water and electricity to produce higher-energy carbon-based products and a co-product of pure oxygen. This reaction is energetically uphill, so electricity must be added to drive the reaction forward, and it is not possible without a new family of CO?-reducing reducing catalysts.

NREL report estimates gasoline produced from biomass could cost about the same as ethanol

Green Car Congress

The basis for this study was a stand-alone gasification/synthesis process including sub-processes or unit operations for integrated tar reforming, acid gas scrubbing, and synthesis to methanol followed by conversion to gasoline. Gas Cleanup & Conditioning. The remaining gas is sent to the fuel combustor. Methanol Conditioning.

Nuclear Fusion’s New Idea: An Off-the-Shelf Stellarator

Cars That Think

Researchers hope to capture this energy and use it to produce clean, zero-carbon electricity. The team’s use of permanent magnets may not be the ticket to producing commercial-scale energy, but PPPL’s accelerated design-build-test strategy could crank out new insights on plasma behavior that could push the field forward more rapidly.
