Researchers Demonstrate Liquid-Tin Anode SOFC Operating on Biodiesel

Green Car Congress

Researchers from CellTech Power and the University of Connecticut have demonstrated a liquid-tin anode solid-oxide fuel cell (LTA-SOFC) operating on pure biodiesel (B100) prepared via base-catalyzed transesterification of virgin and waste cooking oils. The peak power for each cell was 3.5

Perspective: Regional Greenhouse Gas Cap-and-Trade Programs May be the Solution

Green Car Congress

Cap-and-trade was first tried on a significant scale twenty years ago under the first Bush administration as a way to address the problem of airborne sulfur dioxide pollution–widely known as acid rain–from coal-burning power plants in the eastern United States. Sources: In 2012–electricity generators and large industrial sources.
