Hydrogen Cars, Vehicles and Infrastructure
The Melbourne Taxi 2020 Concept was created by Damian Lucaciu, a student designer from the RMIT University, Australia. The project involved the computer design of a green alternative fuel vehicle that would help clean up the streets of Melbourne. The eco-friendly Taxi 2020 Concept was designed to be both green, (using hydrogen fuel cell, lithium […]
Continue ReadingIn April 2008, I talked about Boeing putting the first manned fuel cell powered aircraft into flight. And there have been many times in the past 4 years (yes, the blog is that old), that I’ve talked about hydrogen powered unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). A new liquid hydrogen-powered UAV which is also a high altitude […]
Continue ReadingThe Clean Energy Partnership (CEP) is said to be the world’s largest demonstration project for hydrogen cars and hydrogen refueling infrastructure. Some of the member companies of the CEP include Aral/BP, Berlin Public Transport (BVG), BMW, Daimler, Ford, GM/Opel, Hydro, the Linde Group, Total, Vattenfall Europe and the Volkswagen Group. Now, the CEP will have […]
Continue ReadingA Japanese research marketing firm, the Fuji-Keizai Group, predicts a 99-fold increase in the use of hydrogen fuel cells in Japan between now and 2025, an increase of $17.7 billion USD. Housing fuel cell systems and hydrogen cars will account for most of the increases. From now, to 2025, the trend is supposed to reverse […]
Continue ReadingOver the past few years, I’ve talked many times about the merits of combining aluminum and water to create hydrogen. Researchers have been working on using aluminum both inside and outside the car for such hydrogen on demand production. Some of these methods involve using either an aluminum alloy or aluminum, water and some other […]
Continue ReadingNext week at the Geneva Motor Show, the Hyundai Tucson ix35 hydrogen fuel cell vehicle is being shown off in anticipation of its limited rollout in 2012. And it is about time for an extreme makeover (Okay, perhaps just a moderate upgrade). The Hyundai Tucson FCEV was first introduced in 2004. The vehicle had a […]
Continue ReadingLast week I talked about the price of converting fossil fueled vehicles into H2ICE cars. So, this week I thought I would follow up and talk about the price at the pump of hydrogen fuel to consumers. Right now, consumers can convert their own cars, trucks and other vehicles to run on hydrogen. Or they […]
Continue ReadingI’ve talked about this before but I haven’t talked about it in a while and there is an update in regard to converting cars, trucks or vans to run on hydrogen gas. Now, converting an internal combustion engine (ICE) to run on hydrogen is not quite as clean out the tailpipe as a fuel cell, […]
Continue ReadingAccording to Pike Research, which is a marketing and consulting firm in the green tech field that offers in-depth analysis on a wide variety of alternative energy subjects, there will be 2.8 million fuel cell vehicles on the roads by the year 2020. The report titled “Fuel Cell Vehicles: Light Vehicles, Medium/Heavy-Duty Trucks, Transit Buses, […]
