  • Deep Injection of Ethanol Plant CO2 Underway

    The project demonstrates an integrated system for collecting CO2 from an ethanol production plant and for storage in a deep underground sandstone reservoir.

  • Fighter Jet Flies on 100 Percent Biofuel

    A Saab Gripen D fighter has completed a series of test flights with 100 percent biofuel, demonstrating that the single-engine jet can be flown entirely with an alternative fuel.

  • Germany to Host Europe's Largest Battery

    This summer will mark construction of Europe’s largest battery system, which will supply sustainable reserve capacity in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein.

  • Mathematical Model for Energy Storage Material Design

    A mathematical model could help researchers design improved materials for storing electricity.

  • Time vs. Conductivity as a Basis for Clean-in-Place Control Systems

    Given that chemicals used in the cleaning process are more conductive than the water, conductivity measurements monitor the cleaning process itself, as well as the final flushing of the chemical solutions from the process machinery.

  • Renewable Installations Up, Investment Down in 2016

    The world added record levels of renewable energy capacity in 2016, even as investment in renewable energy fell, the United Nations Environment Programme reported.

  • Energy Leaders Acknowledge Disruptive Change, Survey Says

    Disruptive technologies including renewable energies and energy efficiency are impacting top action priorities for energy leaders globally in 2017.

  • Deep Learning Algorithm Holds Promise for Drug Development

    A type of machine learning that works well with small data sets holds promise for drug discovery and development.

  • Fuzzy Fibers Foil Thermal Stress in Next-gen Rocket Engines

    A new composite should aid the design of advanced rocket engine components that must withstand high-heat conditions.

  • A Tunnel for Ships Sails Closer to Reality

    The tunnel could be built in less than four years and would allow ships to navigate more safely through the Stadhavet Sea, one of most exposed and dangerous areas along the Norwegian coast.

  • Why Car Factories Now Have High-Quality Electron Microscopes

    Powerful electron microscopes are extremely valuable in science laboratories. However, they are used elsewhere as well. For example, SEAT, a Spanish automotive manufacturer, decided to show how this powerful tool is used in the automotive industry.

  • Jumping Droplets Whisk Away Hotspots in Electronics

    Engineers have developed a technology to cool hotspots in high-performance electronics using the same physical phenomenon that cleans the wings of cicadas.

  • Renewable Plastic Precursor Could Grow Cellulosic Biofuel Industry

    A team of chemical and biological engineers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison has found a way to produce from biomass a valuable compound used in plastic production that they estimate could lower the cost of ethanol produced from plant material by more than two dollars per gallon.

  • Microgrid with Solar PV Enters Service for Schneider Electric

    The microgrid is expected to generate more than 520,000 kWh of electricity per year and includes a 354 kW solar array with 1,379 solar modules.
