STFC Rutherford Appleton Lab spin-off seeking to develop and commercialize a novel solid-state hydrogen storage technology; transportation applications

Green Car Congress

Example of micro fibers produced with 20 wt % AB (ammonia borane) in water as core solution, showing smooth (nonporous) and cylindrical (noncollapsed) fibers; from a 2010 paper by the scientific team. The material could allow hydrogen to be stored in a cheap and practical way for transport applications, the company says.

Mercedes-AMG 2L, turbo four-cylinder pushes out up to 421 hp, 500 Nm

Green Car Congress

Fresh air is used in addition to oil and water to cool the turbocharger. Thanks to its good thermal conductivity, the water-cooled mould allows rapid cooling and solidification of the melt. The cooling performance was also improved by a near-surface water jacket geometry, a faster flow rate and an optimized volumetric flow rate.

List of The Best 10 Alternative Fuels for Cars that Could Replace Gasoline

Get Electric Vehicle

1 liter of Petrol emits 2.3 An Electric battery stores the energy that required to propel the vehicle and the electric vehicle converts electric energy stored in the battery to mechanical energy using electric motors. Carbon dioxide emission of Autogas is around 15% less than that of petrol. #9 It is not a low value.

Biogas Climate Benefit Greater Than Previously Thought

Green Car Congress

The plant we have studied is fairly representative of an average biogas plant that processes waste and manure. Another suggestion is to cover the bio-fertilizer stores to reduce the losses of nitrogen and reduce dilution with rain water. The plant has already implemented this measure.

Naysayer Alert – the hydrogen red herring

My Electric Car

More significantly it must be realized that hydrogen, just like a battery, is not an energy source in itself, but simply a means of storing energy. The only by products are water and a fair degree of heat, the latter indicating a degree of inefficiency and wasted energy.

UK wants to ban 100% ICE power by 2030

EV Info

Boris has spoken and started the end of the petrol engine in the UK. Under Boris’s new Green plan, the sale of new combustion engine vehicles, that are powered wholly by Petrol or Diesel will be banned from 2030. More on this later, but on producing hydrogen from water, there is a major drawback.

To put it another way, instead of splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen with electricity, these two components are joined to make water and electricity The electricity is then utilized to power the car’s drive train, leaving just water as a waste product. Why Fuel cells are Preferred?
