H2Starfire engine: A new and insanely efficient type of rotary

Astron aerospace has shown a partial prototype of a new rotary combustion engine it claims runs at an extraordinary 60% thermal efficiency, burning totally clean with zero NOx emissions and nothing but fresh water out of the tailpipe.Continue ReadingCa… Continue reading H2Starfire engine: A new and insanely efficient type of rotary

Trillions of tons of buried hydrogen: Clean energy gold rush begins

There’s enough natural hydrogen trapped underground to meet all projected demands for hundreds of years. An unpublished report by the US Geological Survey identifies it as a new primary resource, and fires the starter pistol on a new gold rush.Continue… Continue reading Trillions of tons of buried hydrogen: Clean energy gold rush begins

H2Fly’s twin-fuselage aircraft makes world-first liquid hydrogen flight

Taking off from Maribor, Slovenia, the modified double-fuselage Pipistrel Taurus G4 made a historic first piloted flight running on cryogenic liquid hydrogen

Liquid hydrogen is a giant pain to handle, but it’s one of the few technologies with a genuine chance of decarbonizing long-range flight. So it’s huge news for clean aviation that H2Fly has now landed the word’s first piloted liquid hydrogen flight.

GAC China says it’s building “world first” ammonia engine for cars

Ammonia has been proposed as a clean fuel for ships, airliners, trucks and trains, but China’s GAC believes it could also have a future in passenger cars. It’s built a combustion engine to test the theory, capable of reducing emissions by around 90%.Co… Continue reading GAC China says it’s building “world first” ammonia engine for cars

Amogy plans world’s first ammonia-powered ship for 2023

Having already rolled out the world’s first ammonia-fueled tractor and the world’s first ammonia-fueled semi truck, Brooklyn company Amogy has now got hold of a 1957 tugboat, and plans to have the world’s first ammonia-powered ship sailing this year.Co… Continue reading Amogy plans world’s first ammonia-powered ship for 2023

World’s first ammonia-electric semi packs as much energy as the Tesla

Amogy has presented

Ammonia does a better job of storing hydrogen than hydrogen itself, in many ways, and it could help clean up some difficult industries that require high-density energy. Brooklyn company Amogy has now presented a world-first ammonia-powered semi truck.

High-frequency sound waves make electrolyzers produce 14x more hydrogen

RMIT researchers say they’ve unlocked cheaper, more energy-efficient green hydrogen production with a new electrolysis technique boosted by sound waves. With these high-frequency vibrations active, standard electrolysis produces 14x more hydrogen.Conti… Continue reading High-frequency sound waves make electrolyzers produce 14x more hydrogen

Revolutionary photocatalyst is huge news for green hydrogen and ammonia

A fundamental breakthrough in chemistry promises to unlock ammonia as a clean fuel, and it could help decarbonize the entire chemical industry in the process. Rice University researchers have created a small, LED-powered device that converts ammonia to… Continue reading Revolutionary photocatalyst is huge news for green hydrogen and ammonia

Hyperion plans to kickstart a H2 fuel network with mobile stations

Hydrogen supercar maker Hyperion isn’t happy about the state of hydrogen fuel infrastructure, so it’s decided to start building its own, rolling out yacht-styled mobile hydrogen stations across the United States that can generate fuel on-site.Continue … Continue reading Hyperion plans to kickstart a H2 fuel network with mobile stations
