Research Says Biomass Pretreatment Makes Biofuel Practical

February 29, 2024 | 1 Comment

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… A new University of California – Riverside (UCR) study found that introducing a simple, renewable chemical to the pretreatment step can finally make next-generation biofuel production both cost-effective and carbon neutral. The first step, breaking down the plant matter has always been the hardest when it comes to making fuel from plants. For biofuels […]

New Efficient Process Recycles CO2 Back Into Fuel

December 6, 2023 | Leave a Comment

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers developed an efficient process that can convert carbon dioxide into formate. Formate is a nonflammable liquid or solid material that can be used like hydrogen or methanol to power a fuel cell and generate electricity. The describing paper has been published in the journal Cell Press Physical Sciences. The […]

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 […]
