For the first time ever, companies have agreed to share hydrogen through an existing natural gas pipeline. Companies Dow Benelux, Yara and ICL IP have agreed to share H2 through the Netherlands Green Deal Regional Hydrogen program. According to GasUnie, “Dow Benelux, Yara and ICL IP are planning to exchange hydrogen for industrial applications via […]

On January 30, 2014 I had talked about Air Products introducing its SmartFuel® hydrogen high pressure tube trailers. Now, across The Pond, I would like to talk about another company, Chesterfield Special Cylinders (CSC) introducing their hydrogen high pressure tube trailer. The Chesterfield tube trailers will be used to refuel hydrogen fueling stations in London. […]

The problem with hydrogen cars is not the cars themselves but the infrastructure needed to support them. And industrial gas supplier Air Products made a move that will help station owners using its hydrogen high pressure tube trailers. According to Automotive World, “This state-of-the-art SmartFuel® high pressure tube trailer features specialised composite cylinders for hydrogen […]

In November of 2011, I had talked about the German Energy Group E. ON storing hydrogen inside of natural gas pipelines. The idea was that wind turbines would electrolyze water and 5 – 15 percent hydrogen could be stored and moved through current natural gas pipelines for various uses for home, business and transportation. The […]

Last week I talked about Yellow taxis running on propane and the new Honda Civic GX CNG (compressed natural gas) vehicle that was making some people take notice. This has brought to mind the possibility of using the current natural gas infrastructure as a starting point for the hydrogen vehicle infrastructure. Currently, most of the […]

The California Fuel Cell Partnership in Sacramento, CA has put out a document called, “Progress and 2011 Actions for Bringing Fuel Cell Vehicles to the Early Commercial Market in California.” This document is an update of a similar one the CaFCP had put out in 2009 calling for specific actions to be taken to assure […]

Every once in a while someone will contact me with a unique idea where I feel compelled to publish it on this blog. Kim E. referenced an earlier post about hydrogen cooperatives and wanted to put her own spin on this idea. Kim E. “Co-op fuel stations, Co-op farm supply, farms, farms use the co-ops […]

In July 2006 I talked about how a Hawaiian hydrogen economy was in development. Depending upon who you ask, Hawaii imports 90 to 100-percent of its petroleum from outside of the islands. In November 2006, I had talked about how Hawaii’s first hydrogen fueling station was opening at Hickam Air Force Base that would be […]

Over the weekend I received an email from Jack E. where he proposes a unique method of distributing hydrogen fuel along a nationwide hydrogen highway network. I thought I would share his thoughts with you today: Jack E.: “I really support your effort to get the use of hydrogen going. I am going to be […]

Over the past few days I’ve talked about the South Wales Hydrogen Highway, the Scottish Hydrogen Highway and the ITM Power hydrogen fueling stations being built for the 2012 London Summer Olympics. About 10 months ago, I had also talked about how London’s Mayor Boris Johnson had reversed his decision in regard to introducing hydrogen […]
