Natural Gas Powered Fuel Cells Project Presented to US Congress
ClearEdge Power has addressed a proposal to the Congress for a new and interesting project. They found a way to obtain heat and power with fuel cells working on natural gas. The investment can be payed back after a six or seven year period as mentioned by Bill Sproull, senior vice president of the company.
Efficient Electricity Production from Onion Juice
The future life style is quite different than we could imagine right now. Many experts predict that we will not need to transport our energy around the world as it will be produced in our community.
Waste From Beer Factories Turned into Energy
Wolfgang Bengel and his partners have found a way to efficiently recycle the waste grains and wastewater and use them to fuel the beer factories.
Complex Algae-Powered Energy System Made by a 15-Year Old
This years scholarship prize of $20,000 of Invent Your World Challenge went to a 15 year old fellow from Texas called Javier Fernández-Han, who proved us all that renewable energy is the way we should direct our creativity upon.
Innovative Biogas-Powered CHP Network to be Installed in German Town
Lünen, a North Western German town is about to give an example of distributed recycled energy network, by installing a biogas plant to supply 30 to 40% of its energy needs (including heat).
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."
First Biogas Plant That Runs on Waste Biomass Feedstocks
Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems IKTS in Dresden have recently developed a biogas plant that utilizes waste materials such as corn stalks and other agricultural waste.
Ontario Region Switches Coal with Biomass
The company that produces the energy in Ontario, OPG - Ontario Power Generation started the process of finding providers for biomass fuel, by sending a "call for expression of interest" to those interested to change the coal to biogas for producing the electricity in the region.
The company is looking forward to create the list with...
New Type of Sand to Store Methane Safely and Efficiently
Hydrogen gas is the most clean-burning gas known to man. Yet methane, even if it's a sibling of petrol, got its way through the alternative fuels industry, and it is more widely used nowadays, as fuel prices oscillate between skyscrapers and small houses. Methane is also one of the cleanest burning fuels, and that makes it viable for a while. Methane reservoirs still exist all around the world, and there's plenty of it to help make a clean transition to hydrogen.
UK Researchers Use Bacteria to Generate Hydrogen from Landfills
As you already know, Earth's ecosystems are in a closed-loop. Researchers from the University of Birmingham have created a closed loop hydrogen energy eco-system based on two types of bacteria and a twist of fuel cell technology. How did they do that?
