The first demonstration of a method for producing renewable hydrogen from wastewater using microbial electrolysis system is underway in the Napa Wine Company in Oakville. The refrigerator-sized hydrogen generator winery wastewater and the use of bacteria and a small amount of electrical energy, converting organic matter into hydrogen, according to a Penn State engineer the [...]

The conversion of waste landfills filling the world with biofuels may be the answer to both the growing energy crisis and to address carbon emissions, say scientists in Singapore and Switzerland. A new study published in Global Change Biology: Bioenergy, reveals how to replace petrol with biofuels processed from waste could reduce global carbon emissions [...]

A spoonful of sugar helps the herbicides are broken down into a more pleasing shape.
Researchers from Brigham Young University have developed a fuel cell - essentially a battery with a tank of gas - that harvests electricity from glucose and other sugars known as carbohydrates.

U.S. chief Jon Wellinghoff network is promoting energy saving long term costs for electric cars, saying that the vehicles could earn $ 1,500 a year paybacks for their owners when their batteries are connected to the mains.
While electric cars provided to the U.S. market in the coming years are likely to carry heavier price tags [...]

Argonne National Laboratory has been involved in research and development of the battery for more than 40 years. More than 10 years ago, the research center made the strategic decision to expand its investigation of lithium-ion batteries, with emphasis on application development for electric cars.
That decision, and subsequent investments for research by the U.S. Department [...]
