In Switzerland, researchers at ETH Zurich announced a breakthrough in hydrogen storage technology, using iron to safely store hydrogen for long periods. This innovative method was demonstrated at a pilot plant on ETH Zurich’s Hönggerberg campus. The technology involves reacting hydrogen with iron oxide to produce elemental iron, which can be stored and later converted […]
In Switzerland, researchers at ETH Zurich have engineered bacteria in the laboratory to efficiently use methanol. The metabolism of these bacteria can now be tapped into to produce valuable products currently made by the chemical industry from fossil fuels. Bacteria that feed on methanol, known as methylotrophs, are at the centre of these efforts. Containing […]

Researchers explained that methanol can be synthesized from […]
In Switzerland, ETH Zurich researchers can now reveal the most effective renovation strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions: replace fossil- fuel heating systems and harness the potential of bio- based building materials like straw and hemp. They developed a model that uses AI to calculate greenhouse gas emissions and costs and also takes into account […]
In Switzerland, researchers at ETH Zurich are developing a new method to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. It involves molecules that become acidic when exposed to light. Their new process requires much less energy than conventional technologies. Scientists are exploiting the fact that in acidic aqueous liquids, CO2 is present as CO2, but in alkaline […]
