While transitioning to hydrogen as an alternative fuel is a great move, it is not enough to achieve the end goal. Realizing its full potential requires maximizing its efficiency across the entire value chain, right from production to storage, transportation, and utilization. ...
Since fuel cells were first developed, they have come to take many forms. Some of these energy systems use methanol as a fuel source to generate electricity, while others use organic waste. The common thread linking all fuel cell systems together is their capability to produce large amounts of...
But what will be the impact on the energy and fuel markets The production of hydrogen through electrolysis will certainly have an important economic impact especially in the transport sector, leading to the creation of a new market and a new supply chain that will change the physiognomy of the...
Unlike previous processes that need specific kind of homogeneous organic waste through specific process to specific fuel, petrolisation is a universal process that accepts all kinds of heterogeneous organic wastes and yields various hydrocarbons with commercial value. Since crude petroleum is not ...
Energy giant AGL this weekunveiled plansto produce hydrogen power at its Loy Yang A coal station. But how do we transform coal, which is often thought of as simply made of carbon, into hydrogen – a completely different element? In fact,coalis not just made of carbon. It also contains ...
How Do Hydrogen Fuel Cells Work? Hydrogen fuel cells are just one of many alternative energy sources that offer a comprehensive list of benefits. A hydrogen fuel cell is comparable to a battery in that it can produce electricity without relying on combustion or emissions. But unlike batteries, ...
How does hydrogen work in a car then? From its tank, the hydrogen is passed through an anode in a fuel-cell. The anode has a catalyst – usually platinum – which forces the hydrogen to split into protons and electrons. The protons get sucked across a ‘proton exchange membrane’ (PEM...
While UK motorists can currently choose from just a handful of FCEV models, technology is set to improve over the coming decade. As FCEVs become more popular and attainable, industry experts maintain hydrogen fuel cell technology will play an important role in helping the UK achieve its n...
Now, chemical reactions are complicated, to say the least, but the basic facts in the case of fuel cells are relatively intuitive. Firstly, you have your fuel, the reactants whose electrons will produce a current in the circuit – in the case of a hydrogen fuel cell, these are ...
Any fossil fuel energy, after industrial utilisation such as combustion and electric generation, is finally emitted in the form of waste heat to the atmosphere. A database on waste heat revealed that a large amount of energy can be saved by reusing the high-temperature industrial waste heat eff...
