fuel pump Solar-powered
device meant for home use
Honda Motor Co., the first company approved to sell hydrogen cars to American drivers, began testing a solar-powered hydrogen-fueling device for home use to address a lack of public hydrogen-fuel stations in the United States.
The solar-powered pump, which began operating today at Honda's U.S. headquarters in Torrance, Calif., makes half a kilogram of hydrogen gas per day, enough for an average daily commute, the company said in an e-mailed statement.

The zero-emission fuel is created from water and electricity produced by 6 kilowatts of rooftop solar panels made by Honda.
Plans by Honda, Japan's second-largest automaker, Toyota Motor Corp., Daimler AG, and General Motors Co. to sell hydrogen autos have stalled in the United States on a lack of fuel stations, high costs and competition for federal funds from battery-powered cars.

Home hydrogen to spark energy revolution?
by Alexbenady on January 8, 2010 ·
An off-grid energy revolution was launched this week with the unveiling of the world’s first domestic hydrogen generator at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
Although domestic hydrogen fuel cells are already on the market, their use has been limited by the availability of hydrogen. They have depended on the supply of bottled industrially produced hydrogen, or metal hydride canisters to make them work.
The ‘Hydrofill’ which can fit on a desk top is a hydrogen refuelling and storage device that plugs into any available power source –mains electricity, solar panels or wind turbine.
Manufactured by Singapore based Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies, it automatically extracts hydrogen from its water tank by means of electrolysis and stores it in a solid form in small refillable cartridges. The cartridges contain metallic alloys that absorb hydrogen into their crystalline structure. The cartridges then release the hydrogen at low pressures, which claims Horizon, addresses many of the worries about storing hydrogen at high pressure.
They can be used to recharge fuel cells in hydrogen cars or to run domestic electrical devices.
Horizon claims that the new product could kick start an energy revolution. Fuel cell technology, it points out, can greatly improve the usability of many battery or engine-powered devices, and create the possibility of lower cost electric cars that drive longer distances and recharge instantly.
It may even eliminate completely the need for large-scale fuelling infrastructure investments. “We no longer need to rely on nationwide networks of hydrogen fuelling stations to enable large-scale fuel cel

We published about Horizon Hydrofill, when it was announced prior to CES on Jan. 4th, and we got a chance to see the device at the show. Hydrofill is a major fuel cell innovation, allowing everyone to have a personal hydrogen generator and portable hydrogen cartridges. The Hydrofill system basically extracts hydrogen from water using electrolysis, and store it in the Hydrostick solid hydrogen cartridges. 60 W DC power is enoufght to extract 10 liters of Hydrogen per hour and fill one of the Hydrostick cartrigdge.
Using the cartridge, you can charge your cellphone, or laprtop or any device with USB connector. According to Horizon, the metal hydride alloys contained in the cartridge absorb hydrogen into their crystalline structure and creates the highest volumetric energy density of any form of hydrogen storage. Horrizon Hydrofill can be powered by AC power, a solar panel or a small wind turbine
It also makes a rechargeable refillable solid-state hydrogen cartridges which it sells under the Hydrostik marque. When the hydrogen generator, cartridges and fuel cells are used together, and powered by renewable energy they make an autonomous, sustainable, low impact energy source.

RCA's Airenergy charger converts WiFi energy to electricity
January 13, 2010
At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas this week a RCA spokesman said they had been able to charge a BlackBerry from 30% charge to fully charged in around 90 minutes using only ambient WiFi signals as the power source, although it was unclear on whether the Airenergy battery was recharged in that time. The Airenergy recharging time depends on the proximity to the WiFi signal and the number of WiFi sources in the vicinity.
The RCA Airenergy unit converts the WiFi antenna signal to DC power to recharge its own internal lithium battery, so it automatically recharges itself whenever the device is anywhere near a WiFi hotspot. If you have a wireless network at home the Airenergy would recharge overnight virtually anywhere in your home. When you need to recharge your phone or other device you plug the Airenergy battery into the phone via USB to transfer the charge.

