Maize and other annual crops are easier to manage with traditional farming, but they are tougher on the environment. The researchers conducted ecosystem-scale comparisons of carbon, nitrogen, water, and energy fluxes of Sorghum bicolor with maize and Miscanthus x. Energy sorghum falls somewhere in between.

Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a new polymer-curing process that could reduce the cost, time and energy needed, compared with the current manufacturing process. There is plenty of energy stored in the resin’s chemical bonds to fuel the process. —Nancy Sottos.

Javad Rafiee, a doctoral student in the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace, and Nuclear Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, has developed a new graphene material for storing hydrogen at room temperature. Graphene has one of the highest surface area-per-unit masses in nature, far superior to even carbon nanotubes and fullerenes.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has selected 19 projects to enhance the capability to simulate, track, and evaluate the potential risks of carbon dioxide storage in geologic formations. Researchers will develop systems for tagging CO 2 with carbon-14 at atmospheric level (1 part per trillion) and measuring the carbon-14 CO 2 levels.

EOR, which involves using carbon dioxide, other gas, steam or chemical injection to release “stranded” or hard-to-recover oil, is currently providing about 13% of total US production. Current methods such as microseismic monitoring are valuable, but they can be expensive and are not applicable in some environments.
