India approves $2.5 billion scheme to boost biogas output

Aug 06, 2026 (AFP)
India approved a $2.5 billion biogas programme to sharply expand domestic clean fuel production on Thursday, after Middle East war shortages underscored dependence on energy imports. read more 		  Indian minister sues Meta, others over ethanol posts
Jul 28, 2026 (AFP)
India's road transport minister Nitin Gadkari sued Meta and other tech giants on Tuesday, seeking $1.14 million in damages over what he said were defamatory social media posts linking him to the country's ethanol-blendin... more
Solar-Driven Process Converts Waste Plastics Into Hydrogen And Industrial Fuels
Apr 29, 2026 (SPX)
A new paper led by PhD candidate Xiao Lu explores how solar-powered photoreforming can break down waste plastics at relatively low temperatures using light-activated materials called photocatalysts. The process can produ... more
Biochar Hydrogel Hybrid Pushes Solar Desalination to New Efficiency Levels
Apr 28, 2026 (SPX)
Freshwater scarcity continues to intensify globally, with the vast majority of Earth's water locked in oceans or saline sources. Conventional desalination methods carry high energy demands and substantial infrastructure ... more
From sun to subsoil, how countries are moving away from fossil fuels
Apr 24, 2026 (AFP)
It's a long-burning question -- but one that is catching fire as energy costs soar due to the conflict in the Middle East, which has strangled exports of crude oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG). With the global energy ... more
LMU Munich Solves Two Key Barriers Blocking Perovskite Quantum Dots From Real-World Use
Apr 23, 2026 (SPX)
Perovskite quantum dots are semiconductor crystals just a few nanometers in size, composed of perovskite materials typically combining metals and halides. At such small scales, quantum effects dominate, strongly altering... more
Iron and UV light drive simple hydrogen production from alcohol
Apr 17, 2026 (SPX)
The study, published in Communications Chemistry, also showed that the same approach could produce hydrogen from other alcohols and from biomass-derived materials including glucose and cellulose. The researchers said the... more
   Waste water to clean energy: Japanese engineers harness the power of osmosis
Apr 03, 2026 (AFP)
The possibility of generating power from osmosis -- when water molecules pass from a less salty solution to a more salty one -- has long been known. But actually generating energy from that has proved more complicated, i... more
ALMA survey maps cold gas maze at Milky Way core
Mar 30, 2026 (SPX)
The survey, known as the ALMA CMZ Exploration Survey (ACES), targets the cold molecular gas that provides the raw material for new stars. By stitching together many individual ALMA pointings into a single mosaic as long ... more
  
ESA-SSTL Twin HydroGNSS Satellites Return Water Cycle Data During Commissioning
Mar 16, 2026 (SPX)
HydroGNSS is ESA's first Scout mission, developed under the Earth Observation FutureEO programme. Scout missions are designed to move quickly and cheaply, translating new satellite technologies into demonstrated capabili... more
Ethanol method boosts low temperature NOx cleanup catalysts
Mar 11, 2026 (SPX)
Nitrogen oxides, often grouped as NOx, are harmful air pollutants generated during the combustion of fossil fuels in power plants and heavy industry. They contribute to smog, acid rain, and a range of environmental and h... more
   Denmark inaugurates first flight with sustainable fuel
Mar 04, 2026 (AFP)
A flight from low-cost carrier Norwegian Air Shuttle took off from Aalborg in northwestern Denmark at 3:29 pm (1429 GMT) headed for Copenhagen, using 40-percent SAF made from used cooking oil. The carrier estimated that ... more
Stable black carbon in mangrove soils boosts coastal climate role
Feb 24, 2026 (SPX)
A study of mangrove soils in the Zhangjiang Estuary of China finds that black carbon, a highly stable product of incomplete combustion from sources such as wildfires and fossil fuel burning, persists in mangrove sediment... more
