- Another morning hangover for ethanolics
- This time a major U.S. newspaper editorializes against the American subsidies for ethanol. Their conclusion: "This does not mean that Congress should give up on biofuels as an important part of the effort to reduce the country's dependency on imported oil and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. What it does...

- Microreactors change propane into hydrogen
- Microreactors have already been used for on-site reforming of fuels, such as methanol or propane, to produce hydrogen to be used in fuel cells. Now, researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign UIUC have designed very efficient ceramic microreactors to do this task. The scientists say that their microreactors...
