Weizmann Institute team engineers E. coli to eat carbon dioxide

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel have created a strain of the bacterium Escherichia coli that grows by consuming carbon dioxide instead of sugars or other organic molecules. The findings point to means of developing, in the future, carbon-neutral fuels. Ron Milo of the Weizmann Institute.

Researchers at Korea University develop high-performance textile-based electrodes for watersplitting

Green Car Congress

An electrochemical water-splitting reaction offers an effective pathway to generate hydrogen fuels and store electricity from various intermittent but renewable energy sources. To address these problems, a carbonization/interfacial assembly-driven electroplating approach was applied to highly porous silk textiles. —Mo et al.

Australian researchers develop new hybrid plasma electrocatalytic process to produce green ammonia

Green Car Congress

Traditional production of ammonia via the Haber-Bosch process consumes about 2% of the world’s energy and accounts for 1% of the industrial world’s carbon dioxide emissions. And we saw tragically in Beirut recently how potentially dangerous storing ammonium nitrate can be. —Dr Lovell. —Dr Jalili. kWh/mol NH 3.

Study: Energy sorghum may combine best of annual, perennial bioenergy crops

Green Car Congress

Maize and other annual crops are easier to manage with traditional farming, but they are tougher on the environment. The researchers conducted ecosystem-scale comparisons of carbon, nitrogen, water, and energy fluxes of Sorghum bicolor with maize and Miscanthus x. Energy sorghum falls somewhere in between.
