Methanol fuel cells have been found to be an efficient and sustainable replacement for fossil fuels. The one thing preventing this device from hitting the mass market is its price since these devices need a catalyst made of platinum, a very expensive metal. However, a researcher from the University of Basque Country may have just the solution to drive the cost down. To find out more, head on over to the full article.

There's a hot little topic running in the socio-political, environmentalism picture, and it involves a regulation that the UK's Department for Transport has in mind for the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions.
