Biodiesel from sugarcane more economical than soybean

Today most U.S. biodiesel is produced from soybean. But despite its value as a protein source, soybean only provides the equivalent of about one barrel of oil per acre. A team led by the University of Illinois has engineered sugarcane plants to produce 12 percent oil by weight, and expect to reach 20 percent in

Scientists Developing a DIY Paint-on Coating for Energy Efficient Windows

Low-cost coating would disrupt the building retrofit market and potentially save billions in electricity It’s estimated that 10 percent of all the energy used in buildings in the U.S. can be attributed to window performance, costing building owners about $50 billion annually, yet the high cost of replacing windows or retrofitting them with an energy

How The DARPA Of The Energy World Wants To Change The Electricity Grid

ARPA-E is investing in moonshot energy ideas that are so audacious, they might just change how we power our society. Batteries made with chemicals that we mine from rhubarb plants, rather than expensive metals taken out of the earth. Magnets that clip onto electrical lines and reroute electrons. Solar panels that work efficiently even when

Is the Secret to Cheap Energy Storage Hiding in Harlem?

The material in disposable batteries may hold the secret to making an inexpensive storage system that can feed the electrical grid Ensconced in a former warehouse in Manhattan’s Harlem neighborhood, an energy start-up has equipment not typically associated with battery manufacture—restaurant-grade mixers, pasta-makers and even rolling pins. This kitchen equipment makes ingredients that the company

Feds fund concept for cheaper, better titanium made in U.S.

Essential metal for planes, rockets, missiles and more A Case Western Reserve University proposal for a low-cost, energy-efficient method to extract the strategic metal titanium from ore has been selected by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy for contract negotiations. This one-year project will be funded by ARPA-E at about $675K through

Fuel-efficient cars, planes cheaper with magnesium drawn from ocean

The process could ultimately make fuel-efficient transportation more affordable A lightweight metal that reduces fuel use in cars and planes could be extracted from the ocean through a unique process being developed at the U.S. Dept. of Energy (DOE)’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). The process could ultimately make fuel-efficient transportation more affordable and expand

Tomorrow’s batteries will be squeezed out of nozzles, like toothpaste

This time they are hoping to produce the technologies for a 21st-century revolution in clean energy. IN THE 1970s researchers lounging on bean bags at Xerox’s Palo Alto Research Centre (PARC) churned out the inventions that would trigger the coming revolution in information technology. The computer mouse was born here, as were icons, windows, Ethernet

Race for Renewables’ Game-changers Heats Up

‘Innovation economics‘ is propelling a global hunt for inventions that can extend the frontiers of renewable generation. First comes invention then comes prosperity. That’s the theory of ‘innovation economics,’ a relatively new doctrine that underlies today’s worldwide race to discover energy’s next game changer and is triggering some intriguing tinkering in renewable energy. Will one

SunShot: Lowering the Price of Electricity from the Sun

The U.S. Department of Energy aims to make electricity from the sun cheaper than that from burning coal or natural gas. Silicon translates sunshine into electricity—and Earth receives enough sunshine in a daylight hour to supply all of humanity’s energy needs for a year. But despite being as common as sand, photovoltaic panels made from

Inventing the Future of Energy

How can a small federal agency help reinvent how the U.S. produces and uses energy? Every day the U.S. imports $1 billion worth of oil. Yet, the nation is no closer to weaning itself from such foreign oil than it was 40 years ago when President Carter called energy reform the “moral equivalent of war.”

U.S. Military Links Alternative Energy Research to Lives–and Dollars–Saved

Inventing the future of energy may be key to improving U.S. national security, economic prosperity and health. Flexible solar cells now power communications equipment used by U.S. Marines fighting in Afghanistan’s Helmand Province, enabling them to shed 315 kilograms worth of batteries while on foot patrol. But an F-16 fighter jet flying over Miramar training
