http://www.biofuelswatch.com/water-and-energy/Water and energy January 1st 2010Water molecules themselves being comprised of hydrogen and oxygen atoms contain a number of electrons and free-floating ions that store large amounts of energy that can be easily broken down and reassembled as need be. These electrons and ions form the basis of many processes requiring water for energy, including chemical reactions within living organisms or in power generation facilities that utilize water in a variety of ways. Other forms of water such as molecular isotopes that---In 2003 researchers in Canada at the University of Alberta discovered a new method for tapping into this energy without needing to force water through a turbine or use other moving parts to generate power. They discovered that as water passes over any solid surface a microscopic barrier created by the ions within water is formed, and using micro-channels they were able to tap into this energy source to convert the ion energy into electrical current. This has been the first “new” discovery of energy production from water for in the past 160 years and has led to many new renewable energy applications, including the commercial application of water being used to power simply electronic devices such as clocks.

Nissan hydrogen car fuels up on region's innovation12/05/2009
A pioneering green fuel filling station in Birmingham has attracted the Nissan X-Trail FCV (hydrogen fuel cell vehicle), which recently topped up during a test drive in the Midlands.
The global vehicle manufacturer wanted to extend the length of its FCV test drives on public highways and chose to bring the vehicle to the region specifically because the hydrogen filling station is located here, at the University of Birmingham.
The filling station is one of only a handful across the country and has been developed through a £6.2million Hydrogen Energy Project, which is funded by Advantage West Midlands through Birmingham Science City.

Researchers have figured out how to directly couple a cheap and simple photovoltaic system to an equally cheap and simple catalyst that can split water, releasing hydrogen that can be used as fuel.
From solar energy to hydrogen: there's no step two
November 24, 2009
Cobalt phosphate catalysts, which form spontaneously and split water (releasing hydrogen) when provided with an electric current, may satisfy many of these requirements, and a paper released by the Proceedings of the National Academies of Science described a way to simplify cobalt-based systems even further.
We've been tracking the cobalt catalysts since they first appeared in the scientific literature. The constituent materials are cheap and readily soluble in water. Run a current through the solution, and an amorphous form of cobalt phosphate will form on the electrodes. Once in place, further current will catalyze the breakdown of water into hydrogen and oxygen, which can be stored for later use and recombined in a fuel cell, producing usable electricity.
The process isn't necessarily efficient, but it doesn't have to be, according to its chief proponent, MIT's Daniel Nocera. Since it's cheap, robust, and can operate with just about any source of water available, it's perfect for the developing world (where the pure water that comes out of a fuel cell is a big plus).

A nonreactive noble gas called xenon combined with hydrogen and other massive pressure gives rise to a solid that can be later used to store hydrogen fuel. The research paper is published in the November 22, 2009, advanced online publication of Nature Chemistry. The discovery initiates a new line of materials that which could render impetus to new hydrogen technologies.
Xenon is used as an anesthesia, to preserve biological tissues, and it is also used in lighting. Being a noble gas xenon does not typically react with other elements. Researchers used a diamond anvil device to squeeze together xenon and hydrogen.
The lead author Maddury Somayazulu, research scientist at Carnegie’s Geophysical Laboratory, explained: “Elements change their configuration when placed under pressure, sort of like passengers readjusting themselves as the elevator becomes full. We subjected a series of gas mixtures of xenon in combination with hydrogen to high pressures in a diamond anvil cell. At about 41,000 times the pressure at sea level (1 atmosphere

MAPLE CROSS, UNITED KINGDOM –-On Tuesday 23rd June 2009, Nissan European R&D hosted a meeting at the Nissan Technical Centre Europe (NTCE) in Bedfordshire to launch the UK Hydrogen Network (UK-HyNet) project.
UK-HyNet is an initiative that aims to position the country as one of the world’s leading hydrogen economies by 2015, by creating a network of hydrogen infrastructure throughout the UK.
The majority of automotive manufacturers plan to start the commercial mass deployment of hydrogen fuel cell powered vehicles (HFCVs) in 2015. It is the intention of UK-HyNet to create the conditions by which the UK becomes the country of choice for the car makers to launch their first HFCV fleets. This will provide a platform for the regeneration of the UK’s car industry, a showcase and test bed for its innovative

