Major world economies are investing more in green technologies, but how optimistic should we be?
Results for "fossil fuels"
Turning plastic waste into low-cost hydrogen fuels
A flash heating technique breaks down plastic waste and converts it to pure hydrogen and graphene with significantly less emissions and at a low cost.
One step closer to sustainable fuels with a low-cost, solar-driven photoreactor
An innovative photoreactor concept achieves commercially viable performance indicators for a broad variety of solar-driven reactions.
How the capybara could improve biofuels
Unique enzymes found in the gut of sugarcane-eating capybaras could help convert agricultural waste into low-carbon biofuels.
One step closer to producing green hydrogen fuels
Researchers design a photo-electrochemical reactor to produce affordable “green” hydrogen.
Waste carbon dioxide converted to synthetic fuels
Engineers find a neat way to turn waste carbon dioxide into useful materials for industrial products like fuel and plastics.
A Fossil Fuel-Free Industrial Revolution
Exploring a fossil-fuel free industrial revolution prompts us to consider the grave risks we’re taking by not making every concerted effort to rapidly fix our global environment.
Politics of Fossil Fuel Subsidies and their Reform
The production and consumption of fossil fuels need to decrease significantly to meet the 2015 Paris Agreement’s ambitious climate change goals. However, fossil fuels continue to receive significant amounts of government support.
Preventative Care of Our Planet: A Global Renewable Synthetic Fuels Roadmap
The clock is ticking for the development and deployment of renewable synthetic fuels substituting for non-renewable fossil-based oil to enable a sustainable energy resource for the benefit of all people.
A Case for CO2-Sourced Sustainable Synthetic Fuels
Is the electrification of the global fleet of automobiles and trucks truly a panacea for curbing greenhouse gas emissions, stabilizing global warming and ameliorating climate change or, rather, is it merely a way of shifting the problem from conventional internal combustion to electric vehicles?
