I would like to follow up to a blog posting from yesterday about converting cars to run on hydrogen where I had mentioned Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Incorporated as one of the leading companies in the field. After writing the blog post, I was able to catch up with Quantum’s Andy Abele, Executive Director, […]

With all the publicity about hydrogen fuel cell vehicles that has been bandied about in the media, what is often lost in the shuffle is that automobiles with internal combustion engines (ICE) can also be converted to run on hydrogen. A couple of businesses have been quietly converting cars and other vehicles to run on […]

I’ll be the first to admit that hydrogen power is not the only answer towards getting off the fossil fuel merry go round. Inefficiencies in coal-fired power plants need to be improved and alternative fuel and renewable energy resources need to be developed.
Toward this end, the Alternative Energy News website is taking to task how […]

I had blogged about this topic back in September 2006, but I want to follow up on this subject since it one day may offer a valuable alternative to what is available today.
The Department of Chemistry at Oxford University has discovered a biologically-based fuel cell (biofuel cell) that uses air spiked with 3-percent hydrogen to […]

Greek Scientists have won the European Commission’s Descartes award for research this year after developing the Hydrosol solar-hydrogen reactor. Researchers from the Center for Research and Technology Hellas (CERTH) and the Laboratory of Aerosol and Particle Technology (LAPT) discovered a novel way to produce hydrogen from sunlight and steam.
The Hydrosol system uses solar energy to […]

According to their press release, Alternate Energy Corporation (AEC) will be producing hydrogen in bulk in a clean and green manner without producing any CO2 emissions. This flies in the face of how hydrogen is typically produced by either reforming natural gas or plugging into the grid to electrolyze water, both of which results in […]

A few months back I had talked about how hydrogen peroxide could one day be used to fuel our future cars. I would like to now follow up on this topic. As previously stated, hydrogen peroxide has already been used to power a car in China, jet packs, rockets and racecars. Hydrogen peroxide has also […]

Middle school teachers in Ames, Iowa have received an education on hydrogen cars. This is thanks to the National Renewable Energy Lab and expert Rick Shin. The point of the exercise was to teach the teachers about miniature hydrogen cars so they could then go back to class and impart their knowledge to their students.
The […]