Toyota Says Hydrogen Fuel Cell SUV Has 431-Mile Range at Equivalent of 68 MPG
Let the rest of the world talk about batteries, Toyota Motor Co. wants us to know its got fuel-cell electric vehicles and that it believes they're a viable technology.
The automaker said this morning that in a real-world driving test of a pair of its second-generation Toyota Highlander fuel cell vehicles, they averaged 431 miles on Southern California roads on their approximately 6-kilogram tanks of compressed hydrogen gas .
Average fuel economy was 68.3 miles per kilogram - the hydrogen equivalent of a gallon of gasoline. That's more than 2.5 times the fuel economy of the 2010 Toyota Highlander gas-electric hybrid.
Toyota previously had estimated the second-generation Highlander fuel cell SUV's range at 516 miles. But that was based on an estimate derived from a Japanese fuel economy test cycle that has much lower top speeds and
The Toyota test, combined with fuel-cell electric vehicle tests being conducted by General Motors and Honda Motor Co., show that the vehicles and their on-board fuel-making technology are pretty much ready for market and that the main bar now - aside from lack of mass-produced components to lower the fuel cell systems' extremely high cost - is lack of a reliable hydrogen fueling infrastructure

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Buses Rollout In China and Germany
Across the continents, hydrogen fuel cell buses are rolling out in higher numbers. Take for instance the two hydrogen fuel cells buses that are rolling out and being trialed in the Northeast of China. Last year I had talked about the Chinese opening the Beijing Hydrogen Park for the 2008 Olympics.
China had rolled out 20 Volkswagen Passat Lingyu FCVs to showcase in this worldwide event.
The hydrogen buses that China is piloting is a project between the University of Sunderland, UK and Shanghai Shen Li High Technology.
Meanwhile, half a world away in Hamburg, Germany the Mercedes-Benz Citaro FuelCELL-Hybrid bus has made its debut on the streets.
The bus uses two of the same fuel cell systems sas the Mercedes-Benz B-Class F-CELL cars plus it uses a more powerful lithium ion battery pack.
The field trial of the Citaro hydrogen fuel cell buses are part of the European Union HyFLEET:CUTE plan. In addition, Hamburg will also receive by 2010, 20 more Daimler B-Class F-CELL cars. The introduction and field trials of the hydrogen buses and cars are part of the European Union plan to significantly expand the EU Hydrogen Highway system by 2015.

Hydrogen-filling station opens ... in Iceland
REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) — Iceland opened a filling station for hydrogen-powered vehicles on Thursday — one of a very few in the world and the next step toward its dream of giving up fossil fuels completely.
The first car in line was a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van, a prototype provided under a European Union-backed program to use Iceland as a test for hydrogen power.
There weren't any other customers Thursday: None of Iceland's 280,000 people are known to drive cars powered by hydrogen.
The new station will be used by three DaimlerChrysler hydrogen-powered buses being introduced into the Reykjavik fleet for two years, starting in August. Each bus can go about 125 miles before it needs refueling.

