Bloom Energy Corporation, a company based in Silicon Valley, has launched Bloom Energy Server, which uses solid oxide fuel cell technology. This fuel cell is more reliable, cleaner as well as affordable. It is a cheaper alternative to grid electricity as well as conventional renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and biomass. The Bloom Energy Server can be used by clients as a clean energy source for distributed power production onsite.
Pike Research has released a new report on fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) in which it has predicted that the commercialization of light duty FCVs will take place by 2014. According to the report, by 2014, FCVs will be available in most parts of the world and sales of these vehicles are set to exceed 2.8 million across the world by 2020.
The acquisition of International Green N-ergy Corporation (IGNC) based in Salt Lake City, Utah, has been completed by Refill Energy. IGNC’s innovative Downdraft Gasification Module, which was fabricated by Ogden-based Petersen Inc., was also acquired by the company.
To pave the way for a hydrogen fuel infrastructure, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Boulder Labs recently launched the largest hydrogen test facility in the United States for evaluating how component parts of such an infrastructure will react to exposure to this potentially corrosive gas in order to develop needed data and standards.
A team of researchers at MIT and Pennsylvania State University has been developing a new method for producing novel kinds of membranes that could have improved properties for batteries, fuel cells and other energy conversion and storage applications.
Catacel Corporation, driving reaction system innovation with patented technologies, is the recipient of a 2010 NorTech Innovation Award in the Advanced Energy, Power & Propulsion category. Catacel was one of more than 40 nominees from Northeast Ohio's manufacturing, industrial, medical and innovation industries.
Siemens Energy has handed over the Sloecentrale combined cycle power plant located in the Dutch town of Vlissingen-Oost to the joint venture of Delta Energy, Netherlands and EDF, France. The natural-gas-fired plant has a very high efficiency level of 59 percent, maximized flexibility and low nitrogen oxide emissions. It will supply more than two million Dutch households with ecofriendly electricity.
Air Products (NYSE:APD) has been awarded the prestigious Rushlight Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Industry Award for its innovative Series 100 Hydrogen Fueling Station technology. The technology, which is helping break down barriers to the development of the hydrogen economy, clearly fit the Award’s aims of promoting and celebrating leading environmental technologies in the United Kingdom (UK) and Ireland.
Hydrogen-powered fuel cells and solar energy are the best hope for a more environmentally friendly and resource-sparing energy supply in the future. A combination of the two is considered to be particularly “clean”: the production of hydrogen by splitting water with sunlight.
A novel strategy for engineering semiconductor materials can boost the performance of water-splitting solar cells for hydrogen production, according to a new study by researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
