| Engineered for tolerance, bacteria pump out higher quantity of renewable gasoline Posted: 05 Nov 2014 09:20 AM PST An international team of bioengineers has boosted the ability of bacteria to produce isopentenol, a compound with desirable gasoline properties. The finding is a significant step toward developing a bacterial strain that can yield industrial quantities of renewable bio-gasoline. |
| Renewable energy support programs: New studies examine how and when they work Posted: 05 Nov 2014 08:23 AM PST Scientists have quantitatively analyzed the effects of various schemes to support renewable energy generation and, consequently, to reduce carbon emissions and end fossil fuel dependence. |
| Your own energy 'island'? Microgrid could standardize small, self-sustaining electric grids Posted: 05 Nov 2014 07:11 AM PST When researchers talk about "islanding," or isolating, from the grid, they are discussing a fundamental benefit of microgrids -- small systems powered by renewables and energy storage devices. The benefit is that microgrids can disconnect from larger utility grids and continue to provide power locally. |
| Jet-fueled electricity at room temperature: Fuel cell can run without high heat Posted: 05 Nov 2014 05:37 AM PST Engineers have now developed the first room-temperature fuel cell that uses enzymes to help jet fuel produce electricity without needing to ignite the fuel. These new fuel cells can be used to power portable electronics, off-grid power and sensors. |
