Making industrial chemicals like ethylene glycol — a key component in polymer production and familiar to many as antifreeze — consumes large amounts of energy and releases significant carbon dioxide ...

Ethylene—the chemical used to create much of the world’s plastics—has a carbon problem that Professor Ted Sargent is working ...

“There are about 55 million tonnes of peanut crops produced globally every year, yet most of the waste from the shell is either discarded or recycled into low-value applications that don’t maximise ...

Researchers have created a process using liquid metals, powered by sunlight, that can produce clean hydrogen from both freshwater and seawater. The method allows researchers to "harvest" hydrogen ...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded Asst. Prof. Fanglin Che of UMass Lowell’s Chemical Engineering Department and Assoc. Prof. Sara Thoi of Johns Hopkins University’s Chemistry ...

In the search for more, new and cleaner sources of energy, a largely untapped resource is emerging: natural hydrogen. Unlike hydrogen produced from industrial processes, natural hydrogen forms through ...

Hydrogen fuel is a promising alternative to fossil fuels that only emits water vapor when used and could thus help to lower ...
