The hydrogen loop: the means for making the hydrogen economy realistic
The hydrogen economy has already started with the introduction of the Ovonic nickel metal hydride battery, which has enabled the rapid growth of hybrid vehicles. Reversible storage of hydrogen in a solid hydride permits the entire loop of hydrogen generation, storage and use, all of which have been placed some time in the future. It is often stated that the hydrogen infrastructure does not exist ...

Hydrogen storage systems for automotive applications: project StorHy
Around two thirds of world's oil usage is associated with transportation with road vehicles consuming around 40%. Also, transportation accounts for around 25% of greenhouse emissions worldwide, with around 90% coming from road vehicles. This situation is further complicated by the fact that oil reserves are running out. For this reason, the automotive industry supported by relevant governing ...

How fire can be tamed
Combustion dies at the interface between breathable air and macroscopic pieces of certain involatile fuels. If fed only them, in a compressed oxygen chamber, it makes an almost sunlike flame that cannot run wild. If upon dilution to manageable coolness the ash drops to the chamber bottom, and from there can be removed without the diluent, true harnessbrokenness is possible. Excess oxygen can be ...

A Few Things You Should Know about Carbon fibers
Carbon fiber is a new type of fiber material with high strength and with a carbon content of more than 95%. It is a microcrystalline graphite material obtained by piling up organic fibers such as flake graphite microcrystals along the fiber axial direction, and then undergoing carbonization and graphitization treatments. Carbon fiber is a new material with excellent mechanical properties. Its ...

Car Makers Show off New Developments in Storing Solar Energy
On cloudy days and once the sundown is down, either a homeowner with solar panels to harness power is conserving their usage of electricity or they are back online with their utility providers. Carmakers claim to have an answer to this dilemma of storing solar energy in batteries for later use. Experimental Technologies in Homes A leader in the automobile industry, Honda, unveiled their ...

The Big Deal With FUEL CELLS
Hydrogen is increasingly seen as a fuel of the future. Globally, more than 65,000 fuel cells, totaling over 300 MW, were shipped worldwide in 2016. Introduction The third industrial revolution, according to American economic and social theorist Jeremy Rifkin, will create a prosperous economy powered by clean energy and the Internet of Things. Hydrogen will be leveraged as one of the critical ...

Urgently sought by business: more renewable energies
While some in politics and the public still believe that they are doing Greta a favor with more renewables, the calls of the economy for a much faster expansion of renewable energies are getting louder. Who are the actors and what is behind them? RE100 - global large companies want 100% Renewable The RE100 initiative I mentioned in the last blog, and was asked again to respond. This initiative ...

If we quit oil, then what?
Ditching oil would hugely increase electricity demand. Here’s why that’s a good thing for the environment. The recent oil pipeline spill in Santa Barbara has been an unfortunate case of déjà vu, bringing back collective memories of oil-slicked seabirds and blackened beaches. It came not long after President Obama approved oil exploration in the Arctic. These offer stark ...

Designing a sustainable hydrogen energy economy
A general vision of a sustainable energy economy relying substantially on hydrogen produced from renewables is sketched as a potential solution to the twin global crises of climate change and depleting oil reserves. Core differences between this 'sustainable hydrogen economy' (SHE) and the original hydrogen economy (HE) proposed in the early 1970s are discussed. In transport, rather than posing a ...

Key Objectives in Modern Fuel Cell Studies
What are Fuel Cells? Fuel cells use the chemical energy of hydrogen or an alternative fuel to cleanly and efficiently produce electricity. Using hydrogen as the fuel only produces water, heat, and electricity. Hydrogen (the fuel) is supplied continuously, unlike in a battery, and a dynamic equilibrium is maintained. ...

The diffusion of innovation and perceived risk for the adoption of alternative energy vehicles
Many researchers have studied alternative energy issues from a policy or industry viewpoint, but few have explored the consumer's beliefs and opinions. Since most applications of alternative energy are being developed for the consumer market, the consumer's acceptance and adoption of these new fuels and alternative energy vehicles are key factors to consider. This research studies the consumer's ...