Accelerating Energy Innovation
Chevron operates five hydrogen energy demonstration stations in the United States:
Chino, California – We installed a small-scale demonstration station that converts natural gas into hydrogen, which is then compressed, purified, stored and dispensed into fuel cell vehicles.
Oakland, California – We collaborated with AC Transit, one of the state's largest public transit agencies, to design and build a demonstration hydrogen energy station to provide high-quality fuel for hydrogen fuel cell and hybrid-electric buses and fuel cell cars.
Rosemead, California – This station, at Southern California Edison headquarters, is designed to produce hydrogen using water electrolysis to convert city water into purified hydrogen for a small fleet of demonstration vehicles.
Orlando, Florida – A Chevron hydrogen station fuels internal combustion engine buses used around the Orlando International Airport and the Orange County Convention Center.
Selfridge, Michigan – At the Selfridge Air National Guard Base, we are using our advanced technologies to convert natural gas into purified hydrogen where it is then compressed, stored and dispensed into vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel cells. In 2008, we began field trials for our second hydrogen production unit at the Selfridge site.

Breakthrough to Advance Hydrogen Car Production
One of the main hurdles in the field of hydrogen car research is the development of a good fueling system. Professor Issam Mudawar along with his research team has
developed a hydrogen storage system that
would allow a car tank to be filled in five minutes
and you can drive on that fuel for 300 miles
But turning the above abstract idea into a reality was not a cakewalk for the project team which is funded by the General Motors Corporations. The biggest obstacle was the problem of heating while one is refueling the tank. According to Issam Mudawar who is the Purdue University (PU) Professor of Mechanical Engineering , “The hydride produces an enormous amount of heat. It would take a minimum of 40 minutes to fill the tank without cooling, and that would be entirely impractical.”

FIG. 123.—Estimating the quantity of water which flows through the trough each second.
175. Quantity of Water Furnished by a River. Drive stakes in the river at various places and note the time required for a chip to float from one stake to another. If we know the distance between the stakes and the time required for the chip to float from one stake to another, the velocity of the water can be readily determined.
The width of the stream from bank to bank is easily measured, and the depth is obtained in the ordinary way by sounding; it is necessary to take a number of soundings because the bed of the river is by no means level, and soundings taken at only one level would not give an accurate estimate. If the soundings show the following depths: 30, 25, 20, 32, 28, the average depth could be taken as 30 + 25 + 20 + 32 + 28 ÷ 5, or 27 feet. If, as a result of measuring, the river at a given point in its course is found to be 27 feet deep and 60 feet wide, the area of a cross section at that spot would be 1620 square feet, and if the velocity proved to be 6 feet per second, then the quantity of water passing in any one second would be 1620 × 6, or 9720 cubic feet. By experiment it has been found that 1 cu. ft. of water weighs about 62.5 lb. The weight of the water passing each second would therefore be 62.5 × 9720, or 607,500 lb. If this quantity of water plunges over a 10-ft. dam, it does 607,500 × 10, or 6,075,000 foot pounds of work per second, or 11,045 H.P. Such a stream would be very valuable for the running of machinery. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.gutenberg.org/files/16593/16593-h/images/image_133.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.gutenberg.org/files/16593/16593-h/16593-h.htm&usg=__t6EOInJrRsReCNwRGt1LkTUG4lo=&h=811&w=600&sz=48&hl=en&start=100&um=1&tbnid=x2p4GqL7rzqzsM:&tbnh=144&tbnw=107&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dpneumatic%2Bdrill%2Bmachine%2Bdiagrams%26ndsp%3D21%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26start%3D84%26um%3D1

