When he proposes steps to improve oil industry safety, we hope he won’t say, “Let’s make sure this never happens again.” We now have a sprinkling of promising companies working to get funded to convert gas-guzzlers. And oil only seems cheap. Well, America’s auto industry delivered over 100,000. We just had to do it.

The complete Blue World system includes the fuel cell stack, the methanol reformer, heat-exchanger, power conversion units and a set of power and operation controllers, and balance of plant. Methanol reforming converts a mix of methanol and water into a hydrogen-rich gas. The MEA is one of the core components in a fuel cell stack.

Engineers at Iowa State University have developed a hybrid process that combines bio- and electrocatalysis to convert glucose into bio-based unsaturated nylon-6,6—which has the advantage of an extra double bond in its backbone that can be used to tailor the polymer’s properties. Hybrid conversion of glucose into UPA-6,6.

In particular, one of the projects will explore the idea of using cheap and widely available magnesium oxide-based mineral silicates to trap carbon dioxide from industry flue gases via a process known as dry mineral carbonation. The by-products of this can be used as construction or landfill materials. BioEnergy and BioFuels.

During the charging process, the reduced form of the redox shuttle, M red , is first converted to M ox on the oxygen electrode, which in turn oxidizes the Li 2 O 2. The state of the art is to use a solar panel to capture the light, and then use a cheap battery to store the energy. Their hybrid design uses only three. —YiYing Wu.

Two chemists at Brown University have streamlined the conversion of waste vegetable oil (WVO) into biodiesel, eliminating the need for corrosive chemicals to perform the reactions. The reaction is complete when all of the molecules have been converted into smaller components known as fatty acid esters. WVO to Biodiesel.
