Honda to commercialize algae-growing technology

Honda Motor Co. is considering the commercialization of its algae-growing technology, which can be used to absorb carbon and create biofuels, plastics and other products, the Nikkei newspaper has reported. The carmaker will test mass production of the organic material this fall and build a new facility of about 1,000 square meters (10,760 square feet),

The simple technology that will bring an end to fossil fuels

The world is turning its back on fossil fuels to save the planet and, in recent times, to hurt Putin and his horrific plans. But, there is a massive problem. Renewable energy, like solar and wind are erratic, and the mega batteries we use to overcome this issue are costly and massively impact the environment.

Wild castor oil can be converted into biodiesel

The seeds of the wild castor oil plant, Ricinus communis, can be converted into biodiesel according to a new study in the International Journal of Oil, Gas and Coal Technology. The Mexican research team shows how the requisite transesterification reaction of oil from the seeds using methanol in the presence of sodium hydroxide as a

Scientists develop an energy-efficient method for hydrogen production with less carbon footprint

Hydrogen can store and deliver usable energy, but it doesn’t typically exist by itself in nature and must be produced from compounds that contain it. And on Similar lines, Scientists at the International Advanced Research Centre for Powder Metallurgy & New Materials (ARCI) have developed an energy-efficient method for hydrogen production with less carbon footprint.

IIT Madras team employs AI tools to study biomass-biofuel conversion

As carbon-intensive petroleum-derived fuels pose serious climate risks to the planet, turning to biomass to derive fuel makes sense but not in the conventional sense of directly burning wood, cow dung cakes, and coal, but as a source of energy-dense fuel. Now a team of researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras is

A new internal combustion engine produces nearly zero harmful emissions

The world is increasingly turning away from the use of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, but some companies aim to repurpose the tried and true technology to allow it to live in harmony alongside climate change requisites. One example comes from Astron Aerospace, which unveiled the Omega 1, an engine designed to give internal combustion

A new carbon capture method turns co2 into solid carbon ‘in an instant’

A new decarbonisation technology developed by RMIT University researchers in Australia instantaneously turns CO2 into solid carbon, a press statement reveals. The team claims their method is commercially viable and that it could soon be deployed in aid of global efforts to reduce the ongoing effects of the climate crisis. A ‘radically more efficient’ method

Scientists devise a cheaper way for producing green hydrogen

As the race is on for ample clean energy sources to mitigate climate change, hydrogen is being seen as a promising source of renewable energy. Green hydrogen emits no carbon, but there is a downside: its production remains complex and costly. Scientists worldwide are working on more efficient and affordable ways of producing no-carbon hydrogen

Tidal Transit reduced fuel usage and emissions with catalytic hydrogen technology

Tidal Transit’s offshore wind energy crew transfer vessel Kitty Petra was fitted with the Ecomotus EcoPro catalytic hydrogen system in 2020, and Commercial Director Leo Hambro believes that the reductions in vessel fuel consumption and CO2 and NOx emissions clearly demonstrate that the system should be widely adopted by the offshore energy marine sector, saying:

Rolls-Royce is building the world’s largest airliner engine, the Trent Ultrafan

Buried deep inside the Rolls-Royce plant at Filton in Bristol is a bare brick room where the Olympus engines that powered Concorde and the Pegasus fans for the Harrier jump jet were put through their paces. Now it is testing a generator the size of a washing machine drum designed to burn green fuels and
