Defective nanotubes might make hydrogen production easier
30 September 2005Researchers at North Carolina State University have used computer models to discover that defective nanotubes may make the production of hydrogen easier and therefore less costly. There is still work to do:
… there are still problems to solve before a truly catalytic process can be devised – for example, how to make this dissociation reaction [...]
Hydrogen from biomass
27 September 2005Among the many efforts to find a cost effective source of hydrogen is this plan to turn agricultural waste products and energy crops like switchgrass into lower cost hydrogen.
a team of scientists from the Gas Technology Institute in Des Plaines, Ill., are trying to invent a very tough, yet permeable, membrane with which to [...]
Making Hydrogen
4 September 2005Sometimes we talk about hydrogen and hydrogen production as though everyone understands the process. If we take a step back and show someone the basics, they get a better understanding of what’s going on. It doesn’t do much good to debate the pros and cons of PEM fuel cells if hydrogen is some vague concept.
General [...]
2nd European Hydrogen Energy Conference
1 September 2005The 2nd European Hydrogen Energy Conference along with the 2nd Professional Meeting on Hydrogen and Fuel Cells will be held November 22nd through 25th in Zaragoza, Spain. Discussions and presentations covering all aspects of hydrogen production, storage, application and related policies will be offered for attendees.
Weizmann Institute produces hydrogen using solar energy
31 August 2005The Weizmann Institute of Science in Rechovot has developed a process where zinc oxide is heated by solar energy until it splits into oxygen and gaseous zinc. The gas is condensed to powder. When reacted with water it produces hydrogen and zinc oxide which is recycled back to zinc.
The process generates no pollution, and the [...]
