Hydrogen is often thought to be linchpin of a future 100% renewable economy. To make up for wind and solar's deal-breaking intermittency and to rid industry of energy-dense fossil fuels, the surplus ...

Traditional techniques of converting fossil fuels for heat and power generation and chemical production increase the carbon ...

When burned or used in fuel cells, hydrogen produces nothing but water, making it an ideal candidate for reducing global carbon emissions. Yet, most of the hydrogen produced today comes from fossil ...

Scientists from the University of Cambridge have developed a new reactor that converts natural gas (a common energy source primarily composed of methane) into two highly valuable resources: clean ...

When the team threw in some old coffee grounds the reaction sped up significantly, back to just five minutes. On closer inspection, the key was identified as imidazole, a compound in the caffeine. The ...

Nuclear thermal propulsion, which uses heat from nuclear reactions as fuel, could be used one day in human spaceflight, possibly even for missions to Mars. Its development, however, poses a challenge.

Traditional techniques of converting fossil fuels for heat and power generation and chemical production increase carbon footprint, harming society and ...

The engineers believe they have discovered the recipe for running a sustainable hydrogen reactor, which they plan to test first in marine and underwater vehicles. The team of engineers found that when ...

Membrane reactors represent an integrated approach that couples catalytic reactions with membrane separation in a single modular unit. Such reactors have emerged as a promising technology for the ...
