US DOE awards ~$5M to expand research on methane hydrates

Green Car Congress

When methane hydrates are “melted,” or exposed to pressure and temperature conditions outside those where the formations are stable, the solid crystalline lattice turns to liquid water, and the enclosed methane molecules are released as gas. The University of Texas at Austin. Earlier post.). DOE Investment: approximately $480,000 ?.

Breakthrough in study of aluminum could yield new technological advances

Green Car Congress

Aluminum, in solution with water, affects the biosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere and anthrosphere, the scientists said in their report. But for a century or more, and despite the multitude of products based on it, there has been no effective way to explore the enormous variety and complexity of compounds that aluminum forms in water.
