Strange But True: Researchers extracting hydrogen from urine

Currently, most commercially available hydrogen is collected by reforming natural gas with steam. That means fossil fuels are still in the mix, which is a serious black mark against hydrogen use for fuel. While it's possible to extract hydrogen from water, the process is rather energy intensive and isn't yet commercially viable. Gerardine Botte of Ohio University believes she may have one possible solution. Instead of cracking hydrogen away from its tight bond in water, the University has demonstrated that it takes much less energy to extract ... Read more →

HHO generation/injection redux: It's not a fuel cell, fails in testing! Sam Abuelsamid

Last week we ignited some healthy discussion in the comments with my post on the (de)merits of on-board hydrogen generators and injectors. While few could argue with my basic thermodynamic analysis ...

MIT researchers develop inexpensive new catalyst for hydrogen production Sam Abuelsamid

One of the biggest cost drivers for electrolyzers and fuel cells is the need for precious metals like platinum to act as catalysts. At $1,700-2,000 per ounce, it can rapidly drive the costs of a fuel ...

See John Kanzius combust salt water Shane Addie

If Jeremy's post last week piqued your interest, here's the video to prove it. Found in the magical realm of YouTube, this news story was originally on NBC News. John Kanzius was trying to find a ...

Savannah River National Lab sucessfully completes test of new electrolyzer Sam Abuelsamid

Researchers at the Savannah River National Laboratory have completed their first long duration of a new hybrid sulfur process electrolyzer. The process works in two main stages with the first taking ...

Energy self-sufficient Danish community makes hydrogen using wind power 2 years ago on Autoblog Green

Who woulda thunk that the first hydrogen-powered community would be Vestenskov, Denmark? In the next couple years, that will be a reality, as the Lolland Hydrogen Community will be installing Micro Combined Heat and Power stations in 35 homes. In Nakskov, an island of Lolland, their main power ...

QuantumSphere, Inc. to Present Breakthrough Efficiencies in Hydrogen Generation at the National Hydrogen Association 2 years ago on Autoblog Green

The National Hydrogen Association Meeting is coming up this week in San Antonio, Texas and QuantumSphere will be making a presentation about a new breakthrough in hydrogen electrolysis. QSI makes nano metals and will be a announcing a new electrolysis electrode design that uses nano scale catalysts ...

Hydrogen Solar awarded 70,000 for nanoparticle hydrogen research 2 years ago on Autoblog Green

How many ways can you make hydrogen? We know of a wide variety (waves and wind are just two recent possibilities), but researchers are constantly studying others (we'll need them, if the hydrogen economy is ever going to work). The Hydrogen Solar Ltd. company is working on a new method that uses a ...

HyPower hydrogen powers a Volkswagen GTi 2 years ago on Autoblog Green

HyPower have fitted a Volkswagen GTi with their H2 Reactor (H2R) hydrogen system to show that it can power the vehicle using only water. Designed to use electrolysis on the fly to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, the system then uses the hydrogen/oxygen gas to power its original internal ...

Proton to Install Hydrogen Fueling System in New York City Metro Area 3 years ago on Autoblog Green

Proton Energy Systems was started 10 years with the aim of developing on-site hydrogen generation systems using proton exchange membrane electrolysis systems. The idea is that instead of distributing and storing liquid or gaseous hydrogen it would be produced essentially on-demand from electricity ...

GE works on cheaper hydrogen electrolysis 3 years ago on Autoblog Green

Ask any pragmatic member of the automotive community when we might see a hydrogen-powered vehicles (fuel cell or internal-combustion engine), and the answer will probably range from "several years" to "several decades". General Electric looks to be trying to push that towards the lower end of the ...
