An efficient and low-cost technique to generate electricity has been developed by researchers at the University of Surrey. According to the researchers, a by-product obtained during the manufacture of biofuels can be used to power microbial fuel cells. The latest study may help design self-powered tools. The work was presented at the Autumn Conference of Society for General Microbiology.
The native prairie and wetland plants in the U.S. have been recently test burned following three years of planning. This test assesses their potential for power production.
The U.S. Department of Energy has awarded $700,000 to Southwest Research Institute and industry partner, Thar Energy, for the demonstration of an innovative supercritical carbon dioxide power cycle utilizing a process called oxy-combustion that utilizes pure oxygen as the primary oxidant in place of air.
Tube Specialties Company (TSCO), a well-established subcontract producer of large-diameter tubular parts to the US heavy truck industry, is currently installing five of Unison’s advanced CNC tube bending machines. The machines provide precision servomotors-based all-electric bending potential, effective for designing a wide variety of tubular parts within the automotive sector.
Researchers at the University of Alberta, Canada, working as part of a major Canadian initiative to investigate the aquatic and environmental aspects of nanoparticles, are using the Zetasizer Nano from Malvern Panalytical to characterize nanoparticle behavior in biological and aqueous matrices.
Eco-Energy, an integrated biofuel supply chain firm, has collaborated with NuStar Terminals Operations Partnership for the joint development of an ethanol unit train and storage facility to provide services for the Northern, VA and Washington, DC regions.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has selected the Unity Power Alliance (UPA), a joint venture between ITEA and ThermoEnergy, for a grant to further develop the company’s patented pressurized oxy-combustion technology to generate clean electric power using coal.
Panasonic has devised an artificial photosynthesis system that enables carbon dioxide conversion into organic materials through illumination with sunlight at an unprecedented efficiency of 0.2%, which is equal to that of real plants utilized for biomass energy.
Air Liquide has inked a long-term deal with Zhejiang Huafon Spandex (Huafon) for hydrogen supply to Huafon’s cyclohexanone project with a 120,000-ton annual production capacity in Liaoyang Aromatics and Fine Chemical Park, Liaoyang city, Liaoning province, China. Cyclohexanone is a critical material used in the production of nylon.
Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have created a new type of transparent polymer solar cells (PSC) that are capable of generating electricity. These cells can be fixed onto windows. The novel technology allows people within the buildings to see outside as they are visibly transparent.
