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 ...

$80 Billion market to upgrade old U.S Coal-fired Power Plants
Over the next ten years operators of coal-fired power plants will spend $80 billion to upgrade their existing power plants. This is the prediction in the McIlvaine report, Fossil & Nuclear Power Generation: World Analysis & Forecast. (www.mcilvainecompany.com) The U.S. upgrade market will be driven by the following factors: Coal will again become the low cost power option Building new ...

US carbon dioxide pollution down 3.8 percent
The United States cut its energy-related carbon dioxide pollution by 3.8 percent last year, the second biggest drop since 1990, the Department of Energy said Monday. The only recent year with a bigger percentage drop was in 2009, when America was in a large recession. American cars and factories spewed 5.83 billion tons of carbon dioxide in 2012, down from 6.06 billion in 2011. It is the lowest ...

Study: Your all-electric car may not be so green
People who own all-electric cars where coal generates the power may think they are helping the environment. But a new study finds their vehicles actually make the air dirtier, worsening global warming. Ethanol isn't so green, either. "It's kind of hard to beat gasoline" for public and environmental health, said study co-author Julian Marshall, an engineering professor at the University of ...

Obama`s climate plan takes aim at coal plants
America is slowly moving toward cleaner sources of energy and using less of it overall. President Barack Obama's plan to fight climate change will accelerate those trends. The plan aims to reduce power-plant emissions of carbon dioxide, increase America's reliance on natural gas and renewables and make trucks, homes and businesses more efficient. Some parts of the plan will take months to work ...

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, ...

Useful waste is a win-win for energy and food
The future is increasingly bright for renewable energy, with the US aiming to cut the price of solar photovoltaics by 75%between 2010 and 2020. Denmark plans to obtain 50% of its energy from windjust five years from now.

China and Europe join forces on `clean coal`
A joint initiative between China and Europe has paved the way for the development of efficient and low-carbon energy systems using coal. The researchers believe that international collaboration - and in particular an initiative called cooperation action with China (under the COACH project) - will speed up the development of polygeneration plants. These plants produce other coal-based fuels at ...

To clean up coal, Obama pushes more oil production
America's newest and cleanest coal-fired power plant comes with a catch: The heat-trapping carbon dioxide removed from its smokestack pollution will help force more oil out of the ground. Some environmentalists complain that it ends up releasing more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than is stored underground as waste. It's another example of the Obama administration promoting new, cleaner ...
