Long-abandoned bacterial fermentation process resurrected to feed catalysis into fuel mixture A long-abandoned fermentation process once used to turn starch into explosives can be used to produce renewable diesel fuel to replace the fossil fuels

The Navy could save approximately 300 to 400 million dollars a year With its strong dependence on gas-turbine engines for propulsion, the U.S. Navy is always looking for ways to improve the fuel consumption of

Once producing biofuel from algae is economical, researchers estimate that an area the size of New Mexico could provide enough oil to match current U.S. petroleum consumption It looks like Mother Nature was wasting her

It may seem as though the German plains are all but tapped out when it comes to wind energy production. To refute this theory researchers are sending stunt kites into the skies to harness the

That was only about a third of its theoretical capacity, but three times better than current batteries Researchers at Rice University have refined silicon-based lithium-ion technology by literally crushing their previous work to make a

Researchers have developed a solar cell made entirely of carbon, an inexpensive substitute for the pricey materials used in conventional solar panels. Stanford University scientists have built the first solar cell made entirely of carbon,

The Newberry EGS demonstration is the largest project funded to date by the DOE Geothermal Technologies Program.H aving successfully negotiated the challenging regulatory slopes of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Forest Service,

Ontario, Canada has carved out a niche for itself as a hub of green technology. One of the latest clean tech innovations to come out of that province is DARWIND5, a vertical axis wind turbine

Will people embrace the futuristic design enough to make the startup a success? The Lit C-1 doesn’t look like any car you’ve ever seen, but it still can go 120 miles per hour and gets

Compressed air into high voltage electricity The Gujarat Energy Research and Management Institute (GERMI) has developed an instrument to convert compressed air into high voltage electricity. The instrument developed by a second year mechanical engineering

Photovoltaic panels can be well worth the investment even if you live in a winter wonderland. Snow and solar cells aren’t mutually exclusive, according to a Michigan Technological University scientist. True, a layer of snow

The X2 will be available for partner tests in 2013 The internal combustion engine (ICE) has had a remarkably successful century and a half. Unfortunately, it’s notoriously inefficient, wasting anywhere from 30 to 99 percent