If we send an electric current through water (acidulated to make it a good conductor), as shown in Figure 39, we see bubbles of gas rising from the end of the wire by which the current enters the water, [80] and other bubbles of gas rising from the end of the wire by which the current leaves the water. These gases have evidently come from the water and are the substances of which it is composed, because the water begins to disappear as the gases are formed. If we place over each end of the wire an inverted jar filled with water, the gases are easily collected. The first thing we notice is that there is always twice as much of one gas as of the other; that is, water is composed of two substances, one of which is always present in twice as large quantities as the other. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Toyota Says Hydrogen Fuel Cell SUV Has 431-Mile Range at Equivalent of 68 MPGLet the rest of the world talk about batteries, Toyota Motor Co. wants us to know its got fuel-cell electric vehicles and that it believes they're a viable technology.
The automaker said this morning that in a real-world driving test of a pair of its second-generation Toyota Highlander fuel cell vehicles, they averaged 431 miles on Southern California roads on their approximately 6-kilogram tanks of compressed hydrogen gas .
Average fuel economy was 68.3 miles per kilogram - the hydrogen equivalent of a gallon of gasoline. That's more than 2.5 times the fuel economy of the 2010 Toyota Highlander gas-electric hybrid.
Toyota previously had estimated the second-generation Highlander fuel cell SUV's range at 516 miles. But that was based on an estimate derived from a Japanese fuel economy test cycle that has much lower top speeds and
The Toyota test, combined with fuel-cell electric vehicle tests being conducted by General Motors and Honda Motor Co., show that the vehicles and their on-board fuel-making technology are pretty much ready for market and that the main bar now - aside from lack of mass-produced components to lower the fuel cell systems' extremely high cost - is lack of a reliable hydrogen fueling infrastructure

Across the continents, hydrogen fuel cell buses are rolling out in higher numbers. Take for instance the two hydrogen fuel cells buses that are rolling out and being trialed in the Northeast of China. Last year I had talked about the Chinese opening the Beijing Hydrogen Park for the 2008 Olympics.
China had rolled out 20 Volkswagen Passat Lingyu FCVs to showcase in this worldwide event.
The hydrogen buses that China is piloting is a project between the University of Sunderland, UK and Shanghai Shen Li High Technology.
Meanwhile, half a world away in Hamburg, Germany the Mercedes-Benz Citaro FuelCELL-Hybrid bus has made its debut on the streets.
The bus uses two of the same fuel cell systems sas the Mercedes-Benz B-Class F-CELL cars plus it uses a more powerful lithium ion battery pack.
The field trial of the Citaro hydrogen fuel cell buses are part of the European Union HyFLEET:CUTE plan. In addition, Hamburg will also receive by 2010, 20 more Daimler B-Class F-CELL cars. The introduction and field trials of the hydrogen buses and cars are part of the European Union plan to significantly expand the EU Hydrogen Highway system by 2015.

DEARBORN, Mich., August 19, 2008 - When a new hydrogen fueling station is unveiled today in the “Show Me” state of Missouri, Ford Motor Company will preview a new hydrogen-powered shuttle service for military commuters between Fort Leonard Wood and Missouri University of Science and Technology. The two hydrogen-fueled buses will make a guest appearance at the station opening to shuttle local officials and visiting dignitaries to the event.
The ribbon cutting at the H2 station in the E3 Commons development east of the Missouri S&T campus in Rolla, Mo., also serves as an official stop for the government and industry sponsored Hydrogen Road Tour, an unprecedented cross country hydrogen-fuel vehicle tour, traveling from Maine to California during August.
Ford, which has been working on hydrogen technology since the early 1990s, is the world's first automaker to deliver commercial vehicles powered by hydrogen fueled internal combustion engines, according to Susan Cischke, group vice president, Sustainability, Environment and Safety Engineering, Ford Motor

Bloom Energy – is the fuel cell ready for Prime Time?
There already are fuel cells in production that can operate off natural gas, such as UTC Power’s PureCell, but such devices convert the gas to hydrogen first through a “reformer.” Ranging in size from 200 kW to 400 kW, the PureCell also captures waste heat like a typical cogeneration unit, making it as much as 85% efficient. The phsosphoric-acid fuel cell technology also allows the PureCell to run off renewable sources, such as anaerobic digesters (biogas). So why haven’t such fuel cells achieved widespread market penetration? The cost. DOE states that the average price for fuel cells is about $4500 per kilowatt – that’s roughly 5 times the cost per kilowatt of a diesel generator or 7 times the cost of a natural gas turbine! In fact, DOE believes there are only around 300 such PAFC units in operation around the world.

