I've come across yet another green blog -- this one focused on the concept of green design. Inhabitat.com reports today about a new concept announced last week by the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Using existing nuclear facilities, a carbon-based fuel could be produced through an electro-chemical process. The carbon would be drawn from the air, and the fuel would be carbon-neutral and sulfur-free. Initially, the intention would be to use the fuels in transportation and industry.
The press release from the Los Alamos National Laboratory can be read here.
Essentially, the new fuel sounds like a battery for the storing and easy transportation of energy. However, the question remains whether nuclear power is a viable, safe and green technology. I have to wonder if other forms of electrical production could also be used to facilitate the production of this fuel.
