Using a new kind of hydrogel material, researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have pulled water out of thin air at temperatures low enough to be achieved with sunlight. Atmospheric water harvesting draws water from humidity in the air. The UT Austin technique is aimed at the latter.

Rice’s Baker Institute for Public Policy has initiated a working group to develop a United States protocol for paying ranchers and farmers to store carbon in their soil. Robin Rather, CEO of Austin-based Collective Strength, is the group’s facilitator. Baker III and Susan G. —Kenneth Medlock. —Jim Blackburn.

Example of a lithium-water rechargeable battery. Researchers at the University of Texas, including Dr. John Goodenough, are proposing a strategy for high-capacity next-generation alkali (lithium or sodium)-ion batteries using water-soluble redox couples as the cathode. In theory, the decomposition potential of water is 4.27

First, an electric potential will be applied to water to simultaneously produce acidity and alkalinity. The University of Texas at Austin. million tonnes of CO 2 per year will be sequestered in mine tailings that are permanently and safely stored with a decrease of 100 kg of CO 2 equivalent per tonne of ore processed.

Between five and ten percent of the water injected in these systems is lost as it travels through the pore spaces. As this happens, more water must be added, perhaps from municipal sources that have little to spare. Their work has shown that supercritical CO 2 is better than water at mining heat from the subsurface.

The new model calculates the amount of free hydrogen gas produced and stored beneath the seafloor based on a range of parameters—including the ratio of a site’s tectonic spreading rate to the thickness of serpentinized rocks that might be found there.
