Using the energy in oil shale without releasing carbon dioxide in a greenhouse world

Energy & Fuels New technology that combines production of electricity with capture of carbon dioxide could make billions of barrels of oil shale now regarded as off-limits because of the huge amounts of carbon dioxide released in its production available as an energy source in a greenhouse world of the future. Thats the

Scientists use Visible Light to Break Down Carbon Dioxide

We all are familiar with the effects of carbon dioxide on our environment. Carbon dioxide is responsible for causing the greenhouse effect. If scientists can breakdown this gas into other form it would lead us to reduce the concentration of this gas into environment substantially. It would mean dealing with the root cause of Posted in: Environment , Inventions

Biofuels from Engineered Tobacco Plants?

A biofuel is tricky to define because the usual fossil fuel we use, is in a way biofuel too. But we can safely say that most of the biofuels dont add up their quota of carbon dioxide to the environment. The biofuels are therefore considered to be “CO2 neutral.” Researchers from the Biotechnology Foundation Posted in: Biofuels , Future Energy , Industry

Converting Water and CO2 into Fuel

Researchers are trying to duplicate the natural process of photosynthesis. If successful, we can use the evil carbon dioxide emitted by power plants and industrial units to good use. This way, industrial units dont have to establish new subsidiary units for the treatment of carbon dioxide. Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories have developed a Posted in: Future Energy , Inventions , Waste Energy

Nanotube Technology Transforms CO2 Into Fuel

Presence of surplus carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has taken center stage in the environmental science. All over the world people are worried about the excess amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere because its causing undesirable changes in the surroundings such as green house effect, global warming, melting of ice caps on the Posted in: Future Energy , Inventions , Waste Energy
