    Many modern manufacturing methods use an 'alarming' amount of energy, according to a study by researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The study reveals that new manufacturing methods consume, per pound of output, anywhere from 1000 to one million times more energy than traditional industrial processes. The research team looked at 20 different processes from heavy duty traditional industries such as cast iron to the high-tech manufacture of solar panels.

  • Burning natural gas emits about half as much carbon dioxide as burning coal, but it still produces large amounts of the greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. A novel device being developed at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) could reduce those emissions by 20 percent by using heat from the sun to convert natural gas to an alternative fuel called syngas, a lower carbon fuel.

  • Light and compact lithium-ion batteries sound great for electric vehicles--aside from their historical tendency to catch fire. But recent advances in electrode chemistry have made them much safer. One of the first vehicles to use the new batteries comes from a Norwegian company, Think. By year's end, Think plans to start selling ultracompact electric cars with a range of more than 100 miles. A123 Systems of Watertown, MA, and Indianapolis's EnerDel will provide the batteries.