The Governator Introduces Short Haul Fuel Cell Semi-Truck
October 29, 2009
Trucking is among the most important, yet polluting parts of our environment. Everything everywhere was delivered by a truck, unless you live on a farm. A necessary evil, if you will. Getting truckers on board with the green movement will play an integral part in the widespread acceptance of alternative fuel vehicles. To do that, you’ve got to hit them in the wallet.
Towards that end, last week Vision Industries, with the help of California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, unveiled a short haul, hydrogen-powered truck dubbed the Tyrano.

Making Water as Fuel more Feasible
Mr. Ohmasa, president of Japan Techno, has devised a method of producing an unusual hydrogen-oxygen gas that could become an alternative fuel of the future, conceivably replacing gasoline, both due to its burning characteristics as well as its ease of storage and transport.
One patented process developed by >more====
When Ohmasa gas is burned, its emission is water vapor.
Hence, with this new method, water could conceivably become the energy carrier of choice for energy produced from renewable sources such as solar and wind. Some modifications would likely need to be made to existing engines for it to work well with them, and it would require new tanks (gaseous rather than liquid), and new dispensing orifices

Vision Industries` Zero Emission Tyrano Semi Truck produces zero greenhouse gases
Vision Industries Corporation has recently come up with the zero emission, plug-in electric/hydrogen fuel cell hybrid, Tyrano Semi truck. The Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger introduced the Tyrano to the people of California in Sacramento, on the 20th of this month. This truck is designed basically to replace diesel and LNG short haul trucks in California. It has been estimated that there are currently more than 100,000 short haul trucks in California and more than 1 million nationwide. These short-haul trucks not only pollute but also affect the health and quality of life of the people residing in California. The major attraction of this truck is that it produces zero greenhouse gas emissions. Other than that the added benefit of these trucks are that they are 30% to 40% cheaper to operate than diesel trucks.

DOE Researchers Demonstrate Feasibility of Efficient Hydrogen Production from Nuclear Energy
In a major step toward achieving President George W. Bush’s goal of ensuring America’s energy security through innovative technologies, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) and Ceramatec, Inc. of Salt Lake City, Utah have demonstrated the feasibility of using nuclear energy to efficiently produce hydrogen from water.
“With America’s growing demand for oil, also comes a host of environmental challenges. Because of the need to develop new energy sources in an environmentally sound way, the President and our Administration recognize that the benefits of hydrogen technologies are too great to ignore. This major breakthrough signals that we are systematically achieving our hydrogen goals,” Secretary Abraham said.

How a Solar-Hydrogen Economy Could

August 24th, 2009
On the RIGHT is a vehicle with a hydrogen tank, and on the right a vehicle with a standard gasoline tank. Both tanks have been deliberately punctured and ignited. The top panel shows the two vehicles 3 seconds after ignition. We see that, due to the buoyancy of hydrogen, the flame shoots up vertically, whereas gasoline is heavy and spreads beneath the vehicle. The bottom panel shows the two vehicles--60 seconds after ignition.
The hydrogen supply has burned off and the flame is diminished, whereas the gasoline fire has accelerated and has totally engulfed the vehicle on the right. Note that hydrogen flames are not intrinsically visible, but salt and particles in the ambient air burn off giving color to the flame as seen above. Image credit: University of Miami.
(PhysOrg.com) -- As the world's oil supply continues to dry out every day, the question of what will replace oil and other fossil fuels is becoming more and more urgent. According to the World Coal Institute, at the present rate of consumption, coal will run out in 130 years, natural gas in 60 years, and oil in 42 years. Around the world, researchers are investigating alternative energy technologies with encouraging progress - but the question still remains: which source(s) will prove to be most efficient and sustainable in 30, 50, or 100 years from now? -

