Emissions Control

A rare decarbonization idea that looks as good for business as it does for the planet. This system promises to radically reduce carbon dioxide emissions for 70% of steelmakers, while generating profits and making use of existing blast furnaces.

UC Berkeley chemists say they've created a simple, and very inexpensive way to capture carbon dioxide using a polymer called melamine, that's far cheaper than metal-organic frameworks. It could capture carbon emissions from smokestacks or tailpipes.

We already have devices which detect vehicles that are exceeding the speed limit, or that are too noisy. Now, scientists are working on an unmanned sensor that could be used to sniff out automobiles that are emitting overly-dirty exhaust.

Thanks to the humble sea urchin, a team from the U.K.’s Newcastle University has stumbled across a quick and cheap way to convert CO2 into calcium carbonate.

Colorado based company ION Engineering have developed technology that could be used in a similar way to economically remove CO2 and other contaminants from fossil fuel power plant emissions and raw natural gas.

A team of Indian scientists have discovered a naturally occurring bacteria that could help fight global warming as it converts CO2 into calcium carbonate (CaCO3) - a common compound found as rock all the world over.

UK based Waste2tricity aims to take carbon based waste, including plastics, paper, cardboard, food and other plant material, from business and industry, and convert it into clean electricity.

Researchers in Australia have started a three-year project to develop a spray-on coating for solar panels and more efficient cells that are less costly than today's PV. Australian National University (ANU) is working with new Australian solar company Spark Solar and Finnish materials company Braggon

The Windspire is a wind turbine that employs a propeller-free, vertical axis design that makes it an ideal green power alternative for rural, suburban, and even some urban residential environments.

Battery running low on you're mobile phone? Sounds like it's time for a walk. That's the reality of the nPower PEG, a personal energy generator that, like battery-less flashlights which require shaking to produce energy, puts Michael Faraday's (1791– 1867) Principle of Electromagnetic Induction to w

The RSi PV-Glass Window is the next generation of BIPV (building integrated photovoltaic) and promises to generate up to 250 watts of electricity.

Massachusetts-based FloDesign has developed a wind turbine that could generate electricity at half the cost of conventional wind turbines. The company's design, which draws on technology developed for jet engines, circumvents a fundamental limit to conventional wind turbines.
