Now, many people probably haven’t heard about laser hydride compact disc (CD) storage before. I know that I hadn’t before I stumbled across a company called Plasma Kinetics.
Sure, there are many ways to store hydrogen including metal hydride containers which can be quite heavy, compressed hydrogen tanks which are extremely insulated and built to withstand [...]

It’s Groundhog’s Day, again. And as a sign of the times, the famous Punxsutawney Phil stepped out of his burrow, saw his shadow and apparently text messaged all of this friends that there will be six more weeks of winter.
Now, just as Phil text messaging all of his friends doesn’t seem to go together, neither [...]

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 additional [...]

University of Massachusetts, Amherst scientists have discovered a new way of storing hydrogen that may reduce fuel tank size to that of a briefcase. Using computer modeling and carbon nanotube technology that researchers have shown that it is possible to design a hydrogen storage tank that stores nearly 100-percent H2 atomically plus nearly 8-percent by [...]

Earlier this year I had talked about using ammonia borane (H3NBH3) as a chemical carrier for hydrogen. Ammonia borane is a white power that is rich in hydrogen and the H2 can be easily disassociated from the remaining material.
Ammonia borane as a solid is also easily transportable and would do away with the idea of [...]

Researchers at Purdue University have developed a heat exchanger for hydrogen storage tanks that will help manufacturers take one step closer towards commercialization of hydrogen cars. Filling up a hydrogen car in 5 minutes while giving it a range of 300 miles are the goals of many manufacturers.
One of the problems associated with metal hydride [...]

One of the largest hydrogen gas suppliers in the world, the Linde Group has come up with new hydrogen compression technology that it will be introducing at the National Hydrogen Association 20th Annual Conference in Columbia, SC on March 30 to April 3, 2009.
I’ve talked about the Linde Group before as the first company to [...]

The U. S. Department of Energy has announced that it will deliver up to $15.3 million for 10 different hydrogen storage solution projects. The money is part of President Bush’s Hydrogen Fuel Initiative that I’ve talked about several times before.
These cost-shared programs intend to find novel storage solutions for hydrogen. One of the most novel [...]

A Toyota Prius hybrid retrofitted to run on liquid hydrogen by researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has traveled 650 miles on one tank. The researchers have designed a cryogenic tank without the typical boil-off problem as is present in other current low temperature liquid hydrogen tanks.
The cryogenic tanks hold 150 liters of LH2 [...]

C.En (Clean Energy) of Israel has discovered a new way to store hydrogen that will aid in the acceleration of rolling out hydrogen cars en mass to the public. While other manufacturers are using heavy metals, carbon fiber or metal hydrides to store hydrogen gas, C.En has figured out a way to use glass to [...]