Reports: Panasonic battery to power homes for one week
Panasonic is planning to market a storage cell with capacity to power a typical Japanese home for about one week, according to a recent interview in the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper.
The cell could be available in Japan around fiscal 2011, according to the interview with Panasonic President Fumio Otsubo, carried on Physorg.com. Fiscal 2011 in Japan begins April 1, 2010.
The electronics giant has been developing fuel cell home cogeneration systems. But it recently took majority control of Sanyo Electric and is expected to take advantage of Sanyo's rechargeable battery and solar-power know-how.
Panasonic and Sanyo have apparently already test-manufactured the storage cell and plan to sell it with a power-monitoring system that displays consumption on home TVs.

Danish Drivers To Fill Their Tanks With Wind Power
Denmark has a problem — it’s generating too much power from the wind. Currently, Denmark gets about 20% of its total electrical power from wind. On windy days, that percentage can double. The ups and downs of wind power can strain an electricity grid. In western Denmark, the price of electricity can drop to zero on a windy day, leaving utilities scrambling to offload excess power or take a financial hit. To solve this problem, the Danish utility company Dong Energy plans to build a nationwide system to charge electric cars with the surplus wind power.

We are fascinated by fuel cell technology:
Although working installations are few, fuel cells will be an important part of our energy future. We decided to build a hydrogen system in the field, to explore and test the technology.
Our system uses solar power to run electrolyzers, which split water to make hydrogen. We store the H2 gas in a 500 gallon tank and use it to run a fuel cell. The only exhaust is water. Thus we have a pollution-free, carbon-neutral electric system, using hydrogen as the energy storage medium. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"personal hydrogen station" You can't fill your fuel cell Equinox with it, but the Horizon HydroFill will soon allow people to generate hydrogen at home with water and electricity and use it to power USB devices.
The HydroFILL comes from Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies, makers of little hydrogen cars, and will be unveiled at CES this week. The HydroFILL puts the H2 into battery-like solid-state HydroSTIKs that can then be used in the company's MiniPaks, which send power out through a USB port. HydroFILL uses 60W DC per hour to make 10 liters (0.001 kg) of hydrogen. The MiniPak outputs 2.5W (5V, 400mA) of DC power. Sound unnecessarily complicated? It is. What's wrong with simply using the grid power to recharge the batteries?

Home Hydrogen Production ... An Emerging Revolution? 
07/10/07
In a 29 June progress report (pdf), ITM cites progress in two arenas:
A Home Electrolyser: "to convert renewable or off peak electricity into hydrogen." When it comes to this, ITM is claiming that they are ahead of schedule, having now met their December 2007 test schedule and stating that "this programme was accelerated ... for 2008 factory production units."
Thus, to make it clear, ITM Power is stating that they plan to have home electrolysers for hydrogen production coming off the factory line sometime next year.
But what is the use of that hydrogen? What is that utility?
BiFuel Car: ITM has a duel fuel (gasoline, hydrogen) vehicle that they are road testing. This hybrid can do 25 miles on its hydrogen before switching to gasoline.

GM developing home hydrogen refueling device
9/25/2006
By Chris Woodyard, USA TODAY
General Motors is building a prototype for a home hydrogen refueling unit in hope of selling fuel-cell cars by 2011.
The unit, which would make hydrogen using either electricity or sunlight, would help sidestep one of the most vexing problems surrounding the creation of the pollution-free, alternative-power cars: how to persuade oil companies to invest in expensive new hydrogen stations that would compete with their core product, gasoline.

Heating manufacturer to install 'Bluegen' unit in Japan02-DEC-2009
Developer of fuel cell-based power generation systems, Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited has announced that home heating manufacturer Paloma will install one of its 'BlueGen' power and heating units in its warehouse and sales office in Sapporo, Japan.
Under the agreement with Paloma, Ceramic Fuel Cells will supply a BlueGen unit for a 12 month demonstration, beginning in the first quarter of 2010. BlueGen will be connected to the existing Japanese natural gas pipeline and the power grid.
Ceramic says that BlueGen is the latest breakthrough in small scale electricity generation – about the size of a dishwasher, each unit can produce up to 17 MWh of power a year, twice the electricity needed to power an average home. Surplus electricity can be sold back to the grid.
In September 2008 Ceramic Fuel Cells installed a demonstration system at Paloma's facilities in Nagoya. The unit was successfully operated on one fuel cell stack for the agreed six month trial, until the end of March 2009. Ceramic is also deploying fuel cell products with utility customers and appliance companies in Germany, France and the UK, says the compan

