This is being reported as the world’s first mini RC fuel cell helicopter to take flight, but that is debatable since in June 2008 I had previously talked about the Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration IZM in Berlin, Germany creating an unmanned remote control mini helicopter powered by fuel cell. But, nonetheless, the United [...]

The Coke zero emissions Nissan X-Trail FCV was announced as a lease vehicle for the world’s largest carbonated beverage company at their Sacramento, California plant. This happens to be the first time that Nissan has leases a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle in the U. S. although they’ve already done so in Japan. Nissan has also [...]

Sun Catalytix has just received $1 million in venture capitol funding and is also expecting to receive an additional $4.1 million in funding to develop a catalyst that will help solar energy in homes split water into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen will then be used in two different ways. First, it will be run [...]

I received an email over the weekend from HyFLEET:CUTE outlining the successes of their hydrogen bus project that I would like to share with you. A couple of years ago I talked about how the HyFLEET:CUTE project was running multiple hydrogen buses in Europe, Asia and Australia. About a week ago, I talked about how [...]

Over the past few years it seems like I’ve talked about hydrogen fuel cells ad nauseam. I’ve spoken about fuel cells that are being developed with platinum nanowires, carbon, nitrogen, iron, doped nanotubes, mushroom enzymes, polymers, plastics, nickel, hydrazine hydrate and other enzymes. What I’ve neglected to talk about over time, however, is how researchers [...]

I’ve talked a few times before about the Vision Industries Tyrano Truck that is a combination of a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle and a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (HFCV-PHEV). A month ago I talked about how the hydrogen powered Tyrano was making a public appearance before California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in Sacramento. Well, now there [...]

Industry leader Proton Energy Systems will be working with the Hydrogen Education Foundation (the charitable arm of the National Hydrogen Association) to deliver $1 million total in scholarships to high school seniors who pursue higher education in science or technology. I’ve talked about Proton Energy Systems before as one of the world leaders in building [...]

Computer modeling is being used in an increasing numbers of cases in recent years to make predictions about different events and possible outcomes. NOAA uses computer modeling to predict the path and severity of hurricanes. A company called ESRI is currently using computer modeling to track and predict the outbreak of the H1N1 virus (swine [...]

Currently, hydrogen fuel cells for the transportation industry lend themselves well to fleet vehicles, forklifts and buses. These vehicles have a central hydrogen refueling station and don’t stray too far from this station. Across the continents, hydrogen fuel cell buses are rolling out in higher numbers. Take for instance the two hydrogen fuel cells buses [...]

There have been so many openings of hydrogen fueling stations in the past few years that now days I hardly take notice of another opening. But, the opening of the H2 fueling station in Copenhagen, Denmark has caught my attention and I’ll tell you why. Yesterday, Copenhagen opened its first hydrogen filling station, which gives [...]