Aug 20th 2009Greenlings:
Why choose a fuel cell or an internal combustion engine when using hydrogen?
Over the past decade, most of the world's major automakers have expended a lot research dollars and engineering resources on developing vehicles that burn hydrogen. While advocates like the idea of using hydrogen as an energy carrier because it's the most abundant element in the known universe and it can be used without emitting toxic or greenhouse gas emissions (disregarding, for the moment, any emissions from producing the hydrogen), not everyone agrees on how to use it.
There are two basic approaches to using hydrogen in vehicles:
the proton exchange membrane (PEM, also called polymer electrolyte membrane) fuel cell and the classic internal combustion engine (ICE).While some automakers, notably Ford, have experimented with both approaches, most OEMs have chosen one direction or the other.
---Aside from Ford, the only other automakers making any significant effort with hydrogen ICEs are BMW and Mazda. Pretty much everyone else working with hydrogen has gone fuel cell. Why go one direction or the other?

World’s first commercial fuel cell Unmanned Aerial System
By Gizmag Team
August 6, 2009
The world’s first long endurance, commercial hydrogen fuel cell powered Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) will be showcased at AUVSI in Washington on August 11. Developed by BlueBird Aero Systems, “Boomerang” is a electric powered 9kg UAS which can fly for over nine hours using a high performance hydrogen-electric power system from Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies. Named AEROPAK, the self-contained 2kg fuel cell power system from Horizon can deliver 900Wh, at the same time as significantly increasing flight endurance, minimizing acoustic signature and reducing overall size of the UAS.
Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies of Singapore have been known to deliver the world’s highest energy density performance for PEM fuel cell technology
Over the next 10 years, industry analysts expect the acquisition market for UAS to exceed USD$44 billion in the U.S. alone. According to Ron Stearns of G2 Solutions in Seattle, WA, “the use of pervasive UASs is increasing because the persistent ISR capabilities they bring are unmatched.

November 2, 2006
With all the comforts and amenities of a non-hydrogen BMW 7 Series, the BMW Hydrogen 7 is powered by a 191 kW twelve-cylinder engine that accelerates from 0–100 km/h in 9.5 seconds. Top speed is limited electronically to 230 km/h.
The BMW Hydrogen 7 also features a dual-mode power unit – controlled at the touch of a button – that can switch quickly and conveniently from hydrogen to conventional premium grade unleaded.
The car’s dual-mode drive provides a hydrogen mode cruising range of more than 200 kilometres, with another 500 kilometres in petrol mode.
With this overall cruising range of more than 700 kilometres, the driver of a BMW Hydrogen 7 is able to use the vehicle without problem even when the nearest hydrogen filling station is far away.
This technology is a viable solution until the hydrogen infrastructure is fully developed.

Home Energy Station to expand fuel cell applicationsTuesday October 7, 2003 Honda has established an experimental Home Energy Station (HES) that generates hydrogen from natural gas for use in fuel cell vehicles and can also supply electricity and hot water to the home. Part of ongoing research by Honda into hydrogen energy sources, the new system can currently produce enough hydrogen to refill the tank of a Honda FCX hydrogen fuel cell vehicle taking just a few minutes once a day.
Located on the grounds of Honda R&D Americas in Torrance, California, the HES system will undergo experiments in hydrogen production, storage and fuelling. It consists of a reformer to extract hydrogen from natural gas, a refiner to purify the hydrogen, a compressor and a high-pressure tank to store the pressurized hydrogen and a fuel cell unit that provides power for the overall system using some of the extracted hydrogen.
The experimental unit produces hydrogen at a rate of up to 2Nm3/hour (purity of 99.99% or higher) and has a storage capacity 400 litres @ 420 atmospheres

