Bertrand Piccard’s Big Hydrogen Adventure

Cars That Think

Now hes in the midst of what looks like his most technologically ambitious mission yet: to fly around the planet in a green-hydrogen fuel-cell aircraft. It enabled him and a colleague to be the first people hoisted into the stratosphere, by a hydrogen balloon, in 1931. And the big part of the propulsion system is the hydrogen tank.

Could This Fuel Cell Tech Help Scale Green Hydrogen?

Cars That Think

Researchers who are developing electrolyzers for hydrogen production are increasingly turning to a membrane platform originally used in fuel cells to scale up their technology. In a hydrogen fuel cell, the membrane helps facilitate the chemical reactions needed to generate electricity. Ecolectro Why Choose AEM for Green Hydrogen?

Revealed: General Motors battery guru explains why lithium – not hydrogen – is central to our EV future

EV Central

GM’s top EV battery guru, Andy Oury, believes we could switch to a hydrogen-based economy in the future, if we could build enough renewable energy to run it. That’s because – as Oury is at pains to point out – the lithium that currently powers electric vehicles, and other batteries, is almost as abundant as hydrogen anyway.
