While hydrogen’s high energy per mass makes it an excellent fuel, it’s awfully hard and expensive to store long-term. That could change, thanks to the work of researchers at Switzerland’s ETH Zurich. They’ve worked out a way to store hydrogen in ordina… Continue reading Hydrogen stored in iron: A cheap, scalable grid battery for the winter
In theory, water and electric current will cause electrolysis and produce oxygen and hydrogen as the water breaks apart. In practice, doing it well can be tricky. [Relic] shows an …read more Continue reading Pulling Hydrogen out of the Water
A team at MIT led by [Professor Douglas Hart] has discovered a new, potentially revelatory method for the generation of hydrogen. Using seawater, pure aluminum, and components from coffee grounds, …read more Continue reading Hydrogen Generation with Seawater, Aluminum, and… Coffee?
Hydrogen-producing artificial leaves might soon be even better at their jobs thanks to a new study that examined the effects of pressure on the chemical processes they run. It all comes down to bubbles.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, ScienceTags: Sol… Continue reading Pressure boost squeezes out more hydrogen from artificial leaves
MIT scientists have discovered an intriguing new way to produce hydrogen fuel, using just soda cans, seawater and coffee grounds. The team says the chemical reaction could be put to work powering engines or fuel cells in marine vehicles that suck in se… Continue reading Seawater-slurping hydrogen reactor able to power a sub for 30 days
Hydrogen shows a lot of promise as a powerful, clean fuel source – as long as the process that creates it is also green. A new report shows how tough it might be to get to truly green hydrogen, while a new study removes a barrier to its creation.Contin… Continue reading Green hydrogen breakthrough swaps in water for iridium
Scientists have discovered the potential existence of a bizarre new molecule related to water. Dubbed “aquodiium,” this ion could form under extreme conditions and may explain some of the weirdness of our solar system’s ice giant planets.Continue Readi… Continue reading Alien ion of water may explain why Uranus is so weird
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured direct images of galaxies being born at the cosmic dawn. This is the first time this has ever been witnessed by astronomers, confirming models for galaxy formation.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTags… Continue reading James Webb captures first direct images of galaxies born at Cosmic Dawn
A luxury superyacht is the testbed for green hydrogen technology as the ship, formally known as Project 821, is put in the water at Feadship’s Amsterdam base. It’s the largest motor yacht ever launched in the Netherlands.Continue ReadingCategory: Energ… Continue reading World’s first superyacht to run on hydrogen
You have to throw some energy away to make hydrogen – typically around 20-30%, even with the best systems, which use around 52.5 kWh of energy to create a kilogram of hydrogen that can store 39.4 kWh of energy. It’s a waste of renewable energy, and it contributes to the high cost of a green fuel option that’s really struggling to compete against fossils and batteries in many applications.
