Carbon Neutral Methane Obtained Cheaply From CO2 and Water
We all know most of world's greatest inventions have been made by mistake. A team of researchers from the Penn State, led by Bruce E.Logan, Kappe Professor of Environmental Engineering, discovered how to produce methane from water and carbon dioxide. Here's what he says: "We were studying making hydrogen in microbial electrolysis cells and we kept getting all this methane. We may now understand why."
Linde`s Ionic Hydrogen Compressor Offering Better Fueling Stations
In this new era of alternative fuels, oil companies can't just stand there and watch electricity and hydrogen take the place of their classic beloved petrol consuming machines. The best strategy they found is the most common-sensed one: get involved little by little in the business, adapt to the market's needs, and perhaps change your image to the public from black oil to green leaves.
Kia Offers Start-Stop Hybridization System for Free
Kia provides ECO cee'd with ISG system at the same price as the cee'd without ISG. ISG system reduces CO2 emissions and as well fuel consumption. For the city drive fuel consumption is reduced up to 15%.
Gas Hydrates ("Burning Ice") Offer Clean Heating Solution
There is enough material underground to heat 100 million homes for a decade. With this amazing source of energy (the gas hydrates) researchers could develop systems that can provide green and cheap energy for all.
Atlantic City Convention Center Installed 2.4 MW Solar Powered Rooftop
13,400 modules, manufactured by the Chinese company Trina Solar, provide 2,4 MW at peak capacity, equivalent to the needs of 280 American houses. The energy generated will reduce the building's electricity bills with 25% and in it's lifetime of 20 years the solar panels will save about $4.4 million.
Nano-Abrasive Material Makes Self-Cleaning Solar Cells
Scientists from GIT (Georgia Institute of Technology) have invented a new solar cell surface treatment that could be applied to existing solar cells technology, and that could boost the light absorption into the cell. It also has self-cleaning capabilities.
Toyota Preparing to Launch a Cheap Hybrid Vehicle
Toyota has announced that plans to develop a cheaper hybrid vehicle, a competitor for the Insight model which just entered the U.S. market. Toyota officials have revealed that their hybrid will be developed on the current Yaris platform.
Dutch e-Traction Hybrid Bus Has In-Wheel Electric Motors
The diesel charges a battery, and the battery propels the bus for as long as fuel exists in the tank. A dutch company, called e-Traction has developed a new type of hybrid bus. It has the same working principle, but the difference is that the electric motors are embedded in the wheels.
Green Device Detects When Your TV is on Standby and Shuts It
This is for those who often leave their TV sets and other electronics on standby, instead of shutting them down or putting them hibernate. I shamefully count myself among these guys from time to time, but I'm trying to recover.
Greenhouse Gas 4,800x More Potent Than CO2 Thought Safe
In the late 1980s, during the Montreal Protocol that set rules for the chlorofluorocarbon emissions, methyl bromide was about to become a target, to reduce it for saving the ozone layer. So, from a poplar compound used in agriculture, it became an "outlaw".
