Hydrogen Cars, Vehicles and Infrastructure
Recent research suggests caffeine holds promise in improving fuel cell efficiency. Here’s a breakdown: Fuel cells: These are clean energy devices that convert chemical energy (often hydrogen) into electricity through an electrochemical reaction. Challenge: A crucial process within fuel cells, the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), is inefficient. This inefficiency necessitates expensive platinum catalysts, driving up […]
Continue ReadingThe 2025 Honda CR-V Fuel Cell is a notable addition to the CR-V lineup for a couple of reasons: it’s the first plug-in hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) available for lease in the US, and it boasts an impressive EPA-estimated driving range of 270 miles.expand_more Here’s a breakdown of its key features: Range: The biggest […]
Continue ReadingImagine a world where sensors in remote agricultural fields are powered not by batteries that need constant replacing, but by the very earth beneath them. This is the vision behind a groundbreaking new fuel cell that uses microbes living in soil to generate electricity. This isn’t your typical fuel cell, reliant on expensive […]
Continue ReadingUnfortunately, I cannot write a traditional review of the NamX Hydrogen car as it is not yet available for purchase or widespread testing. The car is still in the development phase, with its official launch expected sometime in 2024. However, I can share some insights based on the information that is currently available. Concept and […]
Continue ReadingHonda recently unveiled the hydrogen fuel cell module that will power the next-generation CR-V, set to go on sale in 2024. The new system is a significant improvement over the previous-generation fuel cell stack, with a 33% reduction in cost and a 100% increase in durability. It also features improved cold-weather performance, with startup times […]
