Engineers at ETH Zurich have demonstrated a pilot system that can produce fuels from sunlight and air. The device captures carbon dioxide and water from the atmosphere and uses solar energy to convert it into syngas, which is then converted into liquid… Continue reading Rooftop system converts CO2, water and sunlight into kerosene
You’ll be hearing a lot more about ammonia as a clean fuel option as the race to zero carbon by 2050 progresses. In particular, it looks like a strong option for long-haul shipping and trucking. So what is it, how is it made, and how does it shape up a… Continue reading Green ammonia: The rocky pathway to a new clean fuel
It’s going to take decades to get aviation, shipping and long-haul transport down to zero emissions. The technology is embryonic right now, and some of these big vehicles are still in service 30 years after they’re first delivered, so even once the tec… Continue reading Infinium’s electrofuels: An instant zero-carbon path for big transport
Devices that mimic the natural process of photosynthesis, in which plants use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into energy, could one day help us tackle a number of environmental issues. Scientists have now demonstrated a new type of technolog… Continue reading Artificial photosynthesis device improves its own efficiency over time
Methanol has wide-ranging potential as a cleaner fuel for powering advanced automobiles or producing plastic materials or other chemicals, and recently we’re seeing how the production side of things could prove a boon for the environment, too. Scientis… Continue reading New catalyst converts methane into methanol at room temperature
