Hydrogen Cars, Vehicles and Infrastructure
A couple of days ago I talked about South Korea’s Master Plan eco community on two islands to the north and west of Seoul. The South Korean Master Plan community involves the islands of KangHwa and OnJin-gun. Now, on a different island to the west of Seoul (and there are many islands around South Korea) […]

This engine will be part of the Ascender rocket engine which will be propelling space tourists into low earth orbit within the next 1 to3 years. The exhaust from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is steam and oxygen. Now, it’s no […]
Continue ReadingJust north and west of Seoul, South Korea, a company called Foster and Partners has won the right to develop a green master plan community on the islands of KangHwa and OnJin-gun. The sustainable master plan is supposed to be an extension of the Incheon Free Economic Zone. One of the islands, KangHwa, will be […]

Little was made of this at the time. Now, Daimler has announced that 200 Mercedes F-Cell B-Class hydrogen […]

This week there is another contest for hydrogen lovers being offered by the National Hydrogen Association (NHA). This photo contest […]
Continue ReadingSome people have pondered if the recent California budget cuts would affect the Hydrogen Highway program in the Golden State. The answer according to the California Hydrogen Highway Network (CaH2Net) is no. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has announced their plans to award grants to four new hydrogen refueling stations. The stations will offer […]
Continue ReadingIn April 2008, I had talked about how the University of Birmingham, UK was building the country’s only active hydrogen fueling station. The London station had been dismantled a few years earlier. The Birmingham hydrogen fueling station would support a few microcabs and presumably some of the 70 Honda FCVs that London had ordered as […]
Continue ReadingA few days back I talked about West Virginia opening the first leg (meaning hydrogen fueling station) of a hydrogen corridor from Charleston to Pittsburgh, PA. According to Kanawha County Commission President Kent Carper the vehicles they were considering to convert to run on hydrogen could be from the sheriff’s department, Solid Waste Authority, recycling […]
