GlobalData: China advancing hydrogen engines to meet sustainability goals

Green Car Congress

As much as skeptics insist that the internal combustion engine (ICE) is dead and hydrogen is a non-starter, it appears that significant research and development is being conducted into the technology across geographies. GAC Motor (GAC) tested a hydrogen combustion engine that has a high thermal efficiency of 44%. China Yuchai.

Transform Materials plasma process converts abundant natural gas into high-value hydrogen and acetylene

Green Car Congress

Transform Materials has developed a novel and sustainable microwave plasma reactor process to convert natural gas into high-value hydrogen and acetylene, thereby opening up a new pathway for green chemical manufacturing. But methane is extremely inert in an oxygen-free environment and resists chemical reactions.

Hydrogen Can Make Global Heating Worse, CICERO Study Shows

CleanTechnica EVs

Hydrogen is the miracle element. In theory, if humanity used hydrogen to meet all its energy needs, a pollution-free environment would be ours to enjoy forever and a day. It can power fuel cells that make electricity, leaving nothing behind but water and little heat. What a wonderful world that would be.