'Crab' electric vehicle the solution for Singapore?
Nov 29, 2009
TRANSPORT planners call it the 'first mile, last mile' problem - how do you get people to give up cars when it takes ages on public transport to get to the subway station from their home?
The people at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology reckon they have cracked the conundrum - a vehicle-sharing system of thousands of small electric cars, foldable scooters and motorised bicycles.
These vehicles can be rented on a one-way basis and do not have to be returned to their original location. Users can park them at stations located at every two or three blocks, switch to a different vehicle, or even hop on public transport
Volkswagen has recently announced a rather ambitious project that, for a change, has nothing to do with cars. Teaming up with regenerative-power company Lichtblick, it aims to install 100,000 co-generation power units in Germany as part of a concept called ‘SchwarmStrom’ which, literally translated, means ‘swarm power’.

The technology — which draws energy from the chemical reaction when hydrogen combines with oxygen to form water — is more commonly seen in futuristic cars with tanks of hydrogen instead of gasoline, a key culprit in pollution and global warming.

Published: March. 24, 2009 at 2:12 PM
LIVERMORE, Calif., March 24 (UPI) -- U.S. government scientists say they've shown that water in hot dense environments acts as a catalyst, speeding chemical reactions without being consumed.
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientists said although the properties of pure water at high pressures and temperatures have long been studied, water in a reactive environment had never been researched.
Lead scientist Christine Wu said she and her team studied the detonation of the high explosive pentaerythritol tetranitrate and discovered that in water, when one hydrogen atom serves as a reducer and the hydroxide serves as an oxidizer, the atoms act as a dynamic team that transports oxygen
between reaction centers.
"This was news to us," said Wu. "This suggests water also may catalyze reactions in other explosives and in planetary interiors."

The idea is to use the energy from solar photovoltaic panels (or another electricity source) to crack water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen gas. Those gases would be stored and used later in a fuel cell to make electricity when the sun is not shining.
The concept is a closed-loop system: running the hydrogen and water through the fuel cell creates water, which can be captured and used again.

At the Aspen Environment Forum today, MIT professor Dan Nocera gave a revolutionary picture of the new energy economy with an assertion that our homes will be our power plants and our fuel stations, powered by sunlight and water.
And it’s not science fiction
Nocera said that MIT will announce its patent next week of a cheap, efficient, manufacturable electrolyzer made from cobalt and potassium phosphate. This technology, powered by a 6 meter by 5 meter photovoltaic array on the roof, is capable of powering an entire house’s power needs plus a fuel cell good for 500 km of travel, with just 5 liters of water.
Nocera stated that even if we put all available acreage into fuel crops, all available acreage in wind power, and build a new nuclear power plant every 1.5 days, and we save 100% of our current energy use (yes, you read that correctly), we will still come up short by 2050. His estimate is that we will need 16 TW of energy production by then, and with our current methods, we won’t get there.
But there is a solution. And we don’t need to invent anything new to get from here to
there.

The new electrolyzer works at room temperature
(”It would work in this water glass right here”) to efficiently produce hydrogen and oxygen gases from water in a simple manner, which will enable a return to using sunlight for our primary energy source.

IMPORTANT -- READ THIS BELOW
This technology will decentralize power production and provide true energy independence. The details of implementation still need to be worked out, but Nocera says that fears of hydrogen technology (safety) are unfounded, as companies that work with these gases have the capability to safely store and use them.

