Stanford University has built a new battery made from affordable and durable materials that generates energy from places where salt and fresh waters merge together. The technology could make coastal wastewater treatment plants energy-independent and carbon neutral. Salt has power potential. It might sound like alchemy, but the energy in places where salty ocean water […]

Dr. Daniel Puyol of King Juan Carlos University (KJCU), Spain said, “One of the most important problems of current wastewater treatment plants is high carbon emissions. Our light-based biorefinery process could provide a means to harvest green energy from wastewater, with zero carbon footprint.” Purple phototrophic bacteria which can store energy from light, when supplied […]