2015 is New Magic Date for Fuel Cell Vehicles
Published June 30, 2009
Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche told Speigel Magazine in March that annual production of fuel cell cars will need to reach 100,000 units to be considered commercially viable, and that vehicle prices could be comparable to “premium” gasoline cars by around 2015.
Toyota’s spokesperson John Hanson said in June, “Toyota is planning to go ahead with its program in certain world markets by 2015, if not sooner.”
Speaking last week at the Edison Electric Institute conference, Ford CEO Alan Mulally saw 2015 as the date that fuel cell cars would go on sale. Mulally hedged when reminded of the US government’s cut in fuel cell research funding. “That pushes out the timeframe for commercialization,” he said.
At a recent fuel cell conference, GM’s Larry Burns also agreed with the 2015 dates, commenting: “General Motors is committed to developing a hydrogen fuel cell car despite its bankruptcy and a huge cut in (federal) research dollars for the zero-emission (hydrogen) vehicle.” Dave Barthmuss, GM's West Coast regional PR manager, said last week, "We don't need any more breakthroughs to bring the [fuel cell] cars into the commercial market by 2015."
Honda’s Steve Ellis, manager of fuel cell vehicle sales and marketing, told an audience at a National Hydrogen Association webinar this month that Honda is looking at 2018 as its magic date, but is already producing the FCX Clarity on a regular production line.

Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche told Speigel Magazine in March that annual production of fuel cell cars will need to reach 100,000 units to be considered commercially viable, and that vehicle prices could be comparable to “premium” gasoline cars by around 2015.
Toyota’s spokesperson John Hanson said in June, “Toyota is planning to go ahead with its program in certain world markets by 2015, if not sooner.”
Speaking last week at the Edison Electric Institute conference, Ford CEO Alan Mulally saw 2015 as the date that fuel cell cars would go on sale. Mulally hedged when reminded of the US government’s cut in fuel cell research funding. “That pushes out the timeframe for commercialization,” he said.
At a recent fuel cell conference, GM’s Larry Burns also agreed with the 2015 dates, commenting: “General Motors is committed to developing a hydrogen fuel cell car despite its bankruptcy and a huge cut in (federal) research dollars for the zero-emission (hydrogen) vehicle.” Dave Barthmuss, GM's West Coast regional PR manager, said last week, "We don't need any more breakthroughs to bring the [fuel cell] cars into the commercial market by 2015."
Honda’s Steve Ellis, manager of fuel cell vehicle sales and marketing, told an audience at a National Hydrogen Association webinar this month that Honda is looking at 2018 as its magic date, but is already producing the FCX Clarity on a regular production line.

Could Chicken Feathers Be The Salvation Of Hydrogen?

Posted in Hydrogen
THIS IS WHY WE NEED TO MAKE HYDROGEN
AS WE GO IN THE VEHICLE!
Wool also estimates that a 75 gallon tank full of hydrogen and carbonized chicken feathers could currently travel about 300 miles, but they are working to improve that range. That is only 4 miles per gallon, but hey, its hydrogen, the most abundent resource in the universe. It’s a start if anything.
Hydrogen gas takes up about 40 times as much room as petrol, and as a liquid it needs to be kept very cold, resulting in high pressure tanks (10,000 psi sometimes). This means that while we have the technology to utilize hydrogen as a propellent, it is difficult to transport. It currently takes about 20 gallons of hydrogen gas to go a single mile. But perhaps chicken feathers can change all that? Will there come a time when we will say “Mm, my fuel tastes like chicken…”
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Hydrogen Economy
Instead of guzzling imported oil (and being at the mercy of oil suppliers) we could turn water into hydrogen and burn that (or use to charge fuel cells.) Meanwhile, the only byproduct of the combustion of hydrogen is ... more water! However, hydrogen storage remains a thorny issue, due to its low density, and hydrogen may end up being only one of many interlocking components that replace the current oil economy.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Hydrogen Powered Urban Car by Riversimple
The weight of this hydrogen car is 772 pounds. You can travel 186 miles on just 2.2 pounds of liquid hydrogen. The Riversimple Urban Car is powered by a cheap, 6-kilowatt fuel. The car's top speed is 50 miles per hour (80.4672 kilometres per hour). It can be accelerated from 0 to 30 mph (48 km/h) in 5.5 seconds.
