Within fuel cells there are so many energy conversions involved in producing hydrogen and then turning it into electricity, that the overall efficiency of the process is lost, and then you still need a battery to provide that instantaneous burst of power…so if we’re going to have a battery, why not justContinue Reading
Many people believe that hydrogen is “the fuel of the future” and is going to be useful in the transportation sector (or the electricity sector, for that matter) outside of niche applications. However, the following chart is one of the clearest explanations of why H2 cars fueled by “green hydrogen”Continue Reading
Spinach, is not just good for human health, but for the environment as well. Researchers have found that Spinach, doesn’t just provide energy in humans but it also has the potential to help power fuel cells. When converted from its leafy, edible form into carbon nanosheets, it acts as aContinue Reading
Hyperion, a new Southern California clean tech startup is looking to transform transportation from the ground all the way on up to space with its new hydrogen-powered technology. They plan to unveil their first product — a hydrogen-powered supercar know as XP-1 — next month via a live-streamed event. HyperionContinue Reading
This could be big for Hyundai. That’s because the first examples of its hydrogen fuel cell semis are on their way to Switzerland as you read this story. It’s real! “XCIENT Fuel Cell” is a present-day reality, not a mere future drawing board project. By putting this groundbreaking vehicle onContinue Reading
Since it first began operation in April 2017, the Project Portal “Alpha” truck has logged nearly 10,000 miles of testing and real-world drayage operations in and around the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles in California while emitting nothing but water vapor. With a gross combined weight capacity ofContinue Reading
Researchers at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia have created a prototype of an alternative battery that runs on carbon and water. This is the first-ever rechargeable proton battery, an energy storage solution that runs off on cheap, environmentally friendly materials. But why do we need to change the way weContinue Reading
With fuel cell electric vehicles coming to the market, many consumers think that fuel cells are only used in cars. Think again. Fuel cells can be scaled to meet many different energy conversion or power needs. From primary stationary power and combined heat and power applications to powering cell phonesContinue Reading
