Researchers at Lund University (Sweden) have developed an optimized two-phase enzymatic (lipase) system for the conversion of plant oils to biodiesel. For that reason, two-phase reaction media seem to be the most suitable environment for these particular enzymes. Under the mild conditions used, chemical catalysts were inefficient.

However, the limited resources of vanadium, the high expense associated with the cell materials, and the toxicity hazard of using large quantities of soluble vanadium, have been the major challenges to the widespread adoption of the vanadium redox flow battery. None of today’s mature battery technologies meet all of these requirements.

In contrast, the principal metals in the new compound developed by the Brookhaven team are both abundant and cheap: $20 per kilogram for nickel and $32 per kilogram for molybdenum. In this new catalyst, nickel takes the reactive place of platinum, but it lacks a comparable electron density. —Wei-Fu Chen. Sasaki, K., Frenkel, A.

CO 2 conversion to hydrocarbons over catalysts has been known for several decades but has been shown very little research and development attention, as other technologies have been much cheaper and efficient in yielding cheap oil. Most research to date however is focusing on the sequestration of CO 2 in underground reservoirs. Robert Dorner.
