QuantumSphere and University of South Florida Exceed 2010 DOE Goals for Solid State Hydrogen Storage

Green Car Congress

and the University of South Florida announced that they have exceeded the 2010 Department of Energy (DOE) goals for solid state hydrogen storage. This compares to the 6 wt% system efficiency target set by the DOE, as this is believed to be the threshold at which hydrogen can be economically stored as a solid. QuantumSphere, Inc.

Researchers find that the global carbon pool in seagrass beds is as much as 19.9B metric tons

Green Car Congress

Per unit area, seagrass meadows can store up to twice as much carbon as the world’s temperate and tropical forests, according to a paper this week in the journal Nature Geoscience. The paper, “Seagrass Ecosystems as a Globally Significant Carbon Stock,” is the first global analysis of carbon stored in seagrasses.

U Texas at Austin researchers rewire yeast for high lipid generation; 60x improvement over parent strains

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin’s Cockrell School of Engineering have rewired the native metabolism of the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica for superior production of lipids (lipogenesis). Traditional methods to increase lipids yield rely on nitrogen starvation to trick yeast cells into storing fat and materials.
