New efficient electrolysis process for direct hydrogen production from biomass; 16.7% of energy required for water electrolysis

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Georgia Tech, with colleagues at Hunan University and the Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, have devised a novel, efficient electrolysis approach for hydrogen evolution directly from native biomasses—cellulose, lignin and even wood and grass powders—to hydrogen at low temperature.

Study finds in-car rush-hour exposure to some particulate pollution twice as high as previously thought

Green Car Congress

Reported in the journal Atmospheric Environment , the study found that levels of some forms of harmful particulate matter inside car cabins are twice as high as previously believed. Most traffic pollution sensors are placed on the ground alongside the road and take continuous samples for a 24-hour period. Vreeland et al. Click to enlarge.
