A new catalyst made from an inexpensive, abundant metal and common table sugar has the power to remake carbon dioxide (CO2) gas into carbon monoxide (CO). In a just released Northwestern University study, the new catalyst successfully converted CO2 into CO, an important building block to produce a variety of useful chemicals. When the reaction […]

Biomanufacturing Using Sugar From Chemicals Now Possible
February 21, 2024 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Osaka University researchers succeeded in biomanufacturing a sugar product using chemically synthesized sugar for the first time. With refinement of this technology, one can envision a future society in which the sugar required for biomanufacturing can be obtained ‘anytime, anywhere, and at high rate’. In the future, biomanufacturing using chemically synthesized sugar is expected […]

Risks Reviewed For Fueling Marine Shipping With Ammonia
February 8, 2024 | Leave a Comment
Chalmers University of Technology researchers show in a study where the researchers carried out life cycle analyses for batteries and for three electrofuels including ammonia. The report has been published in Applied Energy. Switching to ammonia as a marine fuel, with the goal of decarbonization, can instead create entirely new problems. Eutrophication and acidification are […]

Ammonia Suggested to Replace 60% of Ocean Shipping Fuel
January 11, 2024 | Leave a Comment
Researchers at the University of Oxford have found that green ammonia could be used to fulfill the fuel demands of over 60% of global shipping by targeting just the top 10 regional fuel ports. That suggests that the fuel could be a viable option to help decarbonize international shipping by 2050. The study report has […]
