Tesla Wires Half a Billion Dollars to the Government

May 22, 2013

Tesla Motors’ loan repayment is a bright spot for the DOE loan program.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk hinted it would happen, and now it’s happened. Tesla, the electric car maker, has paid off the DOE loan that allowed it to build a factory and start building and selling its Model S electric car. And it’s done so nine years ahead of schedule, according to the company (see “Musk Says Tesla Will Pay Off Its Loans in Half the Time”).



Exxon Takes Algae Fuel Back to the Drawing Board

May 20, 2013

A $300 million project seems to have failed to produce a cheap way to make fuel from algae.

In 2009, ExxonMobil announced that it would pay Craig Venter’s Synthetic Genomics up to $300 million to develop algae-based fuels.



Liquefied Air Could Power Cars and Store Energy from Sun and Wind

May 20, 2013

A 19th-century idea might lead to cleaner cars, larger-scale renewable energy.

Some engineers are dusting off an old idea for storing energy—using electricity to liquefy air by cooling it down to nearly 200 °C below zero. When power is needed, the liquefied air is allowed to warm up and expand to drive a steam turbine and generator.



Building Solar in Spain Instead of Germany Could Save Billions

May 17, 2013

Building solar and wind projects in the wrong place is wasting billions of dollars in Europe.

Siemens says it would make sense to build solar power plants in sunny countries in Europe rather than in cloudy ones. And wind turbines should be built in windy places.



Novel Material Shows Promise for Extracting Uranium from Seawater

May 16, 2013

A so-called metal-organic framework could offer a better way to get at the vast uranium resource dissolved in the ocean.

A new material could potentially be used to extract uranium from seawater more efficiently, new research suggests.



High Oil Prices Help Oil Production, But Not Biofuels

May 14, 2013

An International Energy Agency report says investments in oil technology will lead to a worldwide supply boom.

High oil prices were supposed to make biofuels and other oil alternatives more competitive. If only oil would stay above $80 a barrel (or $70 or $60), biofuels companies often say, then they’d have a market. Their technology for turning weeds into alcohol or pond scum into crude oil could really take off.



A More Efficient Jet Engine Is Made from Lighter Parts, Some 3-D Printed

May 14, 2013

Composite and 3-D-printed components will mean jet engines that use 15 percent less fuel.

A new generation of engines being developed by the world’s largest jet engine maker, CFM (a partnership between GE and Snecma of France), will allow aircraft to use about 15 percent less fuel—enough to save about $1 million per year per airplane and significantly reduce carbon emissions.



Sharper Computer Models Clear the Way for More Wind Power

May 14, 2013

New prediction models can allow utilities to rely more heavily on wind and save millions.

The utility with the most wind power capacity in the United States, Xcel Energy, is relying more on this power source and saving millions of dollars thanks to new forecasting models similar to those used to predict climate change.



New Milestone for CO2 Levels: Mauna Loa Observatory Records 400 PPM

May 10, 2013

We’ve hit 400 ppm of carbon dioxide, but we won’t know what that means for decades.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Scripps Institution of Oceanography say that the carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere hit the symbolic milestone of 400 parts per million yesterday, up from about 280, the level it was at for thousands of years before the Industrial Revolution.



Can Carbon Capture Clean Up Canada’s Oil Sands?

May 09, 2013

Alberta will serve as a test bed for large-scale carbon capture and sequestration.

Canada is betting that carbon capture and storage (CCS), a technology that is fairly well understood but unproven at the scale needed to significantly decrease greenhouse gas emissions, can reduce the environmental footprint associated with making fuel from oil sands—its fastest-growing source of greenhouse-gas emissions. (See “Alberta’s Oil Sands Heat Up.”)
