Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that combine hydrogen and oxygen in order to produce electricity. During the power generation cycle, water and heat are produced as a by-products. This is a far more ideal byproduct than the unclean emissions which are created by other methods of generating electricity. They will operate and generate power so long as fuel is supplied. …

A glacier, known as the Trotting Glacier, melts more water in a day than NY City uses in a year and has receded 9 miles in 5 years. The evidence is the ice core records that include CO2 and temperature levels reaching back 650,000 years. Each fume from a smoke stack and combustion engine output contributes to the seventy million …

Every time there’s an increase in oil prices, people feel it, even if they don’t drive a car. Some suggest we use biofuel to lessen the impact of the rising fuel costs. But what is biofuel, and how does it differ from fossil fuel? Biofuel is produced from recycled elements of the food chain, and from plants. It is used …

Munya Chinongoza asked: When it comes to biodiesel turbine fuel and kerosene, there have been many searches on the net for this and it seems clear that many people have a question and they keep searching for the answer. The most common question is “Is it possible to make a biodiesel and kerosene blend or replace the kerosene entirely?”. When …

Alisha Dhamani asked: If it’s a diesel, it’s an alt fuel vehicle by default. Biodiesel blends can be used in any diesel engine; however, it’s important to use the blends in accordance with the manufacturers specs. With more and more clean diesels coming on line, keep your eyes peeled for those ULSD pumps too. With fueling stations in all 50 …

Hybrid electric vehicles are a top contender to be the alternative fuel vehicle, replacing the gasoline powered vehicles of today. They are efficient, reliable and becoming most cost effective every day. Popularly known as the hybrid, this alternative fuel vehicle runs on battery electric power and good old fashioned gasoline. It gets much higher mileage per gallon than traditional vehicles …

Well in taking advantage of abundant local resources San Joaquin Solar has gotten themselves a contract with PG&E of California to provide 106.8 megawatts (MW) of solar thermal-biofuel hybrid power to the PG&E power grid. The combo energy project is to be built near Coalinga CA, a location only known for a powerful earthquake centered there many years ago. Coalinga …

There is growing interest in the development of biodiesel fuel as more and more positive benefits are found for this alternative fuel source. It’s not that it’s just a good alternative to our reliance on imported oil but it is also been shown to have a positive impact on our own health and the environment as a whole. The first …

As South Korea’s population grows, it is becoming more and more essential for governmental involvement in industry to help stave the overwhelming effects of pollution on the nation’s air quality. In the late 1990s, South Korea’s environment was put into jeopardy by efforts of its industry to boost economic growth at all costs. Industry shifted into high gear without being …

The EPA has created the National Clean Diesel Campaign (NCDC) to compile and enforce a group of regulatory and non-regulatory standards for reducing emissions from diesel engines for the highway and for non-road engines(locomotive, marine and agricultural). NCDC participants are committed to finding innovative ways to protect human health and the environment. More: continued here

Of the fossil fuels, natural gas is the cleanest source of energy to use for many of our every day needs and activities. It plays an important part in reducing pollution so that a clean and healthy environment can be maintained. Because of its almost perfect combustion process, very few byproducts are emitted into the atmosphere as pollutants. The environmentally …

It is said that Hydrogen cars are the way of the future. Today, the world is crippled by its need for oil, and its dependency on the Middle East for those fuels. Cars that use Hydrogen for fuel use either a fuel cell based technology or an internal combustion engine. The History of Hydrogen Fuel Celled Cars. Swiss Christian Friedrich …

The call has gone out from President Bush to kick our oil habit. For many people, the mention of biomass as a fuel source was a new concept. Little did they realize they have already been putting it into their cars. Nope, that isnt your dads gas anymore. There are Plants in My Gasoline? In his State of the Union …

BP today announced it has selected the University of California Berkeley and its partners the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to join in a $500 million research program that will explore how bioscience can be used to increase energy production and reduce the impact of energy consumption on the environment.

With the crisis in oil and natural gas prices, the continued violence in the Middle East, and the environmental concerns brought front and center by hurricanes Katrina and Rita, alternative fuels have managed to become a topic of conversation in the mainstream media. Unfortunately, not all proposals make sense environmentally. The energy crisis has given the nuclear industry a major …

From now you don’t need to use only gasoline to run your car as there are a lot of different alternative fuels. The choice of alternative fuel sources is larger today than it has ever been before. Take advantage of fuel conversion system and run your cars on ethanol (E85) fuels instead of traditional gasoline. Rio de Janeiro (PRWEB) November …

November 29, 2006 Livermore, California – Power Air Corporation , today announced unit cell performance and cost improvements due to advances in the materials and design of its patented fuel cell technology. “We are very pleased with the increase in both power and lifetime achieved to date by our Engineering team” states Mr. Remy Kozak, President and CEO of Power …

Source:Chicago Tribune CHICAGO –Imagine a world in which oil barons are forced to peddle sand because the U.S. no longer buys their oil to make gas. And imagine a world where you can take a deep breath without inhaling waste or having to look north to see whether the former polar ice cap is about to wash you away. But …

As the entire world continues to feel the negative effects of climate change, in the form of increased inclement weather events and rising global temperatures, it’s impossible to ignore the myriad ways in which humans are fueling these changes.
