Air Products intends to build a production facility in Teesside, United Kingdom that will turn landfill waste into hydrogen gas. The hydrogen gas will be used to power as many as 50,000 homes and to refuel hydrogen cars at the Heathrow airport. The hydrogen refueling station opened recently at Heathrow airport and is now powering […]

On May 16, 2012 I had talked about HyperSolar Inc.’s new sunlight plus water equals hydrogen breakthrough technology that seems like it could be a breakthrough in the field. The solar cells are actually in the water where electrolysis takes place. And since the solar cells have a low cost polymer coating, any kind of […]

Michigan State University (MSU) researchers are working on helping farmers recover their farm’s waste and turn it into energy. The energy recovered will be in the form of hydrogen and biofuels which can be used around the farm to run equipment, machinery, vehicles and supply energy to the homes. According to MSU, “Gemma Reguera, MSU […]

On August 7, 2008 I had talked about NASA testing their hydrogen-powered VASIMR plasma rocket on the International Space Station. On April 17, 2009 I had talked about NASA building a renewable hydrogen fueling station in Cleveland, Ohio. If you were to check out this NASA page you will see how the U. S. space […]

Researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena have developed a new way to split water at low temperatures in order to create hydrogen and oxygen. While many scientists are working on ways to create hydrogen using solar panels or wind turbines, the Pasadena scientists are looking to create H2 gas using waste […]

A couple of weeks ago I had talked about how the Aberdeen, Scotland City Council was offering a hydrogen vehicle (Hyundai Tucson ix35) for their car-sharing members to test drive for free. This was the first time a car-sharing club had done such a feat. Now, in an effort to help out the Scottish pro-hydrogen […]

A company named HyperSolar, Incorporated has recently revealed a technological breakthrough in using solar plus water to produce hydrogen. And the kicker is that any kind of water, dirty to clean can be used in this process. How does the breakthrough technology do this? The solar electrolysis of water starts at the nanoscale in order […]

I’ve talked about the artificial leaf many times before as a novel idea in which significant amounts of hydrogen could be produced. In fact, in March of 2011, I had talked about a researcher named Daniel Nocera, Ph.D. who had created such an artificial leaf and was putting the polishing touches on it. Today, however […]

Yesterday I had talked about how a senior chemist, Radoslav Adzic, at the Brookhaven National Laboratory (run by the DOE) had won the 2012 Inventor of the Year Award for his work with reducing the amount of platinum needed in fuel cells. Well, today the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) has some more big news this […]

Both Linde and TOTAL have taken a step in reducing the world’s carbon footprint by supplying green hydrogen to fuel cell vehicles in Germany this past week. Both companies are producing hydrogen from clean and renewable resources. According to Linde, “The hydrogen generated from biodiesel by-products at the company’s pilot plant in Leuna, Germany, was […]
