In Spain, a test field for a new method of safer, non-pollutant “bio-fuel” is looking more promising by the day. A groundbreaking company called Bio Fuel Systems (BFS) has actually mimicked the conditions that first created oil on earth. But instead of taking millions of years like it does naturally, the process is sped up [...]

There’s huge potential — over 2 terrawatts worldwide by some estimations — but, like other renewable energy sources, challenges remain. Viable commercial models for harnessing wave energy are still elusive (Portugal notwithstanding), and [...]
