A novel hydrogen clathrate hydrate that forms at room temperature and relatively low pressure is a potential solution for the storage and transportation of hydrogen, the most environmentally friendly fuel. Ice is a highly...
Germany’s rescue package will help the country overcome the worst economic crisis in decades by making its economy greener and stronger, finds new analysis. Germany’s economic rescue package announced last week is pointing the...
Norwegian scientists have developed a material which can make hydrogen from water vapor, instead of liquid water. It pays off, because heat is cheaper than electricity, reports Georg Mathisen from Norway. Hydrogen can take over when batteries...
Scientists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and the French gas company Total have succeeded in converting carbon dioxide and hydrogen into methanol. The technology offers realistic market potential. The world is urgently...
Huge floating solar islands on the ocean that produce enough energy to enable CO2-neutral global freight traffic – what sounds like science fiction has now been calculated for the first time by researchers in...
Japanese carmaker Toyota is partnering with China’s prestigious Tsinghua University to develop hydrogen-powered and self-driving cars as well as other green technology. The Tsinghua-Toyota Joint Research Institute will seek to research green tech while...
Recent discoveries are finding new and better ways to derive power from hydrogen oxide, part of a worldwide push to harness the latent power in water and put an end to carbon-based fuels. By...
Food waste and by-products could make sustainable plastic and energy without petrochemicals, according to German researchers. The discovery has big implications for those seeking new, cost-efficient methods of manufacturing. “We could take a big...
Bacteria could make underground nuclear waste deposits safer, new research has revealed. Scientists discovered that the bacteria could increase safety by consuming hydrogen. A new study has discovered a microbial community made up of...
A conference on fuel cells in vehicles organised by Swiss research institutes in the greater Zurich region looked at the sustainability of using hydrogen as a fuel. Fuel-cell vehicles are currently in a transition...
Scientists at Stanford University have developed a cheap and efficient way to extract clean-burning hydrogen fuel from water 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The low-cost water splitter uses a single catalyst...
Toyota is making its fuel cell patents freely available to help promote and further develop fuel cell hydrogen technology. At nearly the same time that the game-changing announcement was made, Japanese media reported that...
