A study report published in Nature Chemistry explains a research conducted by the researchers from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, the University of Auckland (New Zealand) and the University of Aberdeen (Scotland), in using ethanol and sunlight to produce hydrogen, which can be subsequently used as an energy source. The study is considered to be a big leap in the use of hydrogen to substitute fossil fuels.
A new research approach attempted by Stefan Schneider and his colleagues at the Air Force Laboratory USA (Edwards Air Force Base), and published in the journal Angewandte Chemie, introduces a range of exclusive hydrogen-rich ionic liquids that can self combust when associated with hydrogen peroxide.
The students of chemical engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology have discovered a microreactor, which can be used by the American soldiers for powering their battery.
RASIRC Steamers were found by the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) to yield 20.2% efficiency in the production of back-contact silicon solar cells. Fraunhofer used the Steamer to deliver ultrapure water vapor for both its metal wrap through (MWT) and passivated emitter and rear cell (PERC) solar cell manufacturing processes.
AlumiFuel Power (API), a Pennsylvania-based hydrogen producing company, has combined with its Illinois-based key contractor, Ingenium Technologies to develop a hydrogen generating system for powering Unmanned Undersea Vehicles (UUV) with its own AlumiFuel powders.
Mohamed Halabi, a researcher of Eindhoven University of Technology, has presented a proof-of-principle to establish the feasibility of producing quality hydrogen from natural gas.
The new Pike Research report brought out at the yearly Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy Association members meeting indicates that the global demand for fuel cell shipments witnessed a two-fold increase from around 7,500 units to over 15,000 units during the period from 2008 to 2010.
The first 10 of the 30 forklift trucks with hydrogen filled tanks that run on fuel cells will undergo tests at Risavika harbor just outside Stavanger in Norway.
Energy consumption all over the world is alarmingly increasing and it is estimated that by year 2050 the consumption will almost double the level of what was registered at the fag end of 20th century.
Pulling valuable fuels out of thin air? It sounds like magic, but Joel Rosenthal, a chemist at the University of Delaware, is working to transform carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, into gas for your car and clean-energy future fuels.
