Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies plans to unveil its recent and biggest technological innovation, which is a small home hydrogen refueling and storage solution that could lead to the development of a hydrogen-based economy. This new solution will also lead to the production of new fuel cell products. A scalable, inexpensive and consumer-centric hydrogen supply model that terminates the dependence on large-scale fueling infrastructure investments is provided by the refueling device.
Optomec announced today that it has received a new contract from the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to deliver high throughput enhancements to its Aerosol Jet® system. The upgrades will be made to a system that is being used by AFRL to develop and prototype high efficiency solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) based on Aerosol Jet's unique material mixing capabilities.
An efficient and clean source of electricity is offered by fuel cells that has industrial, residential and commercial applications. Stationary fuel cells are available in a capacity ranging from 1 kilowatt to 10 kilowatts. These stationary fuel cells can be used for various purposes that are gaining an increasing amount of traction in different niche markets.
Ballard Power Systems has closed an agreement with a financial institution to monetize its rights under the Share Purchase Agreement with Ford Motor Company. This agreement is related to the 19.9 percent equity interest Ballard Power Systems has in Automotive Fuel Cell Cooperation Corporation.
In an effort to contribute towards sustainable development, the aerospace and defense industry has adopted a number of green initiatives through strategies aimed at reducing carbon footprint. The International Air Transportation Association (IATA) has unveiled a four-pillar strategy that outlines guidelines for activities aimed at lowering fuel consumption and emissions.
The ACS’ Inorganic Chemistry, a bi-weekly journal, published a report on solar energy that was written by an international expert. This report highlighted that the society is moving toward an era of “personalized solar energy” and the focus of energy production is changing from central generating stations to electricity production in communities and individual homes. This report describes a method to store solar energy that can later be used to plug-in cars and power individual homes which in turn will provide a clean environment.
Scientists at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have developed a novel mechanism that could be used to generate clean electricity from agricultural or domestic waste. Some bacteria survive by ‘breathing rock’ and the researchers have shown for the first time the mechanism by which these bacteria do that. The report was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a leading scientific journal.
The stationary fuel cell market in the Asia Pacific region earned revenues of $142 million in 2008 and is expected to achieve $1.9 billion in 2015 according to new analysis from Frost & Sullivan. The revenues in the portable fuel cell segment for the year 2008 were $1 million and are expected to reach $12 million in 2015.
Fuel cell will be providing the majority of energy needs for Connecticut Science Center. This science center, located in downtown Hartford, becomes the first science center in the country to adopt the fuel cell clean energy strategy. Almost 100% of energy needed for the Connecticut Science Center will be met by fuel cell annually. The 200kW fuel cell will deliver about two-thirds of the energy requirement of the science center during operating hours. The fuel cell will transfer energy back into the grid when the power demand is less for the science center. In addition, the fuel cell will also be used for providing back-up power.
Major trash operators in Idaho, New Jersey, Florida, and California have opened new compressed natural gas (CNG) stations that support the fuel needs of refuse collection trucks.
