They recycled the catalyst over five runs without significant loss of activity (turnover number > 2000). The researchers bubbled air through an aqueous solution of pentaethylenehexamine (or PEHA), adding a catalyst to encourage hydrogen to latch onto the CO 2 under pressure.

In February 2008, Chevron Corporation and Weyerhaeuser Company created a 50-50 joint venture company— Catchlight Energy LLC — focused on developing the next generation of renewable transportation fuels from nonfood sources. Chevron says tests have shown that this produced water does not inhibit the lignin conversion. Earlier post.)

Western Hydrogen Limited reported first production of hydrogen from its Molten Salt Gasification (MSG) pilot plant in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta. The technology allows the production of high-pressure hydrogen without the need for compression and can use a variety of feedstocks, including renewables.

Chemists at Brown University have synthesized novel core and shell palladium/iron-platinum (Pd/FePt) nanoparticles that use far less platinum yet perform more efficiently and last longer than commercially available pure-platinum catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in hydrogen fuel cells.

After that, a pre-industrial demonstration plant in the megawatt range, i.e. with a production capacity of 1500 to 2000 liters per day, will be designed. In the second step, the electrolytic splitting of carbon dioxide and water vapor takes place simultaneously. That plant may theoretically reach efficiencies of about 60%—i.e.,

Algae has other advantages over traditional biofuels because it can grow in salt water and thrive in harsh environmental conditions, therefore limiting stress on food and fresh water supplies. Since 2000, ExxonMobil has spent about $8 billion to develop and deploy lower-emission energy solutions across its operations.

High-temperature solid-oxide fuel cells and solid-oxide electrolysis cells have potential over the intermediate term to double energy efficiency from fossil fuels and reduce greenhouse gas emissions as well as over the long-term to enable the shift to renewable energy sources such as solar and wind. Reversible fuel-electrolysis cells.

Volt like hybrids are the intermediate future between hydrogen or fast charging electric cars. If our country is going to spend money like a drunk sailor we should have spent it on building renewable energy power plants like Wind and Geothermal. So I think its a safe bet for GM. assuming electric cars actually have a future.

An overwhelming majority (82% favor, 16% oppose) say automakers should be required to improve fuel efficiency, and support is nearly as high (79% favor, 18% oppose) for increasing federal funding to develop wind, solar, and hydrogen energy technology. But 18% name water supply and drought as most important issue, up 13 points from last year.
