A Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) hydrogen train (hydrail) rolled into Southern California this week to meet Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. The hydrail locomotive is powered by hydrogen fuel cell plus hybrid technology. Now, it’s a sign of the times when Governor Schwarzenegger tweeted about his experience on Twitter. The H2 locomotive is a switch locomotive [...]

Two weeks ago Proton Energy Systems and SunHydro announced plans to build a public hydrogen fueling station in Wallingford, Connecticut. This week SunHydro announced the plans to build an East Coast Hydrogen Highway system. Presumably this would exclude other companies that build hydrogen fueling stations since 4 operational hydrogen fueling stations in New York, and [...]

Okay, I’ll admit this is a stretch from the usual talk about hydrogen cars and vehicles. Let’s chalk this one up to “hydrogen transportation” or at least “hydrogen assisted transportation”. In the past, I’ve talked about the Honda ASIMO robot powered by fuel cell and a bionic arm powered by hydrogen peroxide. So, now when [...]

Now, at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show, Toyota has said they will make “affordable” hydrogen FCVs available to the public by 2015. According to Toyota North America spokesman, Irv Miller, [...]

The University of South Carolina Hydrogen Hybrid Bus is leaving the moderate temperature of the South and heading towards the much less forgiving temperatures of Vancouver, Canada in time for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Back in November 2009, I had talked about how hydrogen buses commissioned in Canada were starting to arrive for the 2010 [...]

I’ve talked before about researchers at the University of Rochester in New York using artificial photosynthesis to create hydrogen. Now, researchers in China at the Shanghai Jiao Tong University are taking a slightly different tactic to produce hydrogen by developing artificial leaves. For several years now other scientists have been using sunlight through solar panels [...]
