Researchers from the University of Houston (UH) have developed a cobalt(II) oxide (CoO) nanocrystalline catalyst that can carry out overall water splitting with a solar-to-hydrogen efficiency of around 5%. The generation of hydrogen from water using sunlight could potentially form the basis of a clean and renewable source of energy.

and the University of Houston will work together to further understanding of the geology and composition of crude oil. In addition, improvements in the methods used to characterize crude oil will allow it to be processed more efficiently, which can improve the yield from each barrel and lower the cost of refined products.

Energy Technology Ventures (ETV)—a GE-NRG Energy-ConocoPhillips venture—has invested in Houston-based Glori Energy , whose enhanced oil recovery technology leverages microbes to help extract trapped oil from mature oil fields, significantly boosting well production. Glori divides its process into three phases: S1 – Sample.

A team of researchers led by Zhifeng Ren, director of the Texas Center for Superconductivity at the University of Houston, has developed an oxygen-evolving catalyst that takes just minutes to grow at room temperature on commercially available nickel foam. That requires substantial amounts of energy and drives up the cost.

The plant will produce cleaner gasoline from low-cost natural gas, captured bio-methane from farms and landfills, and mitigated flared gas from the Permian basin. Nacero’s Pemwell-facility in Houston, Texas. The only byproduct will be water, which will be recovered and used to supply 80% of the plant’s make-up water.
