The efficient conversion of solar energy into storable forms of chemical energy is the dream of many engineers. Nature found ...

Photosynthesis -- mainly carried out by plants -- is based on a remarkably efficient energy conversion process. To generate chemical energy, sunlight must first be captured and transported further.

Many firms are exploring ways to generate their own supply of continuous low-carbon energy on-site. Chemical companies like nuclear and geothermal energy because those sources also produce ...

Do not attempt to perform this demonstration. The combustion of methane is an example of an exothermic reaction. More energy is released when the bonds in the products are formed than is used to break ...

Ammonia, used in fertilizer, is essential to our lives. Addis Energy is trying to make the chemical underground. Forget massive steel tanks—some scientists want to make chemicals with the help ...

Steven Cook, who was a lawyer for chemical and oil refining company LyondellBasell ... water utility trade organizations, as well as Duke Energy, Talos Energy and LG Chem. Justin Schwab has ...

Separating and purifying closely related mixtures of molecules can be some of the most energy-intensive processes in the ...

Chemical and biological engineers are uniquely prepared to address these challenges, for example, by developing environmentally friendly, energy-, water- and material-efficient materials and processes ...
