Ford-led consortium testing hydrogen fuel cell technology on E-Transit in UK

Green Car Congress

A Ford-led consortium is testing hydrogen fuel cell technology on the E-Transit in a small UK-based prototype fleet developed by Ford Pro. The UK-based project will establish if hydrogen fuel cell technology can help to deliver enhanced zero-emission-driving range for E-Transit customers with energy-intensive use cases.

OSU, Ford study provides insight into more efficient use of Rhodium in TWC applications

Green Car Congress

A study by a team from The Ohio State University and Ford is providing insight into the deactivation mechanism of rhodium in three-way catalysts (TWC) for automotive emissions control. The cost of rhodium has risen dramatically over the past years due to increasing demand coupled with a fundamental supply deficit.

National labs team delivers techno-economic analyses of H2 DRI scenarios for green steel

Green Car Congress

Hydrogen-based direct reduced iron (H 2 -DRI) is an alternative pathway for low-carbon steel production. The focus of this work is to characterize plausible hydrogen end use in iron and steelmaking in a manner that can inform coupling with H 2 generation and storage systems. —Rosner et al.
