Ford Plant Harvests Paint-Shop Emissions into Fuel Cell Concept
Ford has installed a system that collects fumes from its paint shop and converts it into fuel, which is then passed through a molten carbonate fuel cell to generate up to 300 kilowatts of electricity. That's enough to power more than 100 homes. Not only does it generate power, which offsets other electricity used by Ford, it can reduce CO2 emissions by 88 per cent and eliminate nitrogen oxides.

Improved Way for Creating Hydrogen Developed
A team of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have recently developed a new catalyst material, based on cobalt phosphate rather than expensive metals like platinum, which can be used for hydrolysis in water. Electrolysis breaks water into hydrogen and oxygen and is currently used in many industrial processes where hydrogen is needed. The researchers are hoping that the discovery could lead to homes that capture solar energy to make hydrogen for power.
