ScienceDaily: Petroleum NewsMore environmental rules needed for shale gas, says geophysicist
6 Feb 2012 at 12:41pm
In his State of the Union address, President Barack Obama praised the potential of the country's tremendous supply of natural gas buried in shale. But the "Halliburton exclusion" passed by Congress says gas companies don't have to disclose the chemicals used in fracturing fluids. That was a real mistake because it makes the public needlessly paranoid, says a geophysicist.
Can the economy bear what oil prices have in store?
26 Jan 2012 at 8:36pm
The economic pain of a flattening oil supply will trump the environment as a reason to curb the use of fossil fuels, say scientists.
New material to remove radioactive gas from spent nuclear fuel
24 Jan 2012 at 12:03pm
Research by chemists could impact worldwide efforts to produce clean, safe nuclear energy and reduce radioactive waste. They have used metal-organic frameworks to capture and remove volatile radioactive gas from spent nuclear fuel.
Computer simulations revealing how methane and hydrogen pack into gas hydrate...
18 Jan 2012 at 3:32pm
For some time, researchers have explored flammable ice for low-carbon or alternative fuel or as a place to store carbon dioxide. Now, a computer analysis of the ice and gas compound, known as a gas hydrate, reveals key details of its structure. The results show that hydrates can hold hydrogen at an optimal capacity of 5 weight-percent, a value that meets the goal of a U.S. Department of Energy standard and makes gas hydrates practical and affordable.
One-third of car fuel consumption is due to friction loss
12 Jan 2012 at 7:58am
No less than one-third of a car's fuel consumption is spent in overcoming friction, and this friction loss has a direct impact on both fuel consumption and emissions. However, new technology can reduce friction by anything from 10 to 80 percent in various components of a car, according to a new study.
