Japanese researchers successfully generate electricity directly from methylcyclohexane

Japanese researchers successfully generate electricity directly from methylcyclohexane

Japanese researchers, led by Professor Akihiko Fukunaga from the Department of Applied Chemistry at Waseda University in Tokyo, have successfully generated electricity directly from methylcyclohexane, an organic hydride, using solid oxide fuel cells, with lower energy than conventional catalytic dehydrogenation reactions. Methylcyclohexane is very promising as a hydrogen carrier that can safely and efficiently transport and store hydrogen. However, the dehydrogenation process using catalysts has issues due to its durability and large energy loss.

Support for Wind Energy Declining Among New Jersey Residents 

Support for Wind Energy Declining Among New Jersey Residents 

 A majority of New Jerseyans continue to favor the development of offshore wind energy, but the current level of support is far below the widespread backing it has received in polls over the prior 15 years. The Monmouth University Poll  finds that 4 in 10 residents think wind farms could hurt the state's summer tourism economy and just under half see a connection between the development and the recent spate of whales washing up on NJ beaches.
