U Delaware team develops prototype efficient direct ammonia fuel cell for transportation

Green Car Congress

However, the scale of biofuels is limited by their environmental footprint, considering the land and water usage. Desirable developments include minimized crossing of ammonia and controlled flow of water beyond the anode, requiring improvement of MEA structures and HEMs of low ammonia permeability maintaining good anionic conductivity.

The Future of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles

Clean Fleet Report

FCEVs use hydrogen—a lightweight, abundantly available gas—to generate the electricity through a chemical reaction and power the electric motors that move the car. The hydrogen ions combine with oxygen to create water vapor, which the vehicle emits as harmless exhaust. How Do FCEVs Work? government is infusing $9.5
