(Natural News) A new analysis shows that methanol fuel cells are more efficient at producing electricity than hydrogen fuel cells. Fuel cells use hydrogen – the most abundant element in the universe – to produce clean and efficient electricity to power cars, trucks, buses and ships, as well as even homes and businesses. Hydrogen is considered […]

(Natural News) Renewed efforts around the world to reduce carbon emissions have boosted the demand for platinum in the automotive industry. Hydrogen-fuel-cell technology is expected to play an important role in reducing global carbon emissions. This technology relies on platinum, which can withstand higher temperatures than other metals. Fuel cells need platinum for the catalyst that separates hydrogen into […]

(Natural News) Fuel cell manufacturer HyPoint has developed a breakthrough fuel cell prototype for aircraft. The company that develops zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell systems for the aviation industry unveiled the prototype on Tuesday, March 2. HyPoint said its turbo air-cooled hydrogen fuel system would drive the development of zero-emissions aircraft and play a key role […]

(Natural News) New York-based Hyzon Motors announced on Monday, March 1, its plans to build just outside Chicago the largest production facility for fuel cell components for commercial vehicles in the United States. The hydrogen-powered truck and bus manufacturer is leasing a 28,000-square-foot facility it has dubbed the Hyzon Innovation Center in the Chicago suburb […]

(Natural News) The quest for renewable energy has led some scientists to think small, that is, on a microscopic scale. A recent study has demonstrated how mixing microbes and a carbon nanomaterial can be used to help create biohybrid materials that can be used in several green energy applications. Led by Pascal Sailaly, a team […]

(Natural News) Tesla e-cars are prowling the U.S. highways, while the roads of Chinese cities are filling up with electric buses. Soon it will be the turn of the electric plane to take to the skies. In a Deutsche Welle article, a German aerospace expert believes we will see e-planes offering short-range regional flights within two decades. Josef […]

(Natural News) We may finally be on the verge of a true alternative to costly lithium-ion batteries that rely on rare earth metals. Australian researchers recently debuted the first working example of a carbon-based rechargeable proton battery, according to an article on ScienceDaily. According to the RMIT University (RMIT) research team, their proton battery works […]
