MAKING FUEL FROM AIR AND SUNLIGHT

With transport being one of the main contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, researchers are looking for low-carbon alternatives to replace the conventional fuels being used today. One such promising development took place at ETH Zurich, where researchers developed a technology that is capable of producing liquid hydrocarbon fuels from just air and sunlight. This …

COMPRESSED BIOGAS: AN ALTERNATIVE TO CNG

Biogas is produced naturally through a process of anaerobic decomposition from waste sources such as agricultural residue, sewage treatment plant waste, sugarcane press mud, etc. This waste is collected and processed to produce a raw gas, which is then converted to electricity. After further mechanical, chemical and purification processes, the gas is compressed and this …

THE CARBON FOOTPRINT OF ELECTRICITY GENERATION

The carbon footprint of a product or service is the quantity of CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions that it releases into the atmosphere over its entire life cycle. Carbon footprints are usually calculated using a method known as Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and are measured in gCO2eq/kWh. These CO2 emissions can either be direct-arising …
