From power grids to heartbeat: Using mathematics to restore rhythm
When a rhythm stalls, the effect can be fatal – in a power grid it can mean a blackout, and in the human heart even death. An international team of scientists has now developed a new approach for revoking these undesired quenching states. They use an advanced mathematical methodology, building on complex networks analysis, and demonstrate it in experiments with chemical reactions. This ...

Lighting a Fire in Indian Clean Coal Industry: The 2nd Annual World Clean Coal Week India Focus 2013
Coal, the world's most abundant fossil fuel, plays a vital role in the world energy mix. It supplies 24 percent of the total global energy and 40 percent of global electricity. In Asia, coal accounts for almost 75 percent of electricity generation nationally, and is most likely to remain the principal fuel source in the future. As a prospering country with world’s 5th largest coal reserve, ...

Carbon capture hopes set in stone
Scientists in Iceland have concrete evidence that carbon capture and sequestration can be made to work. They have buried carbon dioxide in the rocks and watched it turn to stone. There is no guarantee that what works on a small scale at a geothermal plant in south-west Iceland could be practical or economical for the world’s giant fossil fuel power plants. But the study, backed by US ...

Coal-fired Power Plant Becomes A “Green” Chemical Producer
Coal-fired power plants can become major producers of hydrochloric acid and calcium chloride in a win-win situation. Environmental emissions from the power plant including mercury are reduced. Environmental emissions from hydrochloric acid manufacture are eliminated. The net cost of electricity goes down instead of up. These are the conclusions reached by the McIlvaine Company in its online, ...

The hidden costs of energy production—US$120bn in 2005
A report just released by the National Academies of Science estimates the “hidden” costs of energy production and use. These costs, which include human health effects, physical damages to buildings and other structures, and reduction in grain crop harvests caused by air pollution are not reflected in market prices of coal, oil, other energy sources, or the electricity and gasoline produced from ...

Investing in power plants: effects of volatile CO2 prices and price caps
A recent study has modelled the effects of carbon dioxide prices and price caps on decisions to investment in new power plants. It found that unstable prices can encourage development of coal-fired power stations fitted with carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. In addition, low price caps on carbon are not likely to encourage a switch to biomass-fired power plants. The EU is committed to ...
