Carbon emissions can now be upcycled into usable energy
South Korean researchers came up with a new clean energy generation system that could capture, use, and store carbon-based air pollutants. In addition to producing both electricity and hydrogen fuel, it also prevented the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Their hybrid sodium-carbon dioxide (Na-CO2) system used an aqueous solution to swiftly dissolve CO2 in […]

Rethink satellite production: Using affordable, sustainable materials can minimize space junk and address engineering problems
Space is for everyone – that is to say, everyone at the lead of the space race who can afford large satellites and the rockets to put them in space. But researchers suggest that changing the way satellites are built and deployed could solve a lot of problems, including the issue of space junk. The […]

Bangkok to deploy drones to combat air pollution
Most governments used aerial drones to spy on citizens or bomb insurgents. However, the Thai government launched a dozen drones into the skies over Bangkok to fight a far more insidious foe: Air pollution. The concentrations of toxic particulate matter in the air of Thailand’s biggest and most populous city were not yet as bad […]

Researchers develop eco-friendly catalysts that can be used to produce renewable raw materials for plastic products
Japanese researchers debuted a new compound that can accelerate the oxidation of the sugar-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and turn it into raw material for bioplastics. The new catalyst is also sustainable since it can further reduce the dependency on fossil fuels that are currently used to create most plastics and associated catalysts. Most raw materials for plastics are […]

Drones can take birdwatching to the next level
Aerial drones are being touted as a much better way to watch over endangered species in the wilderness. U.K. researchers recently suggest sending out drones with thermal-sensing cameras that can spot the well-camouflaged specimens and hidden nests of the European nightjar (Caprimulgus europaeus). While numerous in overall number and still common throughout most of Europe, this species is growing increasingly rare […]

Lignin-nylon composite can be used as an eco-friendly 3D printing material, researchers say
Researchers have found a great use for lignin produced by bio-refining processes. By combining the woody waste product with nylon, they came up with a renewable feedstock material that can be used by 3D printers to manufacture eco-friendly products. Lignin comprises a good percentage of the mass of a plant. It is responsible for the rigidity of a plant’s cell walls. […]

Novel chemistry method paves the way for large-scale production of bioplastic bottles
Japanese and Dutch researchers demonstrated a new technique to extract an important plastic-making chemical from non-edible plant matter in large quantities. Their method of getting furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (FDCA) from a renewable source of material could displace the fossil fuel equivalent that is used to make plastic bottles and other plastic products. There is a growing […]

Purple phototrophic bacteria being studied as a potential means to convert sewage to clean energy
Spanish researchers are touting a certain strain of phototrophic bacteria as a cheap, clean, and efficient means of extracting organic compounds from sewage. They claim the recovered materials can be turned into useful bioplastics and biofuel. Phototrophic bacteria are different from their photosynthetic cousins in that they can only store energy derived from sunlight. While they can absorb other […]

Bacterium shows promise for producing solar fuels through artificial photosynthesis
American researchers force-fed gold nanoparticles to a non-photosynthetic bacteria. The offering of precious metal bits gave the microbe the ability to turn light into solar fuel, reported a Nanowerk article. Moorella thermoacetica is not normally capable of photosynthesis. Researchers from the University of California Berkeley (UC Berkeley) added cadmium sulfide nanoparticles to the exterior of […]

Researchers develop renewable methane from waste wood
A new German-developed biogas plant has recently succeeded in creating synthetic natural gas (SNG) from biomass. The KIT news page reported that the methane produced by this pilot facility is just as good as its fossil fuel-based equivalent. The plant can turn a mixture of gases into usable biofuel. The raw materials are extracted from […]
