Hydrogen Cars, Vehicles and Infrastructure
Yesterday I received a press release from ITM Power and was granted an exclusive interview with their CEO Dr. Graham Cooley. ITM Power sees its HFuel mobile hydrogen high pressure hydrogen refueling station as their headline product. The HFuel unit is self contained and modular so it can be picked up by truck and transported […]
Continue ReadingLarge industrial specialty gas company Linde has announced that they will be opening two new fast filling hydrogen stations in the San Francisco area (Emeryville and Oakland) to accommodate AC Transit fuel cell buses. Linde is using new ionic compressor technology in their stations that require less maintenance and less electricity to operate than previous […]
Continue ReadingLet’s make no mistake about it. The environmental disaster that is happening right now in the Gulf Coastal region is the worst oil spill in U. S. history. So, this begs the question (at least on this blog) as to where are all of the hydrogen cars and fueling stations along the Gulf Coast region […]
Continue ReadingOn May 6, 2010 I had talked about how Toyota was boasting they will be able to build $50,000 hydrogen fuel cell hybrid vehicles by the year 2015. Over the weekend Hyundai-Kia has taken up the gauntlet and stated that they can beat that price. In 2008, Hyundai- Kia rolled out the Kia Borrego FCEV […]
Continue ReadingHorizon Fuel Cell has put up for sale its new H-Cell 2.0 hydrogen hobby-grade remote control (RC) car that comes with a major redesign over the last version. Back in 2006, I had talked about the H-Cell 1.0 radio controlled RC that was good for its time. Besides more power and speed (the H-Cell 2.0 […]
Continue ReadingThe wonderful thing about hydrogen cars is that they can be like any other car. They can be street legal vehicles tooling down the city streets or taking a long road trip on the highways or they can be used as racecars. There are two different hydrogen racecar events that have caught my eye recently. […]
Continue ReadingNot often do I get the chance to utter the phrase, “hydrogen cars for sale” but today I do. Once before I was proud enough to day the phrase hydrogen truck for sale but now a “used” H2 car has come on the market. The hydrogen car for sale is a 1972 Gremlin that was […]
Continue ReadingBack in September 2009 I had talked about how 8 major companies had signed onto the H2 Mobility program that will involves erecting hundreds of hydrogen fueling stations throughout Germany by the year 2015. The H2 Mobility plan has now taken another step into the future. Clean Energy Partnership (CEP) members Statoil, Linde, and TOTAL […]
Continue ReadingOne of the problems of brute force electrolysis has always been the amount of energy it takes to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. The use of different kinds of metal or chemical catalysts, sound wave frequencies and other methods to loosen the bonds between hydrogen and oxygen atoms have met with encouraging success. And, […]
Continue ReadingWhen I had spoken with a couple of representatives from ITM Power a couple of weeks ago about revisiting the “green box” hydrogen home refueler and the possibility of using the same or similar refueling for the forklift market they were non-committal. This is because they had something up their sleeves and weren’t ready to […]
