Ford Motor Company is now running an experimental process where they are taking paint shop fumes and using them as fuel to run a fuel cell and generate electricity. At its Oakville, Ontario plant just a few miles across the U. S. and Canadian border from Detroit, Ford is capturing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) used [...]

A little less than a year ago, I talked about a hydrogen fuel cell Microcab H4 that was presented in London at the 10th Grove Fuel Cell Symposium. Now, five of these FC Microcabs have been presented to the University of Birmingham as part of a hydrogen fleet testing program. The hydrogen Microcabs will undergo [...]

The South African government has recently announced an investment of $49 million for research in hydrogen and in fuel cells. The government calls for 80-percent of the money to go towards expertise development and technology and the remaining 20-percent to be allocated for the private sector. The hydrogen research would be geared towards production using [...]

I’ve talked about HHO user groups before and in a way this is an expansion of that post. If you’ve been reading this blog you probably already know that I’ve been advocating for the somewhat controversial subject of hydrogen generators for cars. Over the past couple of months I’ve shown documents from the U. S. [...]

With hydrogen cars from Honda, GM, BMW and others hitting the roads, what can be more poetic than traffic signals powered by fuel cells? There are many remote traffic signals on the road that don’t have access to the power grid, so they must use batteries which must be changed quite often. SFC Smart Fuel [...]

Cyanobacteria genes (blue-green algae) have been shown by scientists to produce both hydrogen and ethanol. Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have found that a certain strain of cyanobacteria is on a circadian rhythm and has a rare linear chromosome. By day the blue-green algae works at photosynthesis including sugar production. By night, the [...]

Yesterday I talked about HGenerators and how they are developing their HGasStations hydrogen generators for home use and for use and at commercial fueling stations. Today, I want to talk about the company HGenerators has partnered with called Turbine Truck Engines who is testing their 5th generation Detonation Cycle Gas Turbine (DCGT) engine that has [...]

In the past, it was presumed that building a nationwide infrastructure of hydrogen fueling stations would cost around $2 million per station. Shell Hydrogen said this was the cost for their Washington DC H2 fueling station. According to USA Today, “Shell’s only existing hydrogen filling station, in the Washington, D.C., area, cost $2 million.” Since [...]
