How to recharge the hydrogen safely, quickly and affordably

Gabriel — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 19:38:20 +0000

One day, U.S. roads could hold large numbers of cars and trucks powered by hydrogen, but issues around recharging the hydrogen, or filling the tank, must be addressed. In a recent study, scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory showed that materials made from abundant and inexpensive metals could recharge an amine borane-based hydrogen storage system. […]

Hybrid energy storage in trains

Gabriel — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 19:38:03 +0000

Researchers are investigating how to make diesel-powered trains more eco-friendly. One way is to implement a hybrid energy storage system that both could lower fuel consumption up to 13 percent and reduce harmful idling emissions. Hydro-mechanical diesel multiple units (DMUs), multiple unit trains powered by diesel engines, are needed in regional traffic. At the Instituteof […]
