Hydrogen Cars, Vehicles and Infrastructure
Yesterday, I talked about an alternative hydrogen refueling infrastructure for cars and today I would like to talk about a “standard” hydrogen refueling infrastructure for long-haul trucks. A couple of weeks ago I went to the NHA Conference and took a look at the Vision Tyrano hydrogen fuel cell hybrid class-8 truck firsthand. The idea […]
Continue ReadingWhen building out the hydrogen highway system in California, New York, Washington DC, Florida or other places the conventional wisdom has to been either build an entire station from the ground up or add a hydrogen fueling pump to an existing gas station. In April 2008, I quoted Larry Burns of General Motors stating, “A […]
Continue ReadingYes, one of my favorite subjects to talk about is the Vision Tyrano truck (which I had the pleasure of checking out in person recently), because it is in class of its own, literally. The Tyrano is a heavy duty class 8 truck weighing 80,000 lbs that runs on compressed hydrogen gas and hybrid electric […]
Continue ReadingH2 Technologies Group out of Reno, Nevada is betting on a hydrogen fueled lawnmower engine it is developing and which is due out this summer. According to NNBW, “Small engines powered by hydrogen would produce no emissions. Today, the Environmental Protection Agency says one gas-powered lawnmower produces as much pollution as 11 cars. If their […]
Continue ReadingThere has been a press release circulating for the past couple of days by a company called GridShift Inc. that claims to have made an electrolysis breakthrough that will deliver compressed hydrogen fuel at around $2.51 per kilogram (equivalent to a gallon). This press release has met with some skepticism from sources such as Bnet.com. […]
Continue ReadingA company called ACTA is acting out, but in a good way and will not be sent to its room for a timeout. What ACTA is doing is pulling out all stops in regard to bringing hydrogen power products to market. In a recent announcement, ACTA said it will be using micro wind turbines and […]
Continue ReadingFuel Cells 2000 has put out an 89-page PDF report called “2010 State of the States: Fuel Cells in America” that is worth reading if you’re a hydrogen supporter. The report talks about how each of the 50 U. S. states plus Washington DC are advancing hydrogen and fuel cell development in their individual states. […]
Continue ReadingArchitect Vincent Callebaut likes to dream about the future. And when he does so he thinks about green architectural and technological solutions that will deal with global warming, greenhouse gases and the rise of ocean and sea levels. This Hydrogenase Project is based upon the futuristic thinking that one day there will be bio-hydrogen airships […]
Continue ReadingRarely do I post more than once in a day, but this one is just too good to sit on, so I thought I would send out a short notice here. General Motors’ Project Driveway, which has its own private message board is moving over to Facebook. The private Project Driveway private message board will […]
Continue ReadingI’ve talked about hydrail 13 times in the past and this will make the 14th time. Hydrail (hydrogen rail trains) is an often overlooked subject by the mainstream media, so I like to present it here. The Hydrail conference is both US and internationally focused as past gatherings have been held in places such as […]
