Japan launches first global hydrogen supply chain demo project; liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) technology
Four Japanese companies—Chiyoda, Mitsubishi, Mitsui and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha—have launched the “Advanced Hydrogen Energy Chain Association for Technology Development”(AHEAD) along with the world’s first Global Hydrogen Supply Chain Demonstration Project. The project, a subsidized “Techn...
10^12 moles, so 2*10^6 tons, or about 1/5th of current H2 production level.

Duke study: serpentinized rock in oceans may be large, overlooked source of free hydrogen gas
Rocks formed beneath the ocean floor by fast-spreading tectonic plates may be a large and previously overlooked source of free hydrogen gas, a new Duke University study suggests. Their paper is published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. Recent discoveries of free hydrogen gas, whi...
Great. Throw in a chlorinated hydrocarbon to kill soil organisms so the nitrogen sticks around... yum.

EPA announces 2016 Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award winners
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced the Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award winners. The annual awards recognize landmark green chemistry technologies developed by industrial pioneers and leading scientists that turn climate risk and other environmental problems i...
Interesting study. Actual result is that marijuana increased the crash rate (relative risk) by 1.25-fold, but that this was insignificant when age, gender ethnicity and alcohol use were brought into play. The 1.25-fold rate, incidentally, is about that of the risk factor for blood-alcohol of 0.03 (well below the level of 0.08 where most states consider this a DUI, and at which point the relative risk is 3.98-fold increased).

NHTSA releases two new studies on impaired driving on US roads; drunk driving down, drug use up
The nation’s decades-long campaign to combat drunk driving continues to make roads safer, but use of marijuana and prescription drugs is increasingly prominent on the highways, creating new safety questions, according to a pair of new studies released by the Department of Transportation’s Nation...

JBEI researchers engineer bacterium to produce diesel-range biofuel using CO2 as sole carbon source
A team of researchers with the US Department of Energy (DOE)’s Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI) has engineered the bacterium Ralstonia eutropha—a microbe now used to produce biodegradable plastic—for the production of fatty acid-derived, diesel-range methyl ketones. A paper on their work is publ...
A wash is right. The CO2 is captured as a by-product of refinery operations, later to be burnt as fuel. There is no carbon capture here.

Canada backs demonstration-scale algal biorefinery project in the oil sands; Algal Carbon Conversion
The Government of Canada is supporting a three-year project that will result in the construction of a $19-million, demonstration-scale facility in Alberta that will use algae to recycle industrial carbon dioxide emissions from an oil sands facility into commercial products such as biofuels. The...
General question: A person buys a Leaf in 2013, five years later there are better batteries. Presumably the new batteries would have different volts/amps. Anyone have a feel for how the current car would fit in with the new battery designs. Would there be a fix for switching to the new batteries?

Australia in the midst of a drought that is popularly thought to be CO2-related. Here they are pulling more carbon out of the ground and burning it with some deference to CO2 entrapment. Rediculous back-pedaling.
