Hydrogen storage breakthrough could come from Russian space program

Reducing the weight and cost of hydrogen storage tanks remains one of the technological issues that engineers must overcome to make fuel cell vehicles more practical. Aside from the large metal cylinders currently used in most applications, one of the primary options has been various types of solid state storage that absorbs and then releases the hydrogen. digg_url = 'http://digg.com/autos/Russian_Space_Program_Provides_Breakthrough_Hydrogen_Storage'; A possible breakthrough may have emerged out of the Russian space program.

DOE launches $1 million Hydrogen Prize Jeremy Korzeniewski

Steven Chu, head of the United Stated Department of Energy, doesn't want to spend huge sums of government money investing in hydrogen technology. That much is certain after Chu decided to slash ...

Could chicken feathers hold the key to effective hydrogen storage? Jeremy Korzeniewski

It's no secret that a ton of problems need to be overcome before there's any real chance we'll all be driving clean-emissions hydrogen-powered cars and trucks. One such problem is how to store the ...

Greek researchers develop material to better store hydrogen in cars Xavier Navarro

Three Greek researchers have developed a new set of carbon nanotubes (CNT) that could store safely hydrogen for fuel-cell car applications. These researchers - Georgios Dimitrakakis, Emmanuel ...

Rice University researchers studying hydrogen nano tanks Sam Abuelsamid

Researchers at Rice University are studying a new way of potentially storing hydrogen within tiny carbon nano-structures called buckyballs. So far they haven't actually been able to physically test ...

Cardiff University: Storing hydrogen in an organic polymer 2 years ago on Autoblog Green

There are many stumbling blocks when it comes to the successful use of hydrogen as an energy carrier for automobiles. Among those stumbling blocks is figuring out how to extract hydrogen in an environmentally friendly and cost effective manner, how to transport that hydrogen and subsequently refill ...

PNNL scientists suggest using hydrogen 'pellets of power' 2 years ago on Autoblog Green

Lets get two pieces of commentary out of the way right off the bat. One, who else thought of the movie Goonies when they read "pellets of power"? "Pinchers of peril, saved by my pinchers of peril"! - Data, aka Jonathan Ke Quan. Two, how awesome is the name "The Department of Energy's Chemical ...

Research shows potential for hydrogen "nano-storage" 2 years ago on Autoblog Green

A research document led by Javier Bermejo, a scientist from the Basque Country University (UPV-EHU) in Spain and published in the Physical Review Letters magazine has shown "promising results" in the use of carbon nanostructures to store compressed hydrogen for automotive uses. The nano-storage ...

Working to solve the hydrogen storage dilemna with metal hydrides 2 years ago on Autoblog Green

Carnegie Mellon has some interesting research going on these days. Those who oppose hydrogen as a fuel source (electricity) have quite a few problems to hang their hats on. For one, where to get the hydrogen from? Yes, it is abundant, but it is tied up with other stuff... making things such as ...

Ford joins the University of Melbourne to study H2 engine development 2 years ago on Autoblog Green

Ford's Australian division is partnering with the University of Melbourne on a study to begin in July of this year to evaluate a hydrogen powered internal combustion engine. The Victoria State Government has chipped in a $1.2 million grant to help finance the project. The University team will take ...

Hydrogen and the fuel cell car: Which came first? 3 years ago on Autoblog Green

While the media buzz might make people believe hydrogen fuel cells are around the corner, significant hurdles still need to be crossed. Even though some prototype fuel cell cars are showing promise in delivering an experience similar to existing cars, cost, hydrogen storage, and lack of ...
