Georgia Tech team develops high-performance intermediate-temperature sold-oxide fuel cell

Green Car Congress

A team from Georgia Tech, with colleagues at the university of Kansas, has designed a high-performance solid-oxide fuel cell that operates directly on nearly dry (only ~3.5 vol% H 2 O) methane at 500 °C, demonstrating a peak power density of 0.37 Lowering the temperature to 500 degrees Celsius is a sensation in our world.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. Experts call this Power-to-X (PtX). Powering these applications will require electrifying these sectors or converting electricity to a more suitable form via PtX.
