Floating “Artificial Leaves” Produce Clean Fuel
Researchers have developed floating “artificial leaves” that generate clean fuels from sunlight and water, and could eventually operate on a large scale at sea. Floating 'artificial leaves' that generate clean fuels from sunlight and water have been developed by a team from @ReisnerLab. They could be used to generate a … [continued]
Two F1 Champions Put Fossil-free Fuel to the Test
Sebastian Vettel and the famous “Red 5” show the world how carbon-neutral racing can keep the old-school V10 cool.
Porsche Backs Synthetic Fuels To Keep Classics On The Road

The Long, Slow Death Of Carbon Capture & Sequestration (Hello, Carbon Recycling!)
Carbon capture and sequestration has flopped, but a new carbon “upcycling” system shows how carbon capture on a massive scale could become a thing.
New Energy Dept. Research Opens The Door To A World Without Gasoline — Fossil Gas,…
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has paired up with the University of Toronto to develop a method for converting carbon dioxide and water into a basic building block for high value chemicals and fuels, including synthetic gasoline.
Solar Jet Fuel — Kerosene From Sunlight, Water, & CO2
For the first time ever, researchers from the EU-funded SOLAR-JET project have succeeded in creating “solar” jet fuel (kerosene) from practically nothing but water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide (CO2). The new means of producing jet fuel could “revolutionize the future of aviation” — according to the researchers, anyway. The new … [continued]
Waste-To-Energy Plant To Be Constructed In Nottinghamshire
At the site of the old Bilsthorpe Colliery, a new(ish) idea will be put to use. That is a synthesis gas generator. This plant will collect waste from Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, and surrounding areas to convert it into synthesis gas (also called syngas) via plasma gasification. This gas will then undergo a … [continued]
Landfills Can Free Us from Petrochemicals
The gigantic waste hauling company Waste Management has been transforming itself into something of a jolly green giant, given its recycling operations, landfill gas recovery and sewage-to-biofuel ventures. In its latest move, company signed an agreement with the research firm Genomatica to develop processes for converting municipal landfill gas to … [continued]
