Algerian Renewable Energy Projects for Clean Environment

Himri S., Himri Y., Malik A.S., Himri S., Himri Y., Boudghene Stambouli A., SONELGAZ, DZ

Renewable energy sources RES (solar, wind resources, biomass, geothermal, etc.) that use indigenous resources and that supply16% of the total world energy demand, have the potential to provide energy services with zero or almost zero [...]

Energy-efficient electrochemical CO2 capture from the atmosphere

Eisaman M.D., Schwartz D.E., Amic S., Larner D., Zesch J., Littau K., Palo Alto Research Center, US

In this contribution, we report on the experimental demonstration of a continuously operating modified fuel cell capable of capturing CO2 at atmospheric concentrations with record efficiency. The atmosphere provides O2 and CO2 at the cathode, [...]

Environmental CleanTechnology

Sapkal R.S., Sapkal V.S., Sapkal R.S., Sapkal V.S., Shinde G.B., Pune University, IN

“Green technology” or Clean technology is the application of the environmental sciences to conserve the natural environment and resources, and by curbing the negative impacts of human involvement. Our innovations have helped move the world [...]

An “Atmospherically Healthy” Recipe for Carbon-Neutral Fuels: A synthetic fuel made from sunlight, CO2, and water

Littau K., Palo Alto Research Center (Parc), US

Although carbon capture and storage has been proposed as an effective means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, this is not a realistic solution for mobile emitters where the capture system would need to be carried [...]

Methanol Production for Renewable Energy Storage and Distribution

Bishop W., Consultant, US

Methanol production technology and systems are being developed to provide an economically viable fuel from a renewable energy source. Neither fossil fuel nor biological feedstock is required. The energy is principally used to extract hydrogen [...]

Bio Mass for CO2 Neutral Steel Production

Gerdes T., Willert-Porada M., University of Bayreuth, DE

The paper presents a process to strongly increase the efficiency of bio mass as energy source in steel production by direct use of wood chips instead of charcoal combined with a new microwave based heating [...]

Nanoelectronic CO2 Breath Sensors

Star A., Joshi V., Thomas D., Niemann J., Gabriel J.-C.P., Valcke C., Nanomix Inc, US

The measurement of carbon dioxide levels in respiration is a standard of care or guideline according to the American Heart Association, the American Association of Respiratory Care, and the American Society of Anesthesiologists, and is [...]
