Scientists from Stanford University, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and the Technical University of Denmark have identified a new nickel-gallium catalyst that converts hydrogen and carbon dioxide into methanol at ambient pressure and with fewer side-products than the conventional catalyst. You want to make methanol, not carbon monoxide.

Stanford University scientists have created a new ultrahigh surface area three-dimensional porous graphitic carbon material that significantly boosts the performance of energy-storage technologies. The maximum surface area achieved with conventional activated carbon is about 3,000 m 2 g –1. cm –3 ), and hierarchical pore architecture.

The UK’s Carbon Trust recently awarded £1.95 million) to two UK fuel cell companies—ACAL Energy and ITM Power—to help deliver a step change reduction in the cost of the technology to about $35/kW. Significant additional technological breakthroughs are needed to achieve this target of a 30% cost reduction.
