Boston - Mar 07, 2003 - Even with aggressive research, the hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle will not be better than the diesel hybrid (a vehicle powered by a conventional engine supplemented by an electric motor) in terms of total energy use and greenhouse gas emissions by 2020, says a study recently released by the Laboratory for Energy and the Environment (LFEE).
Bentley - Feb 17, 2003 - The global oil and gas industry will benefit from the establishment of a world-class energy technology research alliance signed recently in Western Australia.
Los Angeles - Feb 10, 2003 - Though many people have never heard of them, the emerging realm of micro-scale devices -- called micro electro mechanical systems, or MEMS -- could completely change the medical, automotive and aerospace industries, except for one thing. No battery yet exists that will provide long-lasting power and still fit inside devices smaller than the width of a human hair.
President Bush has decided that the U.S. will join the negotiations for the construction and operation of a major international magnetic fusion research project, U.S.
Wallingford - Jan 28, 2003 - Proton Energy Systems, Inc, a maker of hydrogen generation and fuel cell products, said Monday that it has successfully high-pressure test of its new HIPRESS Proton Exchange Membrane, or PEM, cell stack module.
Rochester - Jan 08, 2003 - Someday, large-scale solar power stations in space could beam electricity to the surface of the moon, the earth and other planets, decreasing our dependence on a dwindling fossil-fuel supply.
Edmonton - Nov 15, 2002 - A first in Canada, the Alberta Research Council (ARC) reached a milestone in the technical development of its own version of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology. ARC scientists are developing a proprietary micro solid oxide fuel cell (¿-SOFC) source of energy for small-scale portable applications such as laptops or personal digital assistants (PDAs).
Livermore - Nov 04, 2002 - In an effort to stabilize climate and slow down global warming, Livermore scientists along with a team of international researchers have evaluated a series of new primary energy sources that either do not emit or limit the amount of carbon dioxide released to the atmosphere.
Cambridge - Sep 24, 2002 - A 150-ton magnet developed in part by MIT engineers is pulling the world closer to nuclear fusion as a potential source of energy.
Blakely - Sep 10, 2002 - Researchers using biomass from peanut shell ended a 100-hour experiment to demonstrate hydrogen production. They announce a method to sequester vast amounts of carbon while making fertilizer. This is one of the largest biomass to hydrogen projects in the U.S.
Cairo (AFP) May 14, 2002 - Arab oil ministers and officials ended a conference here Tuesday calling on Arab countries to speed up economic liberalisation in order to attract much needed private investment in energy projects.
Moffett Field - May 03, 2002 - Microwaves derived from solar power and transmitted by orbiting satellites to electric power stations on Earth may someday enable U.S. energy self-sufficiency, but is this method safe for local plant life?
Warwick - May 01, 2002 - Researchers at the University of Warwick's Warwick Process Technology Group have devised a process that turns wet waste from sewage farms and paper mills into a source of power.
Sydney - Apr 29, 2002 - A vision for Australia to achieve energy sustainability and independence by converting the nation's bountiful endowment of fossil fuels to clean energy was outlined today by one of Australia's top energy scientists.
Washington (AFP) Apr 25, 2002 - Republicans on Thursday declared passage of a long-awaited national energy plan as a victory for the Bush administration, and indicated they would fight to restore an axed controversial plan to drill for oil in Alaska.
Scientists at the University of California, Riverside are developing a way of converting 'wet waste,' such as sewage sludge and grass clippings, into…
