Hydrogen-producing bacteria provide clean energy
A new `green` technology developed cooperatively by scientists with the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and North Carolina State University (NC State) could lead to production of hydrogen from nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Renewable sources of energy—such as hydrogen—that don`t produce pollutants or greenhouse gases are needed to solve global energy shortages. Fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas are nonrenewable energy sources implicated in global warming. The invention holds promise as a source of hydrogen for use in fuel cell technology. Fuel cell devices combine hydrogen and ... |

Developing the first CO2 pipeline standard
“As Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) projects could become an important mitigation option related to climate change, this broad cooperation is an important step forward,” says project manager Frøydis Eldevik at DNV. Relating to CO2 pipeline transmission stakeholders today demand a robust, traceable and transparent approach that gives credibility to the proper management of the risks and uncertainties. Unfortunately, the current pipeline standards do not take into account considerations related to the pipeline transmission of CO2 from large-scale capture plants to suitable storage sites. This serves ... |
