Solar-induced Hybrid Fuel Cell Converts Biomass To Electricity
2014-02-18 22:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: Although low temperature fuel cells powered by methanol or hydrogen have been well studied, existing low temperature fuel cell technologies cannot directly use biomass as a fuel because of the lack of an effective catalyst system for polymeric materials. Now, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a new type of low-temperature fuel cell that directly converts biomass to electricity with assistance from a catalyst activated by solar or thermal energy. The hybrid fuel...

Water shortages could disrupt Britain's electricity supply, researchers warn
2014-02-16 19:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Parts of Britain may be under water after the worst floods in half a century, but a team of top academics from Newcastle and Oxford University is warning that the country is at risk of water shortages that could shut down power stations and paralyse electricity supplies. "It is difficult to fathom we should start to think about water shortages in the middle of these storms but only two years ago areas of Britain were suffering from severe droughts," said Ed Byers, a researcher at Newcastle University's...

Car Emissions Hurt You More Than Electricity Generating: Here's Why
2014-02-13 10:52:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
CNet: As an electric car owner, you're probably used to the accusatory look people give you when they inquire as to where your electricity comes from. The answer they're looking for is power stations, of course--before launching into a tirade about plug-in vehicles being just as dirty as regular combustion vehicles. Only they aren't. Even ignoring the fact that EV efficiency means their carbon emission output is lower, new research suggests that power stations themselves are responsible for fewer...
