From: Automutt on 8 Jul 2010 14:01 Coal Conversion Via ETS or CPR Models The First Step Forward ETS legislation to the people for a referendum... ~Automutt reports, December 2, 2009 ETS legislation to the people for a referendum... NGEN's proposed conversion of coal and gas fired power stations to hydrogen and the supply of hydrogen for cars will revolutionise the worlds energy sector. The resulting decrease in CO2 emissions could be an offset for any proposed ETS leglisation. The Coppenhagen Treaty or any other model to reduce green house gases should take into account the conversion of current green house gas emitting infrastructure... Instituting the change and reduction models allowing for conversion techniques in regards to ETS legislation is a minefield politically. The current implosion of the Australian Opposition Party, (Liberal / National Coaliton), before the overwhelming influence of the current ETS before the Australian Senate is all too evident. A more than likely Double Dissolution of Parliament and the resulting early election is on the cards, taking the ETS legislation to the people for a referendum... A subsequent knifing in the back by party power brokers has seen us lose our Prime Minister and gain another overnight, still with no clear or present policy on the ETS or Carbon Reduction. Why can we not fix the problems of our dependence on fossil fuels with the model of conversion reported below in an NGen Press Release, any tax on pollution/carbon should be used for such models and any credits given for such behaviour. Any comments regarding ETS legislation or new technologies and the problems envisaged in their implementation is encouraged --------------------------------------------------- Nano catalysts, and the death of Coal With the advent of Nano-catalysts and Viral Scaffolds the extraction of hydrogen has became much cheaper and more efficient. According to Gridshift, cheaper than gasoline. Surely a new appreciation for this resource will come about and new technologies utilising hydrogen should now be evaluated. Fuel for Cars, Energy for Homes, With the advent of nano-extraction techniques, the extraction of hydrogen from sea water for the use of power generation and fueling of cars is a step closer. NGEN's proposed conversion of coal and gas fired power stations to hydrogen and the supply of hydrogen for cars will revolutionise the worlds energy sector. MIT's Belcher uses engineered virus to split water By Christine Peterson, on April 16th, 2010 Angela Belcher and team at MIT have tweaked a bacterial virus to serve as a scaffolding to: attract and bind with molecules of a catalyst (the team used iridium oxide) and a biological pigment (zinc porphyrins). The viruses became wire-like devices that could very efficiently split the oxygen from water molecules. Belcher says that within two years she expects to have a prototype device that can carry out the whole process of splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen, using a self-sustaining and durable system. This is just a very early taste of what we can expect someday from more extensively designed molecular machine systems. -Chris Peterson http://www.foresight.org/nanodot/?p=3868 Due to developments in the nanoextraction of hydrogen from sea water, the hydrogenerator has been revised with this cheaper and more efficient system. Regarding the dangers in storing vast ammounts of hydrogen we at NGen have instituted a "Just In Time" Processing Model allowing with pipeline and in-situ sea water extraction, the process of safe, secure- ease power generation on massive scales, and the supply of hydrogen for the use of cars and other combustion engines. NGEN looks forward to providing cost effective energy for the worlds markets, but must overcome much derision and stagnate policies, before full production can occur, lets hope we acheive our goals and find the markets available to us. NGEN -- WA Hydrogen is a critical piece of Americas future renewable energy policy, said Robert Dopp, CEO of GridShift, Inc. Our new water electrolysis process generates carbon neutral hydrogen that is cheaper than gasoline at a fraction of the cost and size of currently available water electrolysis hydrogen generators. We are now on the path to a truly viable hydrogen fueled future. The key to GridShifts process is a new method for coating a complex three-dimensionally shaped electrode on all surfaces with a unique combination of nano catalysts that expose the catalysts to the electrolyte for efficient water electrolysis reactions and is robust enough to withstand the rigors of electrolysis. The result is an electrolyzer running as a full cell at 1000 milliamp per cm2 at 80% energy efficiency. GridShift is on track to reach their goal of 85% energy efficiency, which is 47 kWh/kgH2 or $2.35 per kg of H2. Technical details of the development, procedure and the discovery are available in a whitepaper published at http://www.grid-shift.com/white_papers Coal Conversion Techniques Coal to Gas to Hydrogen As the breakdown of the climate talks in Copenhagen attest to, we must otherwise institute measures for the reduction of carbon pollution. The conversion of current coal fired infrastructure to gas and then further to hydrogen is of import to the reduction models otherwise explored. Conversion techniques and engineering practices will be used to implement change in the energy sector for the benefit of global achievement in the environmental action plans set before us all. Further conversion to hydrogen, with the advent of nanoextraction of hydrogen from sea water, will be implemented to achieve further reductions in carbon pollution. The required conversion techniques and engineering will be invaluable for the rollout of conversion to go ahead. Current infrastructure must be converted or superseded to achieve any reductions, particularly as energy needs increase. The ability to provide expertise in conversion techniques or the engineering inherent in conversion is needed to allow the efficient changeover from coal to gas and so on. Firms specialising in these capabilities will reap many benefits from the greening economy, now and into the future. Coal Conversion. The First Step Forward http://automutt.deviantart.com/ Patent office arms race will hurt nanotechnology There's an arms race between government patent offices and patent filers assisted by private law firms. The folks who work for the former get paid a lot less than the those who work for the latter. This leads to a continual drain away from government review of patent applications toward private generation of patent applications. A San Jose Mercury News blog entry explains more of the problem, which will affect all areas of technology but especially new, complex, multidisciplinary ones such as nanotechnology: Dilbert is alive and well and managing the Patent office |
