Waste Management and Renmatix to explore conversion of urban waste to low-cost cellulosic sugar via supercritical hydrolysis

Green Car Congress

This deal is the first-of-its-kind for Renmatix and is anticipated to generate immediate revenue for the company as it investigates viability of these new feedstocks. The stored solids are slurried with water and pumped and heated to reaction temperature and then fed to the fractionation reactor where the reaction takes place.

MIT Researchers Identify New Low-Cost Water-Splitting Catalyst

Green Car Congress

The Ni-B i films can be prepared with precise thickness control and operate at modest overpotential providing an alternative to the Co catalyst for applications in solar energy conversion. The original discovery has already led to the creation of a company, called Sun Catalytix, that aims to commercialize the system in the next two years.

Convert Oil Wells to Solve the Solar Storage Problem

Cars That Think

The California-based Hyperlight Energy will be piloting an installation where they plan to use existing oil wells as solar thermal wellsprings, with the stored energy being converted back to clean electricity when required. Thermal energy storage is a known low-cost, low-risk approach for storing solar energy in the form of heat,” adds Codd.
