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 →

Urea, uh, urine: More than just for BlueTec! For batteries too?

While perusing "the internets" for green-like automotive news, I stumbled upon a post about making batteries using various components, including urine. Urea is already in use for the BlueTec system in ...

Urea, uh, urine: More than just for BlueTec! For batteries too? 2 years ago on Autoblog Green

While perusing "the internets" for green-like automotive news, I stumbled upon a post about making batteries using various components, including urine. Urea is already in use for the BlueTec system in diesel cars and trucks, how about a hybrid with a urea tank for "rechargeable" batteries. Would ...
