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

Posted on by

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.

Solar catalyst captures methane to create pure hydrogen and carbon

Posted on by

Methane has a greenhouse effect 80 times worse than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period, and emissions are skyrocketing even as we start reducing CO2. That makes UCF’s new hydrocarbon-capturing, sunlight-powered catalyst a very compelling idea.Continu… Continue reading Solar catalyst captures methane to create pure hydrogen and carbon→

Coal’s green potential: storing energy instead of being burned for it

Posted on by

Coal is not generally thought of as a clean fuel source, but it might yet have a role to play in the push for greener energy. Researchers say that it could be a great material in which to store hydrogen gas, which is one of the most promising clean fue… Continue reading Coal’s green potential: storing energy instead of being burned for it→
