The Future of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles

Clean Fleet Report

So, with that in mind, let’s explore the future of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and break down everything you need to know. The hydrogen ions combine with oxygen to create water vapor, which the vehicle emits as harmless exhaust. The post The Future of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles first appeared on Clean Fleet Report.

First orders for MAN G80 dual-fuel methanol engine

Green Car Congress

The engines, which are capable of operation on green methanol and conventional fuel-oil, represent the first order for the G80 bore size; they will also feature MAN Energy Solutions’ proprietary EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) systems. As such, methanol is quickly becoming the most prominent alternative fuel in the container vessel segment.

Empa and partners exploring DME as fuel with new heavy-duty test engine

Green Car Congress

An electrically driven compressor for precise exhaust gas recirculation is also used. Then we modify the timing and pressure of the injection, among other things, and look at exhaust emission values and fuel consumption. This is done via exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). —Patrik Soltic. The first results are very promising.

New ORNL non-precious metal catalyst shows promise as low-cost component for low-temperature exhaust aftertreatment

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed a ternary mixed oxide catalyst composed of copper oxide, cobalt oxide, and ceria (dubbed “CCC”) that outperforms synthesized and commercial platinum group metal (PGM) catalysts for CO oxidation in simulated exhaust streams while showing no signs of inhibition—i.e.,

China Merchants Heavy Industry orders methanol dual-fuel engines for new Pure Car and Truck Carrier segment

Green Car Congress

The engines will feature MAN Energy Solutions’ proprietary EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system. While LNG has been the most popular alternative fuel within the PCTC segment, CMES is one of the first movers to methanol, which we expect will figure prominently as a future fuel in the maritime energy transition across all vessel segments.
