However, bio-oil, or pyrolysis oil, comprises many oxygenated organic chemicals with water-miscible and oil-miscible fractions. Woody biomass gave up to 36% carbon conversion to pure hydrocarbons at optimum conditions. Minimizing coke formation and overcoming the hydrogen deficiency of biomass remain challenges.

The University of California, San Diego, seeks to address this issue by developing a low-atomic-number renewable wall for fusion devices that contains a slurry composed of carbon, ceramics, and a volatile binder. Tritium recovery is achieved by outgassing the recovered carbon pebbles. University of Houston.

Also, the biobased BDO pathway consumes carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), resulting in a reduction of 70% in CO 2 emissions. Fermentation requires no organic solvent, and the water used is recycled. Greener reaction conditions: Kraton Performance Polymers, LLC, Houston, Texas. The biggest benefits are during use.

A new robust and highly active bifunctional catalyst developed by Rice University and the University of Houston splits water into hydrogen and oxygen without the need for expensive metals such as platinum. Normally, a hydrogen evolution reaction is done in acid and an oxygen evolution reaction is done in base.

The Rice lab of chemist James Tour and colleagues at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the University of Texas at San Antonio and the University of Houston have developed a robust, solid-state catalyst that shows promise to replace expensive platinum for hydrogen generation. No question, [platinum-carbon materials] are the best.
