MIT researchers innovate hydrogen fuel with seawater

Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) are pioneering a method to produce hydrogen fuel using recycled materials—specifically, aluminum from old soda cans—as well as seawater and a dash of caffeine. This innovative approach has the potential to pave the way for a more sustainable and efficient energy system, particularly for marine applications. The

MIT study warns on health risks associated with ammonia fuel

A new study led by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has warned over the health risks from shipping’s switch to using ammonia as its future fuel. Ammonia combustion generates nitrous oxide (N2O), a greenhouse gas that is about 300 times more potent than carbon dioxide, the study points out. It also emits nitrogen in

Engineers develop process to make fuel from carbon dioxide

The search is on worldwide to find ways to extract carbon dioxide from the air or from power plant exhaust and then make it into something useful. One of the more promising ideas is to make it into a stable fuel that can replace fossil fuels in some applications. But most such conversion processes have

Researchers find impacts of shutting down nuclear power plants

India recently approved the installation of 10 nuclear reactors in five states as it boosts its capability in generating clean energy. A new study estimates that if the nuclear reactors are shut, they would not only have an adverse impact on the climate and air pollution patterns, but will lead to premature deaths. Researchers at
