Researchers in Germany have developed a method to store and release highly pure hydrogen by the interconversion of readily available (bi)carbonate and formate salts in the presence of naturally occurring ?-amino acids. An open-access paper on their work is published in ACS Central Science. The reversible storage of hydrogen in solid salts has emerged as a potential way to make the fuel easier to transport and handle, but the reactions to do this require precious metals as catalysts and may produ

I live in Manitoba , a province of Canada where all but a tiny fraction of electricity is generated from the potential energy of water. Unlike in British Columbia and Quebec, where generation relies on huge dams, our dams on the Nelson River are low, with hydraulic heads of no more than 30 meters, which creates only small reservoirs. Of course, the potential is the product of mass, the gravitational constant, and height, but the dams’ modest height is readily compensated for by a large mass, as
