A massive new fund is converting agricultural waste into renewable fuel that works in existing pipelines. The €200 million investment could help Europe break free from imported fossil fuels while solving farm waste problems.
Researchers finally discovered why gold stays shiny forever while silver tarnishes. The answer could revolutionize how we make plastics and renewable fuels.
A renewable fuels facility in Nevada is turning waste into wins, recovering enough power to light 500 homes and saving over 50,000 gallons of water every single day. The plant shows how clean energy production can get even cleaner.
Scientists in Germany just broke the world record for turning sunlight directly into clean hydrogen fuel, reaching 31.3% efficiency. The breakthrough could slash the cost of green hydrogen below $3 per kilogram.
South Africa just unveiled its first locally developed mobile hydrogen refueling station, built entirely with homegrown engineering talent. The breakthrough marks a major step toward clean commercial transport and shows publicly funded research turning into real-world solutions.
Researchers discovered a breakthrough that keeps solar energy usable for 25,000 times longer than before, opening the door to turning sunlight directly into fuels and fertilizers. This could help us capture far more energy from the sun than current panels do.
A new retrofit kit lets cargo ships switch to clean biofuels in hours, not months, helping the maritime industry cut carbon emissions without replacing expensive equipment. Thousands of vessels can now adopt renewable fuels without the typical downtime or cost.
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee are converting corn husks, sawdust, and even cork into clean hydrogen fuel. The process also creates a soil-enriching byproduct that helps crops grow better.
Vietnam is making major moves to produce cleaner airplane fuel that could transform air travel across Southeast Asia. The country's new policies and investments signal a breakthrough for green aviation.
A Washington company is solving Florida's biosolids crisis by transforming wastewater sludge into renewable energy and ash-based fuel. The Indiantown facility will process 200,000 tons annually while destroying harmful chemicals and preventing nutrient pollution.
Washington State University researchers turned sewage treatment from an expensive energy drain into a money-saving renewable fuel source. Their breakthrough process creates pipeline-quality natural gas while cutting waste disposal costs in half.
American researchers have developed a breakthrough process that transforms sewage waste into ultra-pure natural gas, turning one of our messiest problems into clean energy. The innovation could revolutionize how cities handle wastewater while producing renewable fuel.
BMW just unveiled a hydrogen fuel cell car that refuels as fast as a gas vehicle and travels up to 466 miles on a single tank. While the world races toward electric vehicles, hydrogen tech is quietly catching up with a solution that could work for drivers who can't wait hours to charge.
America's newest clean energy winner comes from an unexpected place: dairy farms. A federal tax credit now recognizes biogas from cow manure as the only fuel with negative carbon emissions, meaning it actually removes carbon from the atmosphere.
A next-generation hybrid engine running on completely renewable fuel just achieved 71 miles per gallon while cutting CO2 emissions by nearly 2 tons annually. The breakthrough shows how cleaner combustion engines can slash emissions today without waiting for electric infrastructure to catch up.
Michigan could be sitting on vast reserves of naturally forming hydrogen deep underground, and Governor Gretchen Whitmer wants to explore whether this clean fuel could help power the state's future. If successful, the discovery could transform hard-to-electrify industries without the environmental cost of fossil fuels.
Scientists just made it far cheaper to produce a clean fuel that could help the world ditch fossil fuels. The breakthrough could unlock billions of tons of sustainable energy imports.
Two Spanish energy giants just secured land in Morocco for massive green hydrogen projects that could power a cleaner future for Africa and Europe. The deals mark a major step in Morocco's ambitious plan to become a global leader in renewable fuel production.
Chinese researchers have created a plant-inspired process that converts carbon dioxide and water into fuel components using nothing but solar energy. The breakthrough could provide sustainable alternatives for industries like aviation and shipping that can't easily switch to electric power.
Toyota is building a renewable fuels research center in Sorocaba, Brazil, with 40 engineers dedicated to developing flex-fuel, ethanol, and biomethane technologies. The lab is part of an $11.5 billion investment package to make cleaner transportation a reality.
