Fuel Cells Could Offer Cheap Carbon-Dioxide Storage
|
25.5.2013 |
Technology Review Feed - Tech Review Top Stories |
| A new type of fuel cell could make CO2 storage cheaper, but it could also prove to be a good way to pump more oil out of the ground.
The electrochemical reactions that occur inside fuel cells to generate electricity could provide a cheap way to selectively remove carbon dioxide from the exhaust gases of fossil-fuel power plants. The same reactions could concentrate the carbon dioxide, allowing it to be stored underground. The fuel cell could also be used to generate electricity, providing revenue to offset its cost. ... |

| By Nichola Groom LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - In October 2004, then California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger rolled up to a pioneering fueling station at Los Angeles International Airport in a hydrogen-powered metallic blue Hummer loaned to him by General Motors Corp. The "California Hydrogen Highway," Schwarzenegger's vision to ensure that every Californian would have access to a hydrogen fueling station by the end of 2010, called for the state to spend more than $50 million to help deploy up to 100 hydrogen fuel stations that would serve 2,000 fuel cell vehicles. ... ... |

Verizon Expands Investment in Alternative Energy
|
7.5.2013 |
Environmental News Network |
Verizon has announced it will invest $100 million in a solar and fuel cell energy project that will help power 19 of its facilities in seven states across the country. The company estimates the completed project will generate more than 70 million kilowatt of clean energy, which would be enough to power more than 6,000 single-family homes a year. This amount of clean, solar power prevents the emission of more than 10,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide, which is enough to offset the annual CO2 emissions from more than 1 million gallons of gas. |

Wind-to-hydrogen project planned in Renville County
|
1.5.2013 |
MinnPost |
| Norfolk Wind Energy wants to erect 40-megawatt turbines with the opportunity to expand to 100 megawatts.
The nation’s first large-scale commercial plant that would convert wind energy to hydrogen could be located just south of Bird Island, reports Tom Cherveny of the West Central Tribune . Norfolk Wind Energy and Emerald H2 will develop the project. Norfolk Wind Energy, made up of farmers and landowners south of Bird Island, wants to erect 40-megawatt turbines with the opportunity to expand to 100 megawatts, said founder and president Dave Scheibel. Emerald H2 of Minneapolis has technology that can use electricity to produce hydrogen from water. The project would be the first to demonstrate whether hydrogen can be produced from wind-produced electricity on a large scale. Ultimately, the companies hope to use the hydrogen to make anhydrous ammonia, a common ingredient in fertilizer that is currently made from natural gas.

Are sulfates and methylmercury killing Minnesota’s moose?
|
11.4.2013 |
MinnPost |
| Minnesota’s moose are inexplicably dying. A $1.2 million study was set in motion to determine why. In February, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) released its moose survey . A Star Tribune headline summed it up: "State moose population dives by a third in annual count." The DNR called off the moose hunt indefinitely.
Global warming was blamed. But, according to the Natural Resources Research Institute , global warming alone is too simplistic an explanation. Moose are moving into areas of North Dakota where temperatures are warmer than Minnesota's.
Consider the possibility that a clue to solving the “mystery of the disappearing moose” is sulfates. Several biologists have told me they agree the theory warrants research.
Sulfates and PEM
A moose is a ruminant. Cattle, another ruminant, have long been plagued with high-sulfate induced Polioencephalomalacia (PEM). Ruminants that ingest too much sulfur (as sulfate) from food and water may end up with PEM. The result is ... |
