Hydrogen: News, Events & Developments

Driving Across America

A group of hydrogen cars went on a trip. This was unlike any other trip that has taken place. They drove from the State of Maine to California. The point was to prove the reliability and viability of fuel celled cars. Ironically as Reuterspointed out, at some points they needed to be carried on trucks due to the lack of fueling stations. Close but no cigar.

Hydrogen Station in Missouri

Missouri got its first hydrogen fuel station. That is very exciting news as we hear more and mroe about hydrogen fuel cell cars. Stories like these will be popping up. In order to have a hyrdogen cars, there will need to be places to fill them up. If you are in Missouri, stop by Missouri University Science and technology(that is where it is).

Government Grant

The Department of Energy just announced that they are releasing more than 15 million dollars in funding for hyrdogen storage research.

REB's View of Hydrogen and the Energy Picture

The Fujitsu Company becomes the first Silicon Valley Company to install hydrogen fuel cell power. This is an important step. In order to reduce the burning of fossil fuels, private companies must embrace the change.

General Motors has developed a concept hydrogen car which features a hydrogen tank along with a fuel cell stack. The biggest hurdle to the car is that the fuel cell stacks will only last 50,000 miles. Honda came out with its new fuel cell car which can go about 350 miles per refill. Other car companies have come out with their own fuel cell, hydrogen cars as well.
