Carbozyme Mimicking Blood's CO2 Capturing Process for Industrial Use
Carbozyme, a NJ-based company is trying to mimic a phenomenon that happens when you breathe: capturing CO2 via a naturally occurring blood enzyme. Our body captures about two pounds of carbon dioxide per day - scaled-up industrial systems could do a lot more if put up properly.
Korean Scientists Find Quick and Easy Way to Produce Bio-Plastics
Petroleum stands at the base of every plastic we usually find on today's market. Polymers are everywhere, and if petroleum resources are about to go scarce with time, it's a good idea to replace it with other renewable and biodegradable material that we could use just as well as we use petroleum today.
Indian Students Develop Bio-Cell to Clean Sewage Water and Generate Electricity
A group of students at the Indian Institute of Technology in Kharagpur have developed a bio cell(battery) that can be used to treat sewage water and generate electric energy, being a perfect solution to combat the water and energy crisis.
Lightnings Found to Produce 10% of Atmospheric NOx Greenhouse Gas
Every year, scientists learn something new about the power of lightning. With the helps of the satellites they have created a lightning map for the globe, which shows that Rwanda has the most flashes per square kilometer, while the flashes at the polar regions occur rarely. Every year, 1,2 million flashes occur around the world.
Cereplast's Algae-Based Bioplastics Reduce Petroleum Use by 50%
Cereplast has already developed some new technologies before, being able to make plastic from renewable materials such as corn starch, tapioca, wheat and potatoes.
The Best Way to Generate Electricity from Pig Poop
Hog farms, where thousands of animals are raised, look really horrible and they pollute rivers, poison groundwater supplies and releaseclouds of methane and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Study Finds Solution for Methane-Producing Cow Burps
Earlier this year, it has almost been said that cow burps are the root of all evil regarding global warming, the emissions of methane gases and, overall, an enemy of our humble existence on this planet. Well, recent "discoveries" reveal the fact that a well-managed cow could actually help reduce methane emissions.
Hydrogen On-Demand System Boosts Van Mileage by 94%
This man (a retired school teacher) says he applied what many others on the internet describe as "on-board hydrogen generation", with a couple of jars, some electrodes and potassium hydroxide.
Reducing Coal CO2 Emissions with Chilled-Ammonia Technology
The coal based power plant located in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin in Kenosha County called Pleasant Prairie Power Plant has generated approximately 1,226 MW of electricity in 2006, being one of the largest generating stations in Wisconsin.
Cheap Nanotube Sensors to Detect Toxins in Water
A research team at Stanford has developed a new inexpensive sensor chip made with carbon nanotubes, being capable to detect rapid traces of TNT and poison in rivers, reservoirs.
