Pilot Project Sends Kelp–and Carbon–to the Seafloor

Cars That Think

Last January, in the waters off Cebu City in the Philippines, researchers first deployed a huge flexible ring seeded with seaweed and spanned by spokelike ropes and tubes. Every nightfall, cranks mounted on a floating platform lower the ring 25 meters below the surface to expose the seaweed to cooler, more nutrient-rich water.

France’s IFPEN studying industrial potential of onshore sources of natural hydrogen

Green Car Congress

IFP Energies nouvelles (IFPEN) has become one of the first global research centers actively to investigate onshore natural hydrogen emissions after the discovery of offshore sources of the gas in the 1970s. Initial exploratory work has already shown that continuous onshore natural H 2 emissions occur frequently.
