A Tel Aviv University breakthrough allows, for the first time, a local production of ethanol -- and hand sanitizer -- based on plant and paper waste, using a novel lignin degradation process.
A new, more sustainable, way of delivering refrigeration and cold storage using carbon dioxide is being developed in a programme led by researchers at the University of Birmingham.
Converting carbon dioxide to methanol, a potentially renewable alternative fuel, offers an opportunity to simultaneously form an alternative fuel and cut down on carbon dioxide emissions.
A big advance in carbon capture technology could provide an efficient and inexpensive way for natural gas power plants to remove carbon dioxide from their flue emissions, a necessary step in reducing greenhouse gas emissions to slow global warming and climate change.
A joint research team from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology, led by Dr. Kyung-guen Song from the KIST Water Cycle Research Center and Dr. Won-jun Choi from the KIST Center for Opto-Electronic Materials and Devices, announced that it had used solar heat, a source of renewable energy, to develop a highly efficient membrane distillation technology that can produce drinking water from seawater or wastewater.
While awaiting full access to their labs due to COVID-19 restrictions, scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have taken this rare opportunity to report the technical details of pioneering research they conducted on the disinfection of drinking water using ultraviolet light.
The production of biodiesel from vegetable oil has been around for more than 150 years, and the approach significantly reduces several pollutants associated with burning fossil fuels.
With a grant of almost DKK 5 million from the Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Programme, EUDP, under Danish Energy Agency, work is about to begin on building a 100 sqm test facility to demonstrate new technology that stores green surplus energy in giant underground water balloons.
A research team, led by Dr. Hyung-Suk Oh and Dr. Woong Hee Lee of the Clean Energy Research Center of the Korea Institute of Science and Technology, working in cooperation with the Technische Universität Berlin, announced that they had developed a nano-sized, coral-shaped silver catalyst electrode and large-area, high-efficiency carbon dioxide conversion system, which can be used to obtain carbon monoxide.
A Korean research team has developed a key technology for the mass-production of bio-aviation fuels.
