In the meantime that battery EV’s are less prioritized by automakers, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles may get ahead from them as the next big thing in alternative fuels. Toyota and Honda have announced their plans on mass market of...
The Department of Energy has awarded $6.1 million to four biofuel-related energy technology projects, not least of which include engineered bioenergy crops and a molecular sieve for biofuel production.
The DOE’s Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA-E) awarded funding to 66...
ARPA-E is allocating $130 million for 66 grants that will help innovative projects bring changes in energy storage. The largest grant was given to a company called PolyPlus Battery Company. Besides this the company also received $9 million from...
In an effort to replace fossil fuels, a team of researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, University of Massachusetts-Amherst, and Gwangiu Institute of Science and Technology has discovered a way to reverse the process of splitting fuel compounds to...
Nearly every vehicle on the road today has an internal combustion engine, and due to their inefficiency at converting fuel to motion, they give off a lot of waste heat. To keep the engines from overheating, a liquid cooling...
The future of geothermal energy in Australia is looking bleak. Despite the fact government data speculates that using only 1% of hot rocks can generate power for Australia for 26,000 years, major companies are retracting their support.
Since they have...
A robot that cleans human waste from wastewater was invented by a team of researchers from Wessex Water and the Bristol Robotics Laboratory in England. The robot called EcoBot III contains microbial fuel cells and uses biomass to produce...
Creating a transportable renewable hybrid system that can provide electricity for a 2-weeks marine mission is being developed by the Renewable Sustainable Expeditionary Power (RSEP) program.
RESP is a collaboration between ONR's Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare and Combating Terrorism and Sea...
Qatar is currently the world's biggest greenhouse gas emitter per capita. Aiming to change some of that, a research company in Qatar just unveiled a slightly different take on hybrid vehicles, combining multiple technologies.
“Designed and developed in Qatar, the...
73 researchers from 27 institutions, including the U.S. Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute (DOE JGI), collaborated to sequence and analyze the genomes and transcriptomes (the expressed genes) of two minute algae.
The ultimate goal was to understand secondary endosymbiosis,...
