Heavier Loads With Hydrogen Retrofits
It’s the clean technology dilemma. Do you go for a completely new and efficient design, or do you try for an inexpensive way of retrofitting existing infrastructure? Or [...]
Storing Solar Energy Through Photosynthesis
The idea of using renewable energy to make renewable fuel is the best of both worlds. A new, stable artificial photosynthesis device doubles the efficiency of harnessing [...]
New Catalyst May Slash Fuel Cell Cost
While fuel cells have the potential to power many different kinds of vehicles and devices, widespread use has been limited by a number of factors. Besides refueling [...]
Researchers Float An Approach for Low-Cost, Sustainable Hydrogen
For carbon-free transportation, battery EVs are racing ahead while hydrogen-fueled vehicles are stuck in first gear. One key reason: most commercial hydrogen is produced from [...]
Creating Hydrocarbon Fuels with Solar Power and CO2
Regardless of how we feel about the issue, economic and policy forces dictate that hydrocarbon fuels will most likely be with us for at least the near term-future. Research [...]
Driving Solar to Hydrogen at Low Cost
An effective and low-cost solution for storing solar energy How can we store solar energy for period when the sun doesn’t shine? We already know that solar energy can be [...]
PNNL Solar-to-Syngas: Strong Economic Benefits for Utilities
Let’s face it, despite the growing strength of the renewables industry, central power plants are going to be with us for the foreseeable future. Until we can reduce costs [...]
A Benign Breakthrough for Green Hydrogen
While hydrogen “burns” clean, the methods to produce it have been anything but that. In a step towards a green hydrogen economy that complements other sustainable energy [...]
Indiana University: Using Bacteria to Produce Hydrogen Sustainably
One challenge of fuel cell technology is developing a cost-effective, easy-to-produce catalyst that aids the splitting of water molecules to produce the hydrogen fuel. Now, [...]
