Scientists have found a new, safe, and efficient way of producing hydrogen

Production of hydrogen fuel is a key goal towards the development of sustainable energy practices, but this process does not have feasible methods yet, with it currently being excessively energy- and water-intensive. Now, a team from the Tokyo University of Science believes it's found a novel Read More...

Renewable hydrogen is getting set to oust natural gas

An economy powered by hydrogen may seem like a distant dream, but the US Department of Energy is pouring millions of dollars into research and development to make it happen soon. The latest developments have all been about leveraging wind and solar energy to bring the cost of renewable hydrogen Read More...

New molecule can harness over

New molecule can harness over 50% more solar energy than current solar cells

For the first time ever, scientists have managed to develop a single molecule that can absorb energy from the entire visible spectrum of light, meaning it can harness over 50 percent more solar energy than conventional solar cells. That also means it can catalyze that energy into hydrogen. Read More...

Hydrogen will be powering a new fleet of London’s famous double-decker busses

A new fleet of famous double-decker busses are about to hit the streets of London. Although they may not look much different on the outside, the new busses have one major upgrade: they’re powered by hydrogen. As the capital steps up attempts to tackle its polluted air, London is rolling out 20 Read More...

Belgian scientists have come up with a solar panel that produces hydrogen

Heating homes and buildings with oil, propane, or natural gas costs a lot of money and pumps a lot of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. How great would it be if there was a solar panel that would convert sunlight into clean burning zero emissions hydrogen to keep us all toasty warm at home and at Read More...

California amends rules to pus

California amends rules to push vehicles toward hydrogen, electricity, biofuel

California's Air Resources Board (CARB) has announced that it would tighten restrictions on transportation fuels in the state in the hopes of spurring adoption of electric, hydrogen, and biofuel-based cars, trucks, buses, and even planes. Since 2011, CARB has had a Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) Read More...

Hyundai’s hydrogen-powered S

Hyundai’s hydrogen-powered SUV to run on sewage in South California

For all the recent advance on the electric car market, it is good to see that other alternatives to fossil fuel transportation are also making progress. Low-emission-car pioneer Hyundai is soon to introduce a fuel cell version of its 2015 Tucson in Orange County that will run on biogas produced Read More...

Green, cheap hydrogen now ready for fuel-cell vehicles, say scientists

Hydrogen is as clean a fuel as they come… or not. Although it emits very little greenhouse gas, more than 90% of it is currently produced from fossil sources at a high cost. Virginia Tech scientists claim that is soon to be a thing of the past. They were able to produce hydrogen from waste Read More...
