New Reactor Turns CO2 Into a Precursor of Fuels
September 10, 2019 | 1 Comment
Rice University researchers have built a electrocatalysis reactor that recycles carbon dioxide to produce pure liquid fuel solutions using electricity. The scientists behind the invention hope it will become an efficient and profitable way to recycle and reuse CO2. The CO2 could be repurposed in an efficient and environmentally friendly way with the new electrolyzer […]

ETH Zurich researchers have developed a novel technology that produces liquid hydrocarbon fuels exclusively from sunlight and air. For the first time worldwide they demonstrate the entire thermochemical process chain under real field conditions. The new solar mini-refinery is located on the roof of ETH’s Machine Laboratory building in Zurich, Switzerland. Carbon-neutral fuels are crucial […]

New Cleaner Safer Energetic Rocket Fuel
April 10, 2019 | Leave a Comment
McGill University research shows that it may be possible to create rocket fuel that is much cleaner and safer than the hypergolic fuels that are commonly used today. And still just as effective. The new fuels use simple chemical ‘triggers’ to unlock the energy of one of the hottest new materials, a class of porous […]
