ETH Zurich: carbon-neutral fuel made from sunlight and air

Green Car Congress

Their new solar mini-refinery is located on the roof of ETH’s Machine Laboratory building in Zurich. CO 2 and water are extracted directly from ambient air via an adsorption/desorption process. Both are then fed into the solar reactor at the focus of a parabolic reflector. —Aldo Steinfeld.

Study Finds Unexpected Decadal Decline in Global Evapotranspiration, Links It to Moisture Limitation in Southern Hemisphere

Green Car Congress

The soils in large areas of the Southern Hemisphere, including major portions of Australia, Africa and South America, have been drying up in the past decade, according to the first major study of evapotranspiration on a global basis. This is the first time we’ve ever been able to compile observations such as this for a global analysis.

A Roomba for Rivers

Cars That Think

Humankind is enamored with water. The machine, which can run autonomously or at the direction of a remote operator, goes around collecting the junk and gunk (like plastic bottles, oil spills, and algae) that float on the water, as well as detritus located up to 10 meters below the surface.
