Researchers at the University of Delaware have demonstrated a direct ammonia fuel cell (DAFC) prototype with a peak power density of 135 mW cm ?2. As a nitrogen-based liquid fuel, ammonia is cheaper to store and distribute than hydrogen and avoids the carbon dioxide emissions of other liquid fuels, which are expensive to capture.

However, electric school buses are believed to be cheaper to own over the life of the vehicles than diesel alternatives due to a combination of lower fuel and maintenance costs and because vehicle-to-grid capabilities would allow school districts to sell electric buses’ stored energy back to the utility.

Scientists at the University of Delaware are developing a new low-cost material for hydrogen storage—carbonized chicken feathers (CCFF)—that they say could meet the DOE requirements for hydrogen storage and are competitive with carbon nanotubes and metal hydrates at a tiny fraction of their cost.

Such a storage system could avoid the cost and weight associated with systems using liquefaction or compression to store the gas. Our results provide direct support to the key assumption of hydrogen spillover mechanisms and may thus be useful for material optimization for better hydrogen storage materials utilizing the spillover effect.

The idea of vehicle-to-grid is that you are storing energy at the end of the distribution system, so you can absorb those peaks. But in places like Delaware or in PJM territory, which covers a very large percentage of the US population, this is getting implemented right now. You can bring the peak as close as possible to the average.

It’s been 25 years since University of Delaware energy and environmental expert Willett Kempton and Green Mountain College energy economist Steve Letendre outlined what they saw as a “dawning interaction between electric-drive vehicles and the electric supply system.” Their research partnership ran for four years.
