ULEMCo is on target to complete the dual fuel conversions of the Refuse Collection Vehicles (RCVs) and associated vans, under the recently announced Levenmouth Community Energy Project. The RCV conversions, which are believed to be the first of their type in the world, will be used by Fife Council as key partners in the project, to perform normal refuse collection duties, and extend the practical use of hydrogen as an alternative transport fuel.

A drop of water self-heals a multiphase polymer derived from the genetic code of squid ring teeth, which may someday extend the life of medical implants, fiber-optic cables and other hard to repair-in-place objects, according to an international team of researchers from Pennsylvania State University.

Researchers from the Cardiff Catalysis Institute have devised a way of increasing the yield of biodiesel by using the waste left over from its production process.

Scientists at the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), South Korea, have developed a simple process to treat waste coffee grounds to allow them to store methane. The simple soak and heating process develops a carbon capture material with the additional environmental benefits of recycling a waste product.

Researchers at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) and FOM Foundation have presented a very promising prototype of a solar cell that produces fuel rather than electricity in the Nature Communications journal. The Gallium Phosphide (GaP) enables the solar cell to produce hydrogen gas, a clean fuel, from liquid water.

Researchers at Monash University have designed a solar fuel generating device that has established arecord in energy efficiency for the production of solar fuels. The device can produce hydrogen fuel at 22% energy efficiency, breaking the previous record of 18%. Lead researcher Professor Leone Spiccia, School of Chemistry, Monash explained that the process of hydrolysis generates hydrogen and oxygen by passing an electric current through water.

BTU International has announced that it will highlight its controlled atmosphere furnaces in Booth 1649 at The Battery Show, scheduled to take place 15th - 17th September, 2015 in Novi, MI. BTU’s controlled atmosphere furnaces are available with temperature ranges up to 1800°C and various process atmospheres including hydrogen, nitrogen and argon. Excellent atmosphere purity is achieved through the use of BTU’s patented gas barrie...

IAR Systems is proud to announce that its world-leading development tools have helped Forze, a student foundation at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, to develop their hydrogen-powered racing cars. Thanks to its strong code optimisations and easy-to-use interface, IAR Embedded Workbench has helped the team to accelerate the development cycle and to get their cars into production faster.

Researchers at UCLA’s California NanoSystems Institute have developed a dramatically advanced tool for analysing how chemicals called nanocatalysts convert chemical reactions into electricity.

It’s an old joke that many fusion scientists have grown tired of hearing: Practical nuclear fusion power plants are just 30 years away - and always will be.But now, finally, the joke may no longer be true: Advances in magnet technology have enabled researchers at MIT to propose a new design for a practical compact tokamak fusion reactor - and it’s one that might be realized in as little as a decade, they say.
