This month CEP features a look at various aspects of carbon capture and storage (CCS), including technology integration, legal questions and locating viable sites for CO2 sequestration.

Need to understand biofuels better?

Thanks to an exhibit called Science in American Life at the National Museum of Natural History, you can. In this video, you'll meet four researchers who will acquaint you with the basics of biotechnology as it relates to health, agriculture, genetics, and fuel.

AIChE, through its Societal Impact Operating Council (SIOC), wants to establish a community of its members who are interested in using K-12 outreach as a way to spread the message about the positive impact that chemical engineers have on society, and about the great career opportunities that exist in our profession.

After years of research, Rice University researcher Pulickel Ajayan and his team have created a battery/supercapacitor hybrid that packs an entire lithium ion energy storage device onto a single nanowire.

You know biofuels, but what about electrofuels? Electrofuels are a category of highly efficient biofuel production schemes whereby algae and other microorganisms utilize solar-derived electricity, hydrogen, or metal ions to convert carbon dioxide to fuels. No petroleum or biomass needed.

If you're having trouble keeping up with the fast-paced changes in biofuels, the following ten blurbs and links should provide a useful snapshot of biofuel trends. Read on for more about the multitude of stunning new technologies and different feedstocks popping up around the globe; the emergence of third-generation biofuels; and the long slog ahead toward acceptance and commercialization.

The strategy behind marketing can be tied to the ChE Material & Energy balance: who do I go after, with what, and how, in order to maximize profit.

This Sunday, Discovery Network's Shark Week lunges and thrashes into your living room, leaving a predictably satisfying body count. This ritual promises to get a parched, drought-ridden nation through the long, dog-days of summer—and delivers.

Scientists have successfully flown the world's first 3D printed plane. Created entirely with printing technology, the plane went from design to completion in one week. Thanks to its novel manufacturing process, it has no fasteners and even its moving parts were printed all at once.

Skeptics once dismissed EnviroMission's desert Solar Tower as a visionary mirage, but now the huge energy project is on the verge of becoming reality, and, someday a world-class tourist magnet. Once completed, construction will begin on the project's 2,625-foot tower—just 390 feet shy of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Delivering power by 2015, its 200-megawatt capacity will feed the grid with enough energy for 150,000 US homes.
