million to 16 water infrastructure projects. Modern technology has the potential to reduce energy use in aging water infrastructure, particularly in wastewater treatment, which demands up to 2% of domestic electricity use each year. The US Department of Energy (DOE) is awarding $27.5

A team of Virginia Tech researchers, led by Dr. Y.H. Percival Zhang, has developed a process to convert xylose—the second-most abundant sugar in plants—into hydrogen with approaching 100% of the theoretical yield. Support for the current research comes from the Department of Biological Systems Engineering at Virginia Tech.

Department of Energy (DOE) released a report suggesting that, in theory, over 300 former and present coal power plants could be converted to nuclear. Most nuclear plants around the world today are large light-water reactors, with capacities well over a gigawatt—quite a bit more than typical coal plants. On 13 September, the U.S.

CADO completely converts wet ethanol (and other alcohols) into targeted hydrocarbons in a simple reactor system at moderate temperatures and near atmospheric pressure without adding hydrogen. Possibly debottleneck processes to increase throughput with little additional costs other than for feedstock.

Hydrogen production from cellodextrin and water by a synthetic enzymatic pathway. Researchers at Virginia Tech, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), and the University of Georgia have produced hydrogen gas in a spontaneous, “one-pot” process using an enzyme cocktail, cellulosic materials from non-food sources, and water.

Waste generated by the facility, which manufactures all Volvo trucks sold in North America, is now recycled, composted or converted to electricity. While technologies such as building automation systems, solar hot water heaters and infrared heaters helped drive NRV’s energy reductions, many of the energy-saving ideas have come from employees.

First, an electric potential will be applied to water to simultaneously produce acidity and alkalinity. The carbonation reaction will convert REE-bearing silicate minerals to REE-bearing carbonate minerals. The technologies use electricity to extract valuable metal ions from the surrounding mineral matrix at sub-boiling temperatures.