The year 2015, about 5 years from now, is when hydrogen cars are supposed to be commercialized and affordable.
Why does this software make such a bleak prediction about when hydrogen refueling infrastructure will be adequate to support millions of fuel cell cars in theU.S.?
It seems we could build a large scale hydrogen refueling system right now if we really wanted to. Granted, that would probably mean having stations five years prior to there being affordable fuel cell cars.
Even if one chooses to fuel the majority of fuel cell cars by steam reforming natural gas, that will be a significant step forward environmentally.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There have been so many openings of hydrogen fueling stations in the past few years that now days I hardly take notice of another opening. But, the opening of the H2 fueling station in Copenhagen, Denmark has caught my attention and I’ll tell you why.
Yesterday, Copenhagen opened its first hydrogen filling station, which gives Denmark a total now of 7 H2 filling stations. Why is this important?
It is important because Denmark links the Scandinavian Hydrogen Highway system (including Norway, Sweden and Denmark) with the overall European Union Hydrogen Highway system that includes these 3 countries plus Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, France, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, The Netherlands and the United Kingdom.
Yesterday, Copenhagen also introduced 8 hydrogen cars including 2 working vehicles and 6 cars.

Eco Tech:NASA leads team to establish
renewable hydrogen fueling station
Apr 17 2009
Hydrogen fueling station generates hydrogen using renewable energy.
NASA’s Glenn Research Center is leading a team of industry and university partners to develop a commercial hydrogen fueling station that will make use of solar and wind energy to electrolyze water and separate it into hydrogen and oxygen molecules. Water used in the process will come from Lake Erie that will finally fuel a mass transit bus powered by fuel cells.
The system will make use of a high-capacity electrolyzer that will split water into its elemental components. The oxygen molecules will be released in the atmosphere, whereas the hydrogen molecules will be stored for future use. The hydrogen fueling station will be located in downtown Cleveland at the Great Lakes Science Center on the south shore of Lake Erie, where it can be powered from the science center’s existing wind and solar power sources.

The hydrogen generators and home hydrogen fueling stations of the future will most likely come in three varieties including electrolysis units, reformers and chemical reaction units.
The electrolysis units work by simply splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen, then compressing and storing the H2 for future use.
The reformers use natural gas, methane or another hydrogen-rich gas and separate out the hydrogen for use as fuel.
The chemical reaction units use boron, aluminum or other chemical substances and water to create a reaction generating hydrogen for use for fuel.
There are many companies right now claiming to have commercial hydrogen generation units available for sale. Unfortunately, leading-edge technology tends to bring out the scam artists as well. So, a word of caution to the wise is before spending any money - ask the company for references from satisfied customers so that you know they are legitimate vendors. Check the company out with the Better Business Bureau and ask the company to see a working demo of their products. A little caution will go a long way in making sure you're on the leading edge of technology and not on the bleeding edge of technology.

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. 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

---Air Liquide adds Vancouver International Airport to Canadian Hydrogen Energy Demonstration Project
November 18, 2009
MONTREAL, QC — Air Liquide announced today that Vancouver International Airport has become the second of two Canadian airports in its 14 million dollar hydrogen and fuel cell demonstration project, joining Pierre-Elliott-Trudeau International Airport in Montréal.Air Liquide Canada leads this project in collaboration with Natural Resources Canada, the governments of British Columbia and Quebec, and 14 participating companies.
Vancouver International Airport will deploy several hydrogen transportation technologies in shuttle buses, as well as passenger and utility vehicles provided by the Vancouver Airport Authority and Air Canada."We are extremely pleased to contribute to British Columbia's Hydrogen Highway initiative by showcasing our hydrogen technologies at Vancouver International Airport,"
said President and CEO of Air Liquide Canada, Luc Doyon. "As we near the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, this exciting demonstration program will be observed by millions of travellers coming to Vancouver for the Games and beyond.
Air Liquide is privileged to have a front row seat with British Columbia to show the world how innovative fuel cell technologies and hydrogen energy can power important sectors of the Canadian economy while protecting our environment. "

Hydrogen can be produced from any energy source including natural gas and coal, but also from renewable energy sources. Hydrogen thus represents a fabulous potential for providing renewable, clean, silent energy, and guarantees a secure supply.
To support car manufacturers in the development of their hydrogen-powered vehicles, Air Liquide has developed fueling stations to fill fuel tanks with pressurized hydrogen up to 700 bars. These stations complete the fill up in less than five minutes and as easily and safely as for a gasoline stop. Air Liquide has already supplied nearly 40 hydrogen fueling stations throughout the world.
