Cool Planet has devised a biomass-to-liquids thermochemical conversion process that simultaneously produces liquid fuels and sequesterable biochar useful as a soil amendment. Pine chips will be the feedstock source for the Cool Planet facility, but the company can use almost any type of renewable cellulosic material. Earlier post.).

A team at Monash University (Australia) has developed an “artificial photosynthesis” system that delivers the highest efficiency reported to date—in excess of 22%—for the solar-driven conversion of water to hydrogen. A paper on the researchers’s work is published in the RSC journal Energy & Environmental Science.

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have developed an innovative hydrogen-producing photoelectrochemical cell (PEC), using solar-driven biomass conversion as the anode reaction. Examples include the reduction of water to give H 2 and the reduction of CO 2 to give carbon-based fuels such as methanol and methane.

Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have developed a method which boosts the longevity of high-efficiency photocathodes in photoelectrochemical water-splitting devices. A PEC cell absorbs sunlight and converts that energy into hydrogen and oxygen by splitting water molecules.

Uncovering the mechanism behind the reaction helps support the potential economic viability of ORNL’s own direct biofuel-to-hydrocarbon conversion approach. The addition of biomass derived ethanol to gasoline in the transportation sector is an important step in the utilization of renewable energy. market penetration is low.

A team of researchers at the US Department of Energy (DOE)’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have hit a new milestone in their development of a hybrid bioinorganic system for solar-to-chemical energy conversion. In the new system, solar energy is used to split the water molecule into molecular oxygen and hydrogen.
