I always like reading about self-interested companies using other technology saying that hydrogen fuel cell technology is years away and that some form of battery is what businesses should buy for at least the next 10 years. This is exactly what is being said in this article. The main (erroneous) points the article makes are [...]

I’ve just read a press release about how SFC Energy AG and Sortimo International GmbH are teaming up to create a mobile power device that contains both fuel cell and lithium batteries. From my read of this press release (and I may be wrong) it sounds like this device will be using hydrogen inside the [...]

Last week I talked about ITM Power’s new HFuel portable hydrogen refueling station as potentially being a game changer in regard to quickly and easily rolling out hydrogen infrastructure as needed and where needed. This week, specialty gas manufacturer Air Products has also announced their spin on a new kind of hydrogen fueling station that [...]

I’ve talked several times in the past about using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as clean, zero emissions fuel for all kinds of vehicles including cars, jetpacks, planes, trains and even spacecraft. A little earlier this year another vehicle came onto the scene which is a hydrogen peroxide powered personal helicopter. The Avimech Dragonfly DF1 weighs just [...]

Hydrogenics is not a new player in the hydrogen field. They have successfully built electrolyzers for years. And over these years, Hydrogenics has improved efficiency, durability and brought down costs of its hydrogen generators. According to Hydrogenics, President and CEO Daryl Wilson, “This latest award will demonstrate a new design for Hydrogenics – our fifth [...]

I’ve talked about hydrogen forklifts before as well as palette trucks and other H2 vehicles within a large warehouse setting. I’ve also talked about some of the biggest players who are using these commercial hydrogen vehicles for the benefits of clean indoor air plus their ability to run for hours and short refueling times. This [...]
