Solar Energy Stored in Hydrogen or Hydrocarbons Could Meet Growing Energy Demand

The storage of solar energy in hydrogen or hydrocarbons through artificial photosynthesis systems is attractive due to its potential to meet the world’s increasing energy demand.

Adsorption Heat Pumps Could Help Reduce Consumption of Electricity and Fossil Fuels for Heat Production

According to a study commissioned by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE), heat production accounts for around half of Switzerland's entire energy consumption, such as for heating or numerous technical procedures, including drying, forging or melting.

Fuel Cells are Ecologically Sound only if run on Hydrogen from Renewable Energy Sources

In the future, we might be driving fuel-cell cars that burn solar-generated hydrogen. This would make the “zero emissions car” a reality. At the same time, small combined heat and power units – also based on fuel cell technology – could be placed in our cellars at home. They convert natural gas and biogas into electricity while generating heat as an added “bonus” to warm the building.

NSF Funds Green Energy Research on Controlling Methane's Carbon-Hydrogen Bonds at Moderate Temperatures

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded its most prestigious honor for young researchers to a new NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering faculty member who is trying to solve the difficult problem of controlling methane's carbon-hydrogen bonds at moderate temperatures--a problem which, if solved, could lead to greener energy, improve the manufacture of commodities, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals, and perhaps even keep future intergalactic travelers healthy.

Lignin–Hemicellulose Holds a Promising Way to Engineer Better Plants for Biofuel

Turning trees, grass, and other biomass into fuel for automobiles and airplanes is a costly and complex process. Biofuel researchers are working to change that, envisioning a future where cellulosic ethanol, an alcohol derived from plant sugars, is as common and affordable at the gas station as gasoline.

Toshiba to Lead Low-Carbon Hydrogen Supply Chain Demonstration Project for Small Communities in Hokkaido

Toshiba Corporation today announced that it will take the lead in a demonstration project in Hokkaido that will establish the viability of a locally-based supply chain to support low-carbon, hydrogen power systems for small communities. The five-year project will run from 2015 to 2019, in cooperation with the Hokkaido prefectural government and Kushiro-shi and Shiranuka-cho, and will cover the generation, storage, transportation and use of hydrogen in power and heat generation.

Researchers Produce Fuel and Chemicals from Carbon Monoxide-Rich Steel Plant Exhaust Gases

Carbon monoxide-rich exhaust gases from steel plants are only being reclaimed to a minor extent as power or heat. Fraunhofer researchers have developed a new recycling process for this materially unused carbon resource: They successfully produced fuel and specialty chemicals from these exhaust gases on a laboratory scale.

Hydrogen Storage Material, Magnesium Hydride Study Could Pave Way for Better Fuel Tanks

The dream of a cleaner, greener transportation future burns brightly in the promise of hydrogen-fueled, internal combustion engine automobiles. Modern-day versions of such vehicles run hot, finish clean and produce only pure water as a combustion byproduct.

Stanford Researchers Develop Water Splitter for Production of Clean-Burning Hydrogen Fuel

Scientists at Stanford University have developed a cheap water splitter with a single catalyst to separate hydrogen and oxygen continuously. The device could be potentially used as a renewable source of clean-burning hydrogen fuel for industrial and transportation applications.

New Energy-Harvesting Process Uses Hematite and Silicon as Solar Absorbers

The poor performance of the mineral hematite began the quest for the identification of a suitable method for mining electron-rich hydrogen to achieve clean power. Researchers from the Boston College, UC Berkeley and China's University of Science and Technology have developed a smoother form of hematite by 're-growing' the mineral's surface. The new version was found to increase the electrical yield by twofold, paving way for the energy-harvesting artificial photosynthesis. The research was published in the Nature Communications journal.
