Making Natural Gas From CO2 and Hydrogen

October 14, 2021 | Leave a Comment

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory researchers can make methane from captured CO2 and renewably sourced hydrogen. The method converts captured carbon dioxide (CO2) into methane, the primary component of natural gas. The process offers recycling CO2 back into natural gas and a good way to store renewable energy sourced hydrogen. It would mean a short planetary […]

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Researchers at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie (HZB) are asking why some catalysts increase their performance when used. As a general rule, most catalyst materials deteriorate during repeated catalytic cycles – they age. One example increasing its performance is the mineral erythrite, a mineral compound comprising cobalt and arsenic oxides. Erythrite lends […]

Using Radiation To Recycle Organic Waste Into Biofuel

September 29, 2021 | 1 Comment

Engineers at Lancaster University have led research that discovered a way to generate renewable biofuel additives, using radiation that could be derived from nuclear waste. The renewable proportion of petroleum fuels is set to increase to 20 percent over the coming years, meaning the discovery of a new production pathway for such additives/biofuels could help […]

3D Metal Printing An Extreme Efficiency Heat Exchanger

September 23, 2021 | 1 Comment

University of Illinois Grainger College of Engineering researchers are demonstrating next-generation energy technology using topology optimization and metal 3D printing to design ultra-compact, high-power heat exchangers (Most are commonly called radiators). Used in most major industries – including energy, water, manufacturing, transportation, construction, electronic, chemical, petrochemical, agriculture and aerospace – heat exchangers transfer thermal energy […]
