Microbes (Microbial Fuel Cells) to Turn Carbon Dioxide into Methane
A team of scientists led by Dr. Bruce Logan of Penn State University are seriously engaged in using a microbe that could provide a solution for most of our environmental woes. A single arrow that shoots down two major eco-problems, this new species of bacteria known as Methanobacterium palustre apparently has the potential to turn CO2 into CH4. That means ...
Fuel Cells for the Home, in Japan
Japan is testing a generator for the home that runs on fuel cells. It started in 2005 at the Prime Minister's residence but now has grown to some 3,000 households. Japan, being the energy-poor nation that it is, is desperate to find energy elsewhere and fuel cells can run on hydrogen extracted from hydrocarbons, natural gas, bio mass, water, even rubbish ...
