Report: Japan’s “hydrogen society” policy is a “complete failure”

In 2017, Japan created a pioneering national hydrogen strategy, envisaging a carbon-neutral “hydrogen society.” But a Renewable Energy Institute report slams the policy as catastrophically misguided, with 70% of its 10-year budget “spent on bad ideas.”… Continue reading Report: Japan’s “hydrogen society” policy is a “complete failure”

China launches 100-mph hydrogen/supercapacitor train

The world’s largest rail vehicle manufacturer has rolled out a zero-emissions train running on hydrogen fuel cells with a supercapacitor buffer. The four-car train is capable of 100 mph (160 km/h), making it the fastest hydrogen train to date.Continue … Continue reading China launches 100-mph hydrogen/supercapacitor train

ZeroAvia celebrates maiden flight of world’s largest hydrogen aircraft

ZeroAvia’s 19-seat Dornier 228 has taken its first test flight in the UK. It’s a testbed for the company’s clean aviation technology, using a zero-emissions hydrogen-electric powertrain that’s slated for certification and commercial flights by 2025.Con… Continue reading ZeroAvia celebrates maiden flight of world’s largest hydrogen aircraft

Concentrated photosynthesis device promises cheap green hydrogen

We are a solar-powered planet; the vast majority of energy needed for life on Earth comes from the sun – and a lot of it, including food and fossil fuels, is the result of plant-based photosynthesis – the conversion of sunlight, water and carbon dioxid… Continue reading Concentrated photosynthesis device promises cheap green hydrogen

Hydrogen and UV breaks down toxic PFAS “forever” chemicals in water

PFAS are among the most insidious pollutants, thanks to their ubiquity, their long life and their growing list of linked health concerns. But now researchers at the University of California, Riverside have developed a new method to break them down more… Continue reading Hydrogen and UV breaks down toxic PFAS “forever” chemicals in water

Clever device efficiently splits hydrogen and lithium out of seawater

One problem with renewably-produced hydrogen is that it uses fresh water – and with a quarter of the world’s population already facing severe water scarcity at least one month of every year, freshwater is an ever more finite and precious resource. So t… Continue reading Clever device efficiently splits hydrogen and lithium out of seawater

H3 debuts all-in-one hydrogen powertrain pods for long-range flight

France’s H3 Dynamics has presented its self-contained hydrogen propulsion pods for retrofit or line fit to drones and airplanes. They deliver enormous range and endurance figures without heavy batteries, and they mirror the approach Airbus and others a… Continue reading H3 debuts all-in-one hydrogen powertrain pods for long-range flight

Hyundai To Lead US Market For Hydrogen Fuel Cell Trucks

Hydrogen has long been touted as a potential fuel of the future. While it’s failed to catch on in cars as batteries have taken a strong lead, it still holds …read more Continue reading Hyundai To Lead US Market For Hydrogen Fuel Cell Trucks

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

Toyota takes its hydrogen-burning race engine to the street

Toyota is keeping its bases covered moving into the zero-emissions era, and alongside battery EVs, hybrids, plug-in hybrids and hydrogen fuel cell electrics, it’s now announced a road-going hydrogen combustion concept for folk that want to go green wit… Continue reading Toyota takes its hydrogen-burning race engine to the street
