(Natural News) The call for renewable energy has been gaining traction in recent years due to concerns over escalating environmental pollution. A great deal of pressure is felt among policymakers and private companies as green activists and agencies lobby for a greener solution to humanity’s demand for energy. But a recent report from the Manhattan […]

(Natural News) In times of social unrest or calamity, you can’t always rely on the power grid to provide you with electricity. Power outages can come without warning, leaving you feeling trapped and vulnerable in your own home. An off-grid electrical power system can augment your power supply when SHTF or allow you to go off the […]

(Natural News) Wasted power may soon become a thing of the past, thanks to a new chip designed by scientists from the University of Utah. Scientists from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Utah noted that up to two-thirds of the energy consumed in the United States each year is wasted as […]

(Natural News) The quest for renewable energy has led some scientists to think small, that is, on a microscopic scale. A recent study has demonstrated how mixing microbes and a carbon nanomaterial can be used to help create biohybrid materials that can be used in several green energy applications. Led by Pascal Sailaly, a team […]

(Natural News) Fuel cell technology has been around for some time. The first truly modern fuel cell vehicles came from the 1950s and 1960s, when they were used on experimental vehicles such as the 1966 Electrovan, a van which was outfitted with a fuel cell that took up so much space it could only fit two people. Fuel cell technology was even […]

(Natural News) Chemists from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign managed to successfully create liquid fuel from sunlight, carbon dioxide and water using gold nanoparticles. The process was inspired by photosynthesis, the energy production method of plants. The study was a collaboration between Sungju Yu, a postdoctoral researcher and Prashaint Jain, a chemistry professor. They published their findings in Nature […]

(Natural News) Biofuel is seen as a promising alternative to fossil fuels, and researchers continue to search for more plant-based biofuel sources. A study published in the Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry suggested cocklebur (Xanthium strumarium L.) seed oil as a promising alternative biodiesel source. Researchers from Bozok University in Turkey looked at the potential […]

(Natural News) Scientists at the University of Massachusetts Lowell developed a safer and more efficient way to power electric cars. The scientists said that this method will allow electric vehicles of all sizes to run longer with zero emissions. Using water, carbon dioxide, and cobalt, this innovation can produce hydrogen gas on-demand at a relatively […]

(Natural News) Three years ago, the world’s longest solar road was laid into place, with government officials strutting down the solar panel road, grinning ear to ear. The new age, green energy project was the future of energy, at least, until the cameras clicked off and reality set in. A July 2019 report from the […]

(Natural News) A new study evaluated the potential of plant-derived biofuels to compete with petroleum-based products as a sustainable source of fuel for the aviation industry. It reported that bio-jet fuel might become a viable alternative to fossil fuels – but only if researchers maintain their current rate of success. The global aviation industry consumes […]
