STFC Rutherford Appleton Lab spin-off seeking to develop and commercialize a novel solid-state hydrogen storage technology; transportation applications

Green Car Congress

Example of micro fibers produced with 20 wt % AB (ammonia borane) in water as core solution, showing smooth (nonporous) and cylindrical (noncollapsed) fibers; from a 2010 paper by the scientific team. The material could allow hydrogen to be stored in a cheap and practical way for transport applications, the company says.

Cella Energy Ltd named UK winner for Shell Springboard Awards 2011 for novel solid-state hydrogen storage technology

Green Car Congress

Cella Energy, developer of a novel hydrogen storage technology ( earlier post ), was named the UK winner for the Shell Springboard Awards 2011. Cella Energy’s invention uses nanotechnology to store hydrogen safely in tiny micro-beads (smaller than a grain of sand) which then release hydrogen when heated.

Proton OnSite achieves hydrogen gas production at 5,000 psi without a compressor

Green Car Congress

Proton OnSite’s latest project with the US Department of Energy (DOE) has yielded a proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer stack that can produce hydrogen gas at the pressure required to fuel a vehicle, without the need for a compressor. Proton OnSite began collaborating with the DOE in February 2010 on Phase I of the project.
