The Linde Group, based in Munich, Germany is opening up the world’ first hydrogen fueling station for fuel cell ships in Hamburg’s City Park. In January 2008, I had talked about how Zemships (zero emission ships) would be cruising around the Hamburg harbor starting this summer. The first 100-passenger Zemship will carry passengers around both [...]

U. S. space agency NASA has been using hydrogen fuel cells since the 1960s to provide power for astronauts aboard their spacecraft. The hydrogen fuel cells have also provided drinking water for the space goers. UTC Power hydrogen fuel cells have been aboard all Space Shuttle flights with over 100,000 operating hours to their credit. [...]

I’ve talked several times before about the Hydrogen Engine Center in Algona, Iowa. For a couple of years now, this company has been building new internal combustion engines or reconditioning and retrofitting older engines to run on hydrogen and other alternative energy fuels. The Hydrogen Engine Center (HEC) has just received an order for a [...]

Tatra, a Czechoslovakian company, is the third oldest vehicle manufacturer in the world behind Daimler / Mercedes-Benz and Peugeot. Not to be confused with the ultra cheap Tata Motors from India, Tatra has come out with a new design concept (as in not yet a prototype) of a fuel cell vehicle called the 903 Fuel [...]

Formula Zero is a hydrogen fuel cell go-cart style racing venue initiated by Dutch designers, Godert van Hardenbroek and Eelco Rietveld. Today starts off the first day of the 2008 Formula Zero Championship also called the World Premiere Rotterdam FZ-GP. The [...]

Yesterday, I talked about the U. S. Department of Transportation document that says hydrogen injection, as they call it, is a viable source for supplementary fuel. Because this topic is so important I want to continue speaking of the DOT document and providing excerpts that show how seriously our government is taking this new, emerging [...]

Hydrogen fuel injection has been a topic of intense debate. Critics say that since they can’t wrap their heads around how it works, this means it simply can’t work. But, hydrogen generators for cars and trucks do work and the U. S. Department of Transportation (DOT) acknowledged this fact a year ago. In November 2007, [...]

Researchers at Ohio State University have found a way to cheaply turn ethanol or other biofuels into hydrogen gas with 90-percent efficiency. Now, this may not sound like such a big deal, but it really is. One of the most overwhelming issues surrounding building a hydrogen transportation system has been the building of the infrastructure. [...]

The Toyota Mark X Zio Hydrogen was playing a game of “I Spy” in Death Valley recently when these photos were taken apparently doing hot weather testing of its [...]
