Archives: Hydrogen Fuel

Hydrogen paste may be an alternative hydrogen fuel for fuel cell vehicles to filling up with compressed hydrogen gas. Created by The Fraunhofer Institute, this particular substance has become noted as a ‘revolutionary’ development in the auto industry. How would hydrogen paste work in practice? The process would mean that instead of having to fill • Read More »

I’ve been talking about the world-changing effect that natural hydrogen could have on the world green economy since at least 2013. It’s easy to see why the use of naturally occurring hydrogen could be world-changing. With the clock ticking on making sure we can become more sustainable ASAP, the development of hydrogen is very much • Read More »

For years, talk of being able to turn to hydrogen as an energy source has been seen as a holy grail. The main reason for having doubts about using natural hydrogen as a fuel came from the limits in finding hydrogen that occurs in nature in high purity. However, over time and after much research • Read More »

A report from Bloomberg says that hydrogen fuel might be about to become a lot cheaper than it presently is. Hydrogen gas production costs are falling, and experts predict that in the years to come it will continue to see hydrogen become cheaper and cheaper. The cost of producing hydrogen for cars has been historically • Read More »

  In 2009, geologists discovered a new, previously unknown natural phenomenon: some places on the Earth’s crust were seeping hydrogen gas. Hydrogen is odorless, invisible, tasteless, non-toxic, and, the most important, a very diffusive gas. This may explain why hydrogen in such places was not recognized earlier. This gas seeps out over very wide areas, • Read More »

In 2009, I talked about how naturally occurring hydrogen is being leaked from the earth’s crust in Russia (see image at top), Europe and a few other places. I posited that one day this free hydrogen gas could one day be used to fuel cars. In 2011, I asked the rhetorical question of whether or • Read More »

  I occasionally get asked from battery electric vehicle (BEV) advocates about putting electricity directly into BEVs instead of using it to electrolyze water and create hydrogen for FCVs (fuel cell vehicles). Simply put, hydrogen is a better battery. Here are some other reasons to use electricity to produce hydrogen for cars: If you use • Read More »

  Over the years, I’ve heard more than a few naysayers and critics exclaim, “But, I don’t want to drive using hydrogen!” And my response has been, “I reality, you already are.”   Here are a few facts about driving vehicles and using hydrogen: Hydrogen fuel cell cars use compressed hydrogen gas for fuel Some • Read More »
