Toyota opens CES with strong affirmation of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles; “staggering” rate of cost reduction; FCV on sale in US in 2015

Green Car Congress

The prototype has consistently delivered a driving range of about 300 miles (~500 km), zero-to-sixty acceleration of about 10 seconds, with no emissions other than water vapor. In addition, the FC system is equipped with Toyota’s high-efficiency boost converter. We’re doing a good job with both and we will launch in 2015.

Tech: Renewable Diesel: A Sustainable Substitute

Clean Fleet Report

Today, it is a cost-neutral way for fleet owners to achieve their goals by allowing them to convert an entire diesel-powered fleet to alternative fuel overnight. One challenge is feed pretreatment, which can be done with acid, high-pressure water and/or adsorbents, depending on the technology selection.

New TOTAL hydrogen filling station in Karlsruhe produces H2 onsite with steam electrolysis and solar energy

Green Car Congress

Steam electrolyzers ( earlier post ) are excellent for converting electrical energy into chemical energy. Due to their high operating temperatures of up to 850 °C and the possibility of supplying the required energy in the form of heat, significantly higher electrical efficiencies can be achieved than with low-temperature electrolyzers.
