Wastewater treatment plants may soon generate electricity for cities thanks to improved microbial fuel cells
Microbial fuel cell technology shows plenty of promise for generating electricity in places where power sources may be limited, but they haven’t been perfected yet. Now a group of researchers from the Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) have shown that it’s possible to improve their efficiency with the use of modified graphite felt. After testing, […]

Scientists develop clean fuel using CO2, proving again how essential carbon dioxide is to human life
Researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory say they have made a breakthrough in clean energy in relation to the process of converting carbon dioxide (CO2) into fuel using photosynthesis. In their experiment, published in the Energy and Environmental Science journal, the U.S. Department of Energy scientists at the Berkeley lab were for the first time […]

Deforestation impacts climate change more than fossil fuel use, new study finds
Curbing the use of fossil fuels is often singled out as the best way to tackle climate change, but a new study published in the journal Environmental Research Letters shows that the problem of deforestation should not be overlooked as it contributes far more to climate change than once believed. The new paper, which is […]
