Biogas Climate Benefit Greater Than Previously Thought?
Image via Wikipedia
Biogas from refuse produces 95 per cent less greenhouse gas emissions than gasoline,
according to a new research report. With a few simple improvements to the biogas plants, the figure can rise to 120 per cent — i.e. biogas becomes more than climate neutral. This can be compared with the [...]

The seat of power
WHERE there’s muck, there’s brass—or so the old saying has it. The cynical may suggest this refers to the question of who gets what, but thoughtful readers may be forgiven for wondering, while they are recovering from the excesses of Christmas in the smallest room in the house, what exactly [...]
Energy-Saving Powder May Allow Exploitation of Unused Reserves of Natural Gas
Image via Wikipedia
It is currently estimated that natural gas resources will be exhausted in 130 years; however, those reserves where extraction is cost-effective will only flow for another 60 years or so. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Coal Research and at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces might be helping to [...]
Environmentally-friendly Energy: Sunlight Turns Carbon Dioxide To Methane
Image via Wikipedia
Dual catalysts may be the key to efficiently turning carbon dioxide and water vapor into methane and other hydrocarbons using titania nanotubes and solar power, according to Penn State researchers.
Burning fossil fuels like oil, gas and coal release large amounts of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere. Rather than contribute to [...]
