A paper by a team from the University of Chicago and MIT suggests that technology-driven cost reductions in fossil fuels will lead to the continued use of fossil fuels—oil, gas, and coal—unless governments pass new taxes on carbon emissions. Their analysis is published in the Journal of Economic Perspectives.

The new MIT proces converts furfural into GVL via a series of cascading (domino-like) reactions catalyzed by zeolites with Lewis and Brønsted acid sites. The new MIT production method, described in the June 11 issue of the journal Angewandte Chemie , eliminates both of those obstacles. Credit: Bui et al. Click to enlarge.

2013 Click to enlarge. A team of researchers at MIT has described a framework for efficiently coupling the power output of a series-connected string of single-band-gap solar cells to an electrochemical process that produces storable fuels. The original demonstration leaf in 2011 had low efficiencies, converting less than 4.7%
