Researchers at the University of Surrey have come up with an efficient and low-cost alternative to produce electricity. According to them, a by-product obtained during the manufacture of biofuels can be used to power microbial fuel cells. This latest research could pave the way to design self-powered tools. The researchers presented their study at the Autumn Conference of Society for General Microbiology.
Ballard Power Systems, a provider of clean energy fuel cell products for optimizing power systems, has received initial purchase orders for 102 fuel cell power generation systems. The products are to be deployed in telecom networks across Southeast Asia.
Pike Research’s new report titled ‘Fuel Cells Annual Report 2012’ has predicted that the market for fuel cells used in the transport, portable and stationary sectors will achieve a total value of $15.7 billion by 2017. However, a number of issues must be resolved for achieving this figure.
The international fuel cell sector is growing swiftly and showed a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 83% during 2009ƒ{2011. Nevertheless, it is still small in comparison with its clean energy peers such as solar and wind.
The AREVA Group has won the call for tenders launched by La Croix Valmer city (South East of France) for the supply of an energy storage system.
A research team from UNED has devised a technique to fabricate a fuel cell component that enables surpassing the power target set by the US Department of Energy for 2017.
A research team at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences has developed a new solid-oxide fuel cell that can produce electricity by converting hydrogen and is also capable of storing electrochemical energy just as a battery. The fuel cell can generate power for a shorter period even after the fuel exhaust.
Researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) have developed nitrogen-enriched iron-carbon nanorods, which can be used as a low-cost alternative to platinum catalysts used in microbial fuel cells (MFCs).
Proton OnSite, a provider of hydrogen energy and gas solutions, has achieved gas production at 5,000 psi without a compressor using hydrogen electrolyzer technology.
Anglo American Platinum, a producer of platinum group metals and Ballard Power Systems, a provider of clean energy fuel cell products are engaged in developing several early-stage motive and stationary uses of zero-emission, clean fuel cells in the South African market sector.
