MIT researchers advancing development of supercritical water upgrading of heavy crude; lower cost, energy use and CO2

Green Car Congress

Findings by MIT researchers could help advance the commercialization of supercritical water technology for the desulfurization and upgrading of high-sulfur crude oil into high-value, cleaner fuels such as gasoline without using hydrogen—a major change in refining technology that would reduce costs, energy use, and CO 2 emissions.

Naysayer Alert – the hydrogen red herring

My Electric Car

There has been much discussion for over thirty years or more around the use of hydrogen fuel cells as an alternative to the internal combustion engine. Proponents believe such a car could be easily refuelled with hydrogen and assumed it would have greater range than a pure all-electric car.

easyJet to trial electric taxi system in aircraft; H2 fuel cells, batteries and wheel motors

Green Car Congress

European carrier easyJet plans to test an electric taxi system later this year that utilizes a hydrogen fuel cell stowed in the hold, batteries charged by regenerative braking, and electric wheel motors. The only waste product is fresh clean water which could be used to refill the aircraft’s water system throughout the flight.

New Approach to Release Hydrogen from Ammonia Borane Promising for Fuel Cell Vehicle Applications

Green Car Congress

Hydrogen yield from the hydrothermolysis approach as a function of AB concentration, at different operating conditions. A team of chemical engineers at Purdue University have developed a noncatalytic hydrothermolysis approach to release hydrogen from ammonia borane (AB)—a promising hydrogen storage material containing 19.6
