The U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) has called for lightweight, high-performance fuel cell stacks to be an integral part in the upcoming hydrogen transportation system. TreadStone’s LiteCell technology is answering this call.
The LiteCell corrosion resistant metal plate technology allows fuel cell manufacturers to design and produce PEMFC stacks that are 40 to 50-percent lighter […]

In December 2007, I had talked about how the biggest threat to both hydrogen cars AND all-electric cars would be the plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Two days ago, I talked about how the California Air Resources Board (CARB), the same entity that killed the electric car, (according to the movie), would likely choose to kill […]

Last week I talked about Yellow taxis running on propane and the new Honda Civic GX CNG (compressed natural gas) vehicle that was making some people take notice. This has brought to mind the possibility of using the current natural gas infrastructure as a starting point for the hydrogen vehicle infrastructure.
Currently, most of the hydrogen […]

In October 2007, I had talked about how a group of researchers had discovered that fullerenes hold great promise for hydrogen storage. These nano-scale fullerenes (also known as buckyballs) are the subject of a new article published by researchers at Rice University in the upcoming journal Nano Letters from the American Chemical Society.
These large, carbon […]

A hydrogen power plant pilot project led by Akzo Nobel and NedStack in Delfzijl, The Netherlands has achieved a milestone of operating 4,000 operating hours. The chlor-alkali plant produces chlorine as its main product and generates hydrogen as a byproduct.
The hydrogen is then run through a fuel cell to generate electricity to supply power for […]

Hydrogen critics come and go with some making good points and other disseminating bad information. Every once in a while, I come across a website that is willfully distributing bad information about hydrogen that needs to be confronted.
Generally, I like “green” websites and blogs and travel to several every day to check out what people […]
