It looks like the world won’t be able to produce enough lithium to feed the accelerating EV revolution. Not by a long way. And while we see all manner of alternative battery technologies in our line of work, it’s not clear that within the next 5-10 yea… Continue reading Awesome-looking SUV cleverly sidesteps hydrogen’s biggest problem
Pedal-assist bikes are proving a popular choice for folks looking to get to work, do the weekly shop or just go for a leisurely ride. But most offer a fairly limited motor-assisted range and long wait times when charging up the batteries. France’s Prag… Continue reading Alpha Neo ebike looks to hydrogen fuel cells to power commutes
Rolls-Royce has edged the era of clean aviation a little closer to take-off with the successful testing of a modern jet engine using hydrogen as fuel. The test is described as a landmark achievement and an important step in the decarbonization of the i… Continue reading Rolls-Royce fires up its first hydrogen jet engine
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
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
A fuel cell is almost like a battery that has replenishable fuel. Instead of charging a battery with an electric current, you recharge a fuel cell with something like hydrogen …read more Continue reading Fuel Cell Catalyst: Less is More
Hydrogen sulfide famously stinks like rotten eggs, and contributes that eye-watering, low-hanging punch to the bouquet of the very worst farts. It’s also toxic, corrosive, flammable and produced in large amounts as an expensive-to-treat by-product at p… Continue reading Light-powered catalyst makes profitable hydrogen from stinky waste gas
UNSW researchers have prototyped and tested a retrofit system that converts diesel engines to run on 90% hydrogen, radically reducing both carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide emissions while boosting efficiency by an impressive 26% in the process.Continue… Continue reading Retrofit system converts existing diesel engines to run on 90% hydrogen
Texan company Cemvita is promising clean hydrogen at less than US$1/kg, after testing a fascinating new technique in the lab and the field. The idea is to pump specially developed microbes into depleted oil wells, where they’ll eat oil and excrete hydr… Continue reading Oil-eating microbes excrete the world’s cheapest “clean” hydrogen
German steel giant Thyssenkrupp is investing US$1.9 billion in a hydrogen-powered direct-reduction system that can create high-quality steel without needing the rare, high-grade iron ore required by most green steel processes. This could open the flood… Continue reading Thyssenkrupp may have just cleared the path to bulk green steelmaking
