If we look at the current alternative benergy/b (ethanol, bhydrogen/b, etc) today, they are all not as feasible as oil because they either (a) use oil/ natural gas as a prerequisite ingredient and/ or (b) are more energetically taxing to b…/b

bHydrogen/b tank of the future? « melange
The US Department of bEnergy/b reckons that to be viable, bhydrogen/b stores should hold at least 6 per cent by weight of the gas. Until now, materials designed to do the job have fallen well short of this target. Metal hydrides which bind b…/b

MIT Researcher use Photosynthesis to utilise Solar Power
We were really interested in the basic science. Can we make a catalyst that works efficiently under the conditions of photosynthesis? The answer now is yes, we can do that. Now we’ve really got to get to the technology of designing a …
