Renewable power: Germanys energy gamble
2013-04-10 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature: In an industrial warehouse on the outskirts of Stuttgart, the sooty past is shaking hands with Germany's green-energy future. In one corner sits a relic destined for a museum: a cast-iron engine as big as a bus, which was used until the early 1970s to compress coal gas for lighting, cooking and heating. Nearby, a gleaming network of stainless-steel tanks uses electricity to create methane out of water and carbon dioxide. This power-to-gas (P2G) pilot plant is the largest of its kind in the world,...

New Process May Make Renewable Energy Reliable at Last
2013-03-28 23:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Solar energy is virtually limitless, generates no planet-warming greenhouse gases -- and is useless between sunset and sunrise. Wind energy is also plentiful and emits no carbon, and it can be harvested day or night, but not when the air is calm. A discovery announced in Thursday's issue of Science may offer a way around these daunting problems, however. Chemists at the University of Calgary, in Canada, have found an efficient way to turn electricity from wind and solar energy into hydrogen, which...
