Hydrogen Cars, Vehicles and Infrastructure
Offers information, news and opinion covering the hydrogen fuel production methods being developed.
Yesterday I talked about the NEL P-60 electrolyser unit for creating hydrogen via electrolysis of water. Today I have some new information regarding the NEL P-60. I’ll be the first to admit that the P-60 isn’t as inexpensive as I had first assumed. Mr. Atle Taalesen, the Regional Sales Director / Nordic, Baltic & North […]
Continue ReadingWell, you just got to pee it to believe it. That’s what some schoolgirls in Nigeria, Africa are saying. They have created an electrolytic cell that takes in urine and outputs hydrogen. The teenage girls presented their new invention at the Maker Faire Africa 2012 in Lagos, Nigeria. The girls are Bello Eniola (15), Akindele […]
Continue ReadingIn January of 2010 I talked about the University of Rochester in New York creating artificial leaves for hydrogen production. Now the same university is putting a slightly different bend on hydrogen production from a slightly different angle. The catalyst for the artificial photosynthesis process doesn’t use platinum or any other expensive metals. Instead the […]
Continue ReadingSometimes when you get stuck at an impasse in regard to technological progress it is worth taking a look into the past to see what had worked then. And this is just what John Turner of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is doing is regard to creating hydrogen from water and sunlight. In 1998 […]
Continue ReadingI’ve talked about the company HyperSolar a couple times in the past as a company dedicated to making direct solar to hydrogen systems. The photocatalyst the company has invented is immersed into water and then a light source is turned upon it, resulting in hydrogen production. The Photocatalytic water splitting technique developed by HyperSolar is […]
Continue ReadingBack in September 2010 I had written an article about how researchers at Kettering University developed an invention to use poop and urine to create hydrogen gas. In August 2011, I had talked about Fountain Valley, California doing the same thing. And, yes, it seems a little disgusting, too. Now the Japanese have invented a […]
Continue Readingby guest blogger, Stan Thompson Long before the California Gold Rush, there was a North Carolina Gold Rush. The land right under the feet of President Obama and delegates to the 2012 Democratic National Convention was riddled with ancient gold mining tunnels. Mine waste tailings were so plentiful that eventually they were used as construction […]

Sutton was a notoriously successful bank robber—the original “Slick Willie.” His notoriety earned him a famous, though apocryphal, interview […]
Continue ReadingI’ve talked many times about researchers using cobalt in either fuel cells to produce electricity or to produce hydrogen from water. In August 2008 I had talked about how researchers at MIT had turned to cobalt and phosphate to produce cheap and abundant hydrogen. Now researchers at University of Cambridge in the UK have made […]
Continue ReadingOn August 9, 2012 I had talked about how Air Products was planning on turning wastewater to hydrogen in the United Kingdom. Today I would like to talk about how researchers at Oregon State University (OSU) are planning on turning wastewater to hydrogen in the United States. According to OSU, “The new technology developed at […]
