Researchers Say Hydrogen Can Compete With Gasoline & Diesel
November 22, 2023 | 1 Comment
University of Houston energy researchers suggest hydrogen fuel can potentially be a cost-competitive and environmentally friendly alternative to gasoline and diesel, and that supplying hydrogen for transportation in the greater Houston area can be profitable today. The research team is offering a white paper titled “Competitive Pricing of Hydrogen as an Economic Alternative to Gasoline […]

Copper Catalysts Make Carbon Dioxide To Methane Conversion
October 31, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Rice University materials scientists developed copper-based catalysts to help speed up the rate of carbon dioxide-to-methane conversion. Technologies for removing carbon from the atmosphere keep improving, but solutions for what to do with the carbon once it’s captured are harder to come by. The lab of Rice University materials scientist Pulickel Ajayan and collaborators developed […]

Thermochemical Hydrogen Idea Harnesses Solar To Split Water
October 17, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Massachusetts Institute of Technology engineers have designed a system that can efficiently produce ‘solar thermochemical hydrogen.’ It harnesses the sun’s heat to split water and generate hydrogen – a clean fuel that emits no greenhouse gas emissions. In a study appearing in Solar Energy Journal, the engineers lay out the conceptual design for a system […]

Save That Plastic Research Finds How To Get Hydrogen From It
October 11, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Rice University researchers have found a way to harvest hydrogen from plastic waste using a low-emissions method that generates graphene as a by-product, which could help offset production costs. Hydrogen is viewed as a promising alternative to fossil fuel, but the methods used to make it either generate too much carbon dioxide or are […]

New Higher Efficiency Discovered For Fischer Tropsch Process
October 10, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Washington State University researchers discovered previously unknown self-sustained oscillations in the Fischer Tropsch process. They found that unlike many catalytic reactions which have one steady state, this reaction periodically moves back and forth from a high to a low activity state The fundamental discovery about the Fischer Tropsch process, a catalytic reaction used in industry […]
