billion gallons of jet fuel.
Electrolysis, a process by which electricity is used to split the water molecule, is the cleanest way to get hydrogen, a clean and renewable fuel. Currently, researchers at ICIQ and URV, headed by Prof. José Ramón Galán-Mascarós, designed a new catalyst that lowers the cost of electrolytic hydrogen production.
HyperSolar, the developer of an innovative technology to create renewable hydrogen using sunlight and any source of water, recently announced it has successfully developed a vital component made of earth-abundant material which will lower the overall cost of its process to produce renewable hydrogen.
It has been known for long in the scientific community that cerium is the best element to employ when splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen — a key method in developing hydrogen gas for fuel. However so far it is not clear as to why cerium is so successful.
Methane gas, an abundant natural resource, is frequently disposed of through burning, but new research by researchers at MIT could make it easier to trap this gas for use as a chemical feedstock or fuel.
It is well known that solar power and wind power are the most sought-after renewable energy sources. However, they have not been extensively connected to the U.S. grid due to intermittency issues. That is, they mandate the use of energy-storage systems that, at the least, run nearly $100 per kilowatt hour and can be operated in only specific locations.
In all plants, ranging from trees to crops, there is a substance that makes up its stems or wood or, cell walls, and fiber. This substance is referred to as a complex natural polymer known as lignin, and it is considered to be the second largest renewable carbon source on the planet following cellulose.
A team of scientists from the Universitat Jaume I de Castelló, the Institute of Chemical Technology of the Universitat Politècnica de València-CSIC, and the University of Zaragoza, coordinated by Professor José Antonio Mata of the UJI, have created and patented an innovative process for efficient production, storage and safe transportation of hydrogen for use in fuel cells via the use of chemical reagents.
