Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy. Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. Some of the wind farms instead sit in clusters more than 100 kilometers out at sea.

NETL researchers create MOF-based luminescent sensor to detect aluminum impurities in rare earth element sources

Green Car Congress

Aluminum is a critical element used in thousands of important products, but it can often interfere with quick and effective extraction of valuable rare earth elements (REEs) from coal waste byproducts. The film emits blue light in the presence of water and becomes significantly more intense in the presence of aluminum ions. Earlier post.)

Concepts for an “Energy Security Trust” reach back to President Carter

Green Car Congress

Elements of the concept behind the proposal, one of a number of energy-related items in the speech, reach back to an initiative launched by President Jimmy Carter on 26 April 1979—almost 34 years ago. We can make it economical to harness the energy of the Sun, the wind, the tides, and the geothermal power of the Earth.

Five Cool Tech Demos From the ARPA-E Summit

Cars That Think

South 8 swapped out the carbonate for some industrial liquified gases with low freezing points (a recipe the company won’t disclose). The tubes wind through servers, absorbing heat through cold plates, and return the warmed liquid to tanks in a cooling distribution unit. They can also freeze, which shuts down all conductivity.
