Peden et al. use gas recycling in a multi-pass floating catalyst CVD reactor to produce hydrogen and carbon nanotube aerogel from methane.
Production of hydrogen and carbon nanotubes from methane using a multi-pass floating catalyst chemical vapour deposition reactor with process gas recycling - Nature Energy
Methane pyrolysis produces hydrogen and carbon materials, but some approaches based on chemical vapour deposition actually consume hydrogen to mitigate unwanted side reactions. Here Peden et al. use gas recycling in a multi-pass floating catalyst chemical vapour deposition reactor to produce hydrogen alongside carbon nanotube aerogels.

New research highlights the importance of engaging policymakers in net-zero scenario approaches, finding that their close involvement could lead to scenarios with energy demand reductions of up to 45% in the case of the UK.
Policymaker-led scenarios and public dialogue facilitate energy demand analysis for net-zero futures - Nature Energy
New research finds that policymakers coleading energy scenario design has the potential both to better align scenarios with policymakers’ priorities and to question current policy, by substantially reducing energy use at half of the cost of technology-focused approaches.

New research finds that current U.S. legislative proposals could increase interregional electricity transmission grid reliability while capturing some of the cost and emissions benefits of a cost-optimized grid.
Implications of policy-driven transmission expansion for costs, emissions and reliability in the USA - Nature Energy
Interregional transmission is key to a cost-efficient, reliable and cleaner US grid. Senga et al. find that current legislative proposals can increase reliability while capturing some of the cost and emissions benefits of a cost-optimized grid.

We need to talk more about climate adaptation.

Regardless of where we stand on climate politics, climate change is already changing our environment, and bringing with it more weather-related disasters like wildfires and floods 🔥⛈️🌊.

Binding and release in balance ¦ Federico Dattila discusses new research showing that piperazine, alongside a Ni single-atom catalyst, allows effective, stable CO2 capture, and conversion to CO in a low-energy process.
Binding and release in balance - Nature Energy
Integrating CO2 capture and electrochemical conversion may lower energy consumption relative to the separated processes, but scale-up is limited by low carbon conversion and energy-intensive solvent regeneration. Now, research shows that piperazine, alongside a Ni single-atom catalyst, allows effective, stable CO2 capture, and conversion to CO in a low-energy process.
