Natural Gas Demand Sparks the Largest U.S. Pipeline Build-Out Since 2008
Summary Strong underlying demand for natural gas is accelerating pipeline construction in the United States with the greatest capacity addition since the peak of the last shale gas boom in 2008. There are 12 projects for new and expanded natural gas pipelines set to be completed in 2026 in Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma. The added combined capacity of these projects will be approximately 18 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d), which exceeds Canada's total daily natural gas consumption. Key highli...
Solar hydrogen can now be produced efficiently without the scarce metal platinum
A green advance | A research breakthrough opens up for efficient hydrogen production from solar energy – without using the scarce metal platinum. In a reactor at a chemistry laboratory at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, bubbles of hydrogen gas can be easily seen with the naked eye as they form – showing that photocatalysis is happening efficiently.

Popping the cork on new low-cost carbon capture method
The process uses water and pressure to remove carbon dioxide from emissions at half the cost of current methods. By Caitlin Clark, Texas A&M University Division of Marketing and Communications A new, low-cost method for capturing carbon dioxide emissions from power plants and industrial facilities relies on a simple physical phenomenon — the same one that causes bubbles to fizz when popping a bottle of Champagne or cracking open a bottle of sel...
