Cornell helps EDF and NDDB to cut methane output

Cornell will assist the Environmental Defense Fund and the National Dairy Development Board of India – the world’s largest dairy producing country – in a project to help its smallholder farmers reduce methane output and produce milk efficiently. India is home to 300 million cattle and milk-producing buffaloes, and 85 million smallholder dairy farmers. In

Consortium for hydrogen development in the US gets strengthened

Cornell and two Cornell research-startups have joined a consortium that aims to propose a Northeast research hub to make hydrogen a viable, clean-energy alternative to carbon-based fuels. The New York-led multistate collaboration is guided by Gov. Kathy Hochul and organized by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). With approximately $9.6 billion

New catalysts steer hydrogen fuel cells into mainstream

Cornell chemists have discovered a class of nonprecious metal derivatives that can catalyze fuel cell reactions about as well as platinum, at a fraction of the cost. This finding brings closer a future where hydrogen fuel cells efficiently power cars, generators and even spacecraft with minimal greenhouse gas emissions. “These less expensive metals will enable
