  • CU-Boulder Team Develops Water Splitting Technique that Could Produce Hydrogen Fuel

    A University of Colorado Boulder team has developed a radically new technique that uses the power of sunlight to efficiently split water into its components of hydrogen and oxygen, paving the way for the broad use of hydrogen as a clean, green fuel.

  • Guest Post: Is a Vegawatt Energy System Ideal for Your Restaurant?

    This guest post from Paul Taylor covers a topic about which many of us are interested, the generation of energy from sustainable sources. The tool Mr. Taylor introduces is called the Vegawatt, designed for restaurant use. Read on! – GRM As I constantly browse the Internet looking for new and innovative ways people have been…

  • News on Hydrogen Discoveries

    For those scientists, researchers and sustainability innovators wanting to know more about the status of hydrogen today, read the two following AAAS releases below. We need to learn much more about discoveries such as these. Congratulations to all who worked on these projects.

  • Harvesting Electricity from Carbon Dioxide

    They describe technology that would react the CO2 with water or other liquids and, with further processing, produce a flow of electrons that make up electric current. It could produce about 1,570 billion kilowatts of additional electricity annually if used to harvest CO2 from power plants, industry and residences. That’s about 400 times the annual…

  • Hydrogen Cars Quickened by Copenhagen Chemists

    Climate friendly fuel cells for hydrogen cars have come one step closer. Researchers at the Department of Chemistry, University of Copenhagen, have shown how to build fuel cells that produce as much electricity as current models, but require markedly less of the rare and valuable precious metal platinum. Their discovery was published in the highly…
