Biologically inspired membrane purges coal-fired smoke of greenhouse gases

April 11, 2018 • ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A biologically inspired membrane intended to cleanse carbon dioxide almost completely from the smoke of coal-fired power plants has been developed by scientists at Sandia National Laboratories and the University of New Mexico.[caption id="" align="align…

Fuel cell membrane patented by Sandia outperforms market

September 7, 2016 • ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Fuel cells provide power without pollutants. But, as in the Goldilocks story, membranes in automobile fuel cells work at temperatures either too hot or too cold to be maximally effective. A polyphenyline membrane patented by Sandia National Laboratories, though, seems to work just about right, says Sandia...

Blowing bubbles to catch carbon dioxide

September 1, 2016 • ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Sandia National Laboratories and the University of New Mexico (UNM) have created a powerful new way to capture carbon dioxide from coal- and gas-fired electricity plants with a bubble-like membrane that harnesses the power of nature to reduce CO2 emissions efficiently. CO2 is a primary greenhouse gas,...
