The new material is simple to make, requiring primarily off-the-shelf melamine powder—which today costs about $40 per ton—along with formaldehyde and cyanuric acid, a chemical that, among other uses, is added with chlorine to swimming pools. The low cost of porous melamine means that the material could be deployed widely.

The EU’s DirectFuel project, which launched on 1 October, intends to develop a photobiological process for the direct conversion of sunlight and CO 2 into engine- and infrastructure-ready transport fuels such as propane. The 4-year project will have funding of up to €3.73 million (US$5.1 PCC 6803, a freshwater cyanobacterium.
