NREL study finds high-pressure hydrogen pipeline system could potentially make hydrogen cost-competitive with gasoline

Green Car Congress

A new study by a team at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) concludes that a high-pressure, scalable, intra-city hydrogen pipeline system could improve the economics and logistics of hydrogen delivery, making it potentially cost-competitive with gasoline. The smallest modeled system connects eight existing stations.

Insight into benzene formation could help development of cleaner combustion engines

Green Car Congress

That insight could also help the car industry make cleaner combustion engines. That swirling mass of matter would eventually give shape to the earliest forms of carbon—precursors to molecules some scientists say are connected to the synthesis of the earliest forms of life on Earth. Zhao et al. PAHs have a dark side, too.

INFINITI says new gasoline-generated EV system (Nissan e-POWER) central to electrification strategy

Green Car Congress

These include fully-electric systems, as well as a gasoline-generated EV system (known as e-POWER at Nissan, earlier post ) in which a gasoline engine generates electrical power stored in a battery (series hybrid), which can then be delivered to all four wheels through a pair of high-output electric motors. Earlier post.)

Nissan Note e-POWER orders more than double the monthly target

Green Car Congress

e-POWER comprises a high-output battery and the powertrain which is integrated with gasoline engine, power generator, inverter and a motor. In conventional hybrid systems, the wheels are driven by an electric motor and a gasoline engine. And unlike a full EV, the power source is the engine, rather than just the battery.
