mmm Peaches

mmm Peaches. Peaches could be a source of hydrogen fuel, according to Greenbang. Better, I suppose, than baked beans....

Glycrerol to Hydrogen, the Leeds way

Glycerol one of the big byproducts of biodisel production could be converted to hydrogen rich gas using a process developed at Leeds University in the UK, and reported on Biopact. This is not Dr Valerie DuPont's first venture in to...
