I’ve talked about ammonia possibly being a feedstock for fuel cell vehicles and H2 ICE vehicles a few times in the past. New breakthrough technology bodes well for ammonia in the future. According to The Engineer, “British scientists have proposed a way of making it easier and cheaper to run hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles by filling • Read More »

I’ve talked a handful of times in the past about using a chemical carrier for hydrogen such as ammonia borane (AB) as perhaps an easier method in which to build an infrastructure around and get the needed H2 gas to fuel cells. Apparently a group of researchers at USC in California had the same thought • Read More »

I’ve talked about using ammonia fuel many times in the past. Ammonia could be a worthy chemical carrier for hydrogen (which is combustible) along with nitrogen (which is not combustible). The only tailpipe emissions from burning ammonia (NH3) would be heat, some water vapor and nitrogen. There could also be a small amount of nitrous • Read More »

I’ve talked about using ammonia borane as a chemical carrier for hydrogen about a half a dozen times in the past. Now, two universities have made discoveries and innovations that involve ammonia borane as a way to deliver hydrogen on demand. Take for instance the researchers at the University of Alabama who have teamed up • Read More »

My most recent post about using ammonia borane as a chemical carrier of hydrogen for fuel cells was posted in September 2009. In fact, I’ve talked about the possibility of using ammonia borane several other times in the past as well. On of the disadvantages of using ammonia borane as a chemical carrier of hydrogen • Read More »

I’ve talked many times about either using ammonia or aluminum compounds as a chemical carrier for hydrogen and large scale production of H2 gas. Now scientists in separate facilities are excited about their findings in both of these areas. Researchers at the DOE’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have discovered that combining ammonia borane (H3NBH3), • Read More »

A year and a half ago I talked about how ammonia borane (H3NBH3) was being looked at as a hydrogen-rich chemical carrier for fuel cell applications. This week, small portable fuel cell maker Jadoo Power Systems was given a contract by the U. S. Air Force to develop ammonia borane pellets for hydrogen generation. Using • Read More »

I’ve talked about ammonia as fuel for motor vehicles in the past, but it’s too good of a subject so I’d like to talk about it again (thanks to John H. from Richland, WA for spurring this discussion). Back in the 1980s, Canadian Greg Vezina powered his 1981 Chevy Impala with NH3 (ammonia). He even • Read More »
