Researchers at Cambridge developed floating artificial leaves for clean fuels

Researchers from Cambridge University have developed floating artificial leaves that generate clean fuels from sunlight and water, and are hopeful they could eventually operate on a large scale at sea. The researchers designed ultra-thin, flexible devices, which take their inspiration from photosynthesis – the process by which plants convert sunlight into food. Since the low-cost,

Demand for natural higher than its production

Natural gas demand in major consuming countries stood in June at 104 percent of year-ago levels, but production was flat compared to 2021 levels, new data from the Joint Organisations Data Initiative (JODI) showed. While US natural gas production has been rising in recent months alongside LNG exports, Russian gas production has plummeted since Russia

Solar-powered chemistry can be used to turn carbon dioxide, water into fuels  

According to an International study it is proved that solar-powered synthesis gas could reprocess carbon dioxide into fuels and useful chemicals. They have found that if we can generate syngas from carbon dioxide using solar energy, then we can use it to recycle and develop methanol and other chemicals and fuels. As a result of
