Politécnica de Valencia (Spain) have found that noble metal nanoparticles supported on titanium dioxide or cerium dioxide can catalyze the industrially important water gas shift (WGS) reaction for hydrogen production at ambient temperatures using visible light irradiation. —Sastre et al. Energy Environ. doi: 10.1039/C3EE40656C.

Resource managers now have a method to determine the source of oil found in the waters off Southern California and differentiate between naturally seeped oils and those produced by offshore oil and gas production. The state is also using this chemical protocol to determine the origin of oil on oiled wildlife.

They used a lot more coal than they originally admitted to, several hundred million tons more. Another major shift is that China has become a voracious energy importer, especially of coal and liquefied natural gas. Like the United States, China has become among the world’s largest importers of oil, gas and coal.

biomass or coal). Molten salt fuel can include natural uranium, depleted uranium, natural thorium, excess W-Pu, and SNF from conventional Light Water Reactors. Conceptual F-T production using process heat from GEM*STAR and coal as a feedstock, from a 2010 ADNA presentation. Muons, Inc. , Click to enlarge. Nifenecker, S.

Hydrogen for reverse water gas shift reaction to avoid producing CO 2 during the process is produced by electrolyzing water, driven by solar power. For comparison, they also modeled the production of methanol using only biomass as a fuel and also using coal as source of both carbon and energy. Hertwich and Zhang (2009).

Change in annual linear snow cover from 1990 to 2001. The glacial melt feeds rivers in China and throughout the Indian subcontinent and provide fresh water to more than one billion people. Black carbon alone contributes at least 30% of this sum. Menon et al. Click to enlarge. Black carbon’s effect on snow is not linear.

Between 1998 and 2001, a 400 ton-per-day plant using the SilvaGas biomass gasification technology successfully operated in Burlington, VT, producing synthesis gas (syngas) from wood-based biomass in a series of operating campaigns. Flue gas is recovered for uses such as biomass drying, steam production or direct heating. Earlier post.).
