Coal will remain a staple fuel for electricity generation despite the carbon dioxide it emits with its effect of the environment. But research at Imperial College London into gasification and high-pressure reactors, which began with work on the fluidised bed reactor, is helping to increase efficiency.
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) will help us to carry on using fossil fuels to generate electricity. Boosted by its inclusion in the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), projects such as Vatenfall’s Schwarze Pumpe are now in action but its use in abating climate change within the Kyoto protocol is unclear.
Fuel cells offer a great deal of promise in a variety of applications. E&T visits Finland where a key demonstration project hopes to prove this ‘disruptive’ technology is on the verge of commercial reality.
...that’s clean energy and not mutated viruses, by the way. E&T reports.
The ability of the UK power grid to support the growth of electric cars has been called into question, but as E&T discovers there is more than enough electricity to go around.
When you picture green cars, the last thing on your mind would be the typical 200mph racing car. But, as E&T discovers, several new racing series are shattering that conception.
Before construction work could begin on the London Olympic Park the electrical infrastructure needed to be put in place, as E&T discovers.
Increasingly, we live in a time that is obsessively motivated towards alternative energies, as global warming and its effects begin to dominate the world’s collective consciousness.
A new method of steam-reforming hydrogen could allow fuel cells to be powered from organic waste materials such as vegetable oil or the glycerol by-product of bio-diesel.
