(Natural News) The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the world’s biggest crude exporter, is building a $5 billion hydrogen plant to produce green fuel and lessen its dependence on petrodollars. Petrostates are projected to lose as much as $13 trillion by 2040 because of climate-change targets. Finding a way to corner part of the green fuel […]

(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) 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 […]

(Natural News) There are numerous economic and environmental benefits to running your car on biodiesel like vegetable oil. Biodiesel is a good alternative to gasoline because it burns cleaner and is more efficient. Vegetable oil doesn’t emit greenhouse gases and is a renewable energy source, unlike fossil fuels. Most importantly, vegetable oil is, at the very least, […]

(Natural News) The microbial and electrochemical conversion of complex biomass can produce drop-in fuel, said researchers at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York; Deutsches Biomasseforschungszentrum in Leipzig, Germany; Helmholtz Center for Environmental Research (UFZ), also in Leipzig; and the University of Tubingen in Tübingen, Germany. According to their research that was published in the journal Energy & Environmental Science, technologies that pave the way towards […]

(Natural News) The meat and poultry industry processes about 9 billion chickens per year, the bulk of which contain hormones, antibiotics and dangerous bacteria that’s bred and spread in confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs). Besides all the meat winding up in fast food sandwiches, chicken nuggets, and clear-wrapped packages at butcher stations in supermarkets, the […]
