Renewable gas from carbon dioxide with the aid of solar power
Scientists at Linköping University, Sweden, are trying to transform carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, to sustain using power from sunlight. Current results have actually shown that it is possible to utilize their method to uniquely create methane, carbon monoxide gas or formic acid from carbon dioxide and water. The study has been released in ACS Nano.

DIY Solar LEAF Project Shows The Untapped Potential Of Solar EVs
After my recent article about solar electric vehicles (EVs), I came across something I didn’t expect to see so fast. Since the prices of both used EVs and solar panels have fallen so much, the price is now where DIY tinkerers are willing to break out their Dremel tools and make a go of it themselves.

Double-sided solar panels that follow the sun confirm most economical
Solar energy systems with double-sided (bifacial) photovoltaic panels - which accumulate sunshine from 2 sides as opposed to one - and also single-axis monitoring innovation that tilts the panels so they can comply with the sun are the most cost effective to day, researchers report June 3rd in the journal Joule. They identified that this combination of modern technologies generates practically 35% more energy, typically, than stable single-panel solar systems, while lowering the expense of electrical energy by approximately 16%.
