Researchers argue that the optimal use of biomass as a renewable resource is for production of select chemicals, not power, heat or fuels

Green Car Congress

Biomass differs from the other renewable resources, they note, since the energy it contains is stored as chemical bonds. The chemical characteristics of biomass and many bulk chemicals are also very similar, so the processes should be more economical than those for the conversion into fuels. —Esben Taarning.

Stanford/DTU team devises new effective solid-oxide electrochemical cell for CO2 electrolysis

Green Car Congress

Researchers from Stanford University and the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) have engineered and demonstrated a solid-oxide electrochemical cell (SOC) with a porous ceria electrode that achieves stable and selective CO 2 electrolysis beyond the thermodynamic carbon deposition threshold. A paper on the work is published in Nature Energy.
