Researchers from South Korea, the UK and Sweden have identified and prepared a new family of zeolites—crystalline aluminosilicates with frameworks that contain windows and cavities the size of small molecules—that can separate out carbon dioxide more effectively from fuel gases than those previously known.

Chemrec’s pulp mill-integrated BioDME (dimethyl ether) biorefinery demonstration plant project will break ground in September in Piteå, Sweden, with expected biofuel production by mid-2010. Carbon conversion and sulfate reduction in this process is near 100%. Earlier post.) EU BioDME project website.

The EU-funded three-year NELLHI project has concluded after successfully developing a new stack design of solid oxide fuel cells, from an all-European supply chain. Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) produce the highest efficiencies of any electrical generation, above combustion engines, gas turbines or other fuel cells.

It is taken for granted, and most people have no idea how it is made. The combustion of natural gas or a liquid fuel heats the mixture to about 1,050 °C, and the molten glass is then poured from a ceramic spout onto a 6-centimeter-thick layer of molten tin, at a temperature of 230 °C. Plate glass , like steel, is all around us.

The research was conducted by scientists at the Carnegie Institution’s Geophysical Laboratory, with colleagues from Russia and Sweden, and was published in the 26 July advanced on-line issue of Nature Geoscience. In addition, the extent to which this “reduced” carbon survives migration into the crust needs to be established (e.g.,

Volvo also revealed ongoing customer field testing of DME trucks in the US (with Safeway and Martin Transportation), as well as its partnership in the customer trials with startup DME producer Oberon Fuels. Oberon Fuels is the first company to announce plans to commercialize DME fuel production in North America. Earlier post.).
