Hydrogen Cars, Vehicles and Infrastructure
Normally, I would talk about these two subjects in different blog posts. But, I wanted to show first how much time, energy and money is being spent on coming up with cost effective hydrogen production solutions and second the variety of methods companies are using in aggressively pursuing the hydrogen production issue. First, I would […]
Continue ReadingEven through bankruptcy proceedings, General Motors did not abandon its fuel cell vehicle (FCV) program. And now that the overall company is back on track, more progress is being announced inside of Project Driveway. There was a hint of this as last week I received an email saying there would be a big Project Driveway […]
Continue ReadingAccording to CEO Ronny Bar-Gadda of Genesys LLC there is a new technology that he’s invented called RET (radiant energy transfer) that is a breakthrough in producing hydrogen from water. According to Mr. Bar-Gadda, this may just be the disruptive technology the H2 community has been waiting for in regard to producing cost effective hydrogen […]
Continue ReadingSometimes I like to tool around the Internet looking for hydrogen resources that may have flown under the radar of the mainstream media. In the U. S. there are many programs that are being developed simultaneously, especially different kinds of hydrogen roadmaps and state’s initiatives. So, I thought I would outline a few of the […]
Continue ReadingNow this may sound like something dreamed up in a mad scientist’s laboratory, but a few wacky researchers at the Korea Aerospace Research Institute have come up with an idea of using a giant kite pulling a ship at sea to create hydrogen. How this is proposed to work is that a 6 1/2 million […]
Continue ReadingHere’s a blast from the past. I want to take you back to 1999 when the Gillette Mach 3 Challenger motorcycle broke the land speed record running on hydrogen peroxide and aluminum and hit the record mark of 365 miles per hour at the Bonneville Salt Flats. In the past, I’ve talked many times about […]
Continue ReadingThe Melbourne Taxi 2020 Concept was created by Damian Lucaciu, a student designer from the RMIT University, Australia. The project involved the computer design of a green alternative fuel vehicle that would help clean up the streets of Melbourne. The eco-friendly Taxi 2020 Concept was designed to be both green, (using hydrogen fuel cell, lithium […]
Continue ReadingIn April 2008, I talked about Boeing putting the first manned fuel cell powered aircraft into flight. And there have been many times in the past 4 years (yes, the blog is that old), that I’ve talked about hydrogen powered unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). A new liquid hydrogen-powered UAV which is also a high altitude […]
Continue ReadingThe Clean Energy Partnership (CEP) is said to be the world’s largest demonstration project for hydrogen cars and hydrogen refueling infrastructure. Some of the member companies of the CEP include Aral/BP, Berlin Public Transport (BVG), BMW, Daimler, Ford, GM/Opel, Hydro, the Linde Group, Total, Vattenfall Europe and the Volkswagen Group. Now, the CEP will have […]
Continue ReadingA Japanese research marketing firm, the Fuji-Keizai Group, predicts a 99-fold increase in the use of hydrogen fuel cells in Japan between now and 2025, an increase of $17.7 billion USD. Housing fuel cell systems and hydrogen cars will account for most of the increases. From now, to 2025, the trend is supposed to reverse […]
