Skyonic Corporation, an Austin-based carbon-capture technology company, announced it has been selected to receive $3 million in stimulus funding under the competitive “Carbon Capture and Sequestration from Industrial Sources and Innovative Concepts for Beneficial CO2 Use” grant administered by the Department of Energy and the National Energy Technology Laboratory (DOE/NETL).This grant, along with private investment, [...]

A Marshall University graduate has donated $50,000 to the university’s College of Science to support aquatic research. College Dean Charles Somerville says Shelba Pew’s donation will help in the study of algae in larger rivers. Pew graduated from Marshall in 1936. Somerville says the preliminary study could help in the development of energy resources.

The EPA in its Renewable Fuels Standard found that biofuels could have a significant impact on efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions when compared with gasoline or diesel fuel. The finding now classifies algae-based biodiesel and renewable diesel as an “advanced biofuel” under U.S. federal guidelines. The EPA announcement is in [...]

In a new study, a team of chemists from the University of Toronto in Canada have observed quantum mechanics at work in photosynthesis in marine algae, which suggests algae knew about quantum mechanics nearly two billion years before humans.
“Our latest experiments show that normally functioning biological systems have the capacity to [...]

Here’s an interesting site (and blog) focussed on CO2 sequestration at power plants worldwide. Aptly called Power Plant CCS, it provides the latest updates on CCS at power plants worldwide. Interestingly, it has a special emphasis on researching the newest and novel methods for CCS at these plants.
I find this emphasis [...]

Hopewell launched the algae demonstration project in November. Until at least September, algae will be used to clean wastewater from nitrogen instead of conventionally engineered solutions. This new technology is a more cost-saving, green approach to nutrient removal, which results in cleaner waters in Virginia’s rivers and in the Chesapeake Bay.
Excess [...]
