Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have developed a nanometric graphite-like anode for sodium ion (Na + storage), formed by stacked graphene sheets functionalized only on one side, termed Janus graphene. The estimated sodium storage up to C 6.9 100 to 150 mA h g ? 100 to 150 mA h g ?1

Researchers in Sweden and Spain have devised a three-step process for the conversion of precipitated kraft lignin from black liquor into green diesel. Since black liquor is derived from wood, it is the most important renewable bio-fuel, particularly in Sweden and Finland. Their paper appears in the journal ChemSusChem. Earlier post.)

E85 delivers WTW emissions of 130g CO 2 /km running on sugar beet/wheat-based E85 fuel as produced in France, and 60g CO 2 /km with sugarcane-based E85 fuel as available in Sweden, according to Dacia. Renault has been manufacturing and commercializing Flex Fuel engines running with E100 ethanol since 2004. The Sandero 1.6
