Achieving an even higher range without exhaust fumes: The automotive industry and the aerospace industry are increasingly focusing on alternative forms of propulsion and are also considering hydrogen-powered fuel cells in their deliberations.
Geoscientists from the University of Edinburgh have received funding from the Engineering and Physical Science Research Council (EPSRC) for a £1.4 million research project to investigate the storage of hydrogen in the subsurface.
Durham will head up the £1million Network-H2 project working with Government, industry and other universities.
PNNL develops a durable, inexpensive molybdenum-phosphide catalyst that efficiently converts wastewater and seawater into hydrogen.
The hydrogen produced by the artificial photosynthesis, that is to say, dissociation of the water from the solar energy is an alternative production and promising energy storage compared to the use of fossil fuels and the growing use of batteries with significant impacts on the environment.
Films of platinum only two atoms thick supported by graphene could enable fuel cell catalysts with unprecedented catalytic activity and longevity, according to a study published recently by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
As the second largest, institutionally funded transport research institution in Europe, the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- and Raumfahrt/DLR) uses its transport program to address the big questions involving the future of mobility.
