Sunlight can break down marine plastic into tens of thousands of chemical compounds
13-Sep-2021
Sunlight was once thought to only fragment plastics in the marine environment into smaller particles that chemically resemble the original material and persist forever. However, scientists more recently have learned that sunlight also chemically transforms plastic into a suite of polymer-, ...
Sunlight degrades polystyrene faster than expected
14-Oct-2019
A study published by researchers at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) shows that polystyrene, one of the world's most ubiquitous plastics, may degrade in decades or centuries when exposed to sunlight, rather than thousands of years as previously thought. "Right now, policy makers ...
New detector sniffs out origins of methane
Instrument identifies methane's origins in mines, deep-sea vents, and cows
09-Mar-2015
Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, second only to carbon dioxide in its capacity to trap heat in Earth's atmosphere for a long time. The gas can originate from lakes and swamps, natural-gas pipelines, deep-sea vents, and livestock. Understanding the sources of methane, and how the gas is formed, ...
Researchers produce two bio-fuels from a single algae
30-Jan-2015
A common algae commercially grown to make fish food holds promise as a source for both biodiesel and jet fuel, according to a new study published in the journal Energy & Fuels. The researchers, led by Greg O'Neil of Western Washington University and Chris Reddy of Woods Hole Oceanographic ...
Plankton Power and RTDC announce proposed algae-to-biofuels pilot facility on Cape Cod
Consortium of local research-industry-government-military organizations collaborating to establish algae farm and biorefinery for production of renewable fuels
06-Aug-2009
Plankton Power and the Regional Technology Development Corp. (RTDC) of Cape Cod announced the establishment of a public-private consortium focused on building a leading-edge facility to produce renewable biofuels from algae. Under the leadership of Plankton Power, the RTDC, Massachusetts National ...
New Research Suggests Biofuel Blending is Often Inaccurate
Study of Retail Biofuel Samples Suggests National Standards May Be Needed
29-Feb-2008
While sampling blended biodiesel fuels purchased from small-scale retailers, researchers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution found that many of the blends do not contain the advertised amount of biofuel. Marine chemist Chris Reddy and colleagues sampled pure biodiesel and blends from ...
