(Natural News) Power utilities in the United States need a resilient backup power to resolve the frequent shutdowns and blackouts across the country caused by heavy snowstorms, hurricanes and other severe weather conditions. Just last month, darkness blanketed Texas amid extreme weather conditions. As a winter storm forced the state’s power grid to the brink […]

(Natural News) Indian tycoon and Asia’s richest man Mukesh Ambani unveiled an ambitious $10 billion plan to scale up zero-carbon hardware in India. Reliance Industries Ltd., the oil- and refining-heavy conglomerate that he controls, plans to spend $8 billion on four “giga factories” to make solar modules, hydrogen, fuel cells and to build a battery […]

(Natural News) The shipping industry produces about three percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, thanks to carbon dioxide-rich bunker fuel. However, the recent push toward zero emissions has prompted shipping lines to look for greener alternatives to power their vessels. Industry experts have eyed hydrogen as a response to this challenge. Currently, hydrogen-powered vessels are […]

(Natural News) Freight trucks powered by hydrogen fuel cells are recently starting to gain ground. Rising interest in them comes contrary to criticism about their inefficiency compared to electric battery-powered counterparts. Despite not being in commercial production, many companies are now turning their heads toward hydrogen fuel cells as a possible alternative for powering delivery […]

(Natural News) Fuel cell technology has been around for some time. The first truly modern fuel cell vehicles came from the 1950s and 1960s, when they were used on experimental vehicles such as the 1966 Electrovan, a van which was outfitted with a fuel cell that took up so much space it could only fit two people. Fuel cell technology was even […]

(Natural News) A waste product of the paper industry may become a source of renewable fuel in the near future, an article in Science Daily states. Swedish researchers have come up with a new fuel cell that runs on lignin. Lignin is very widespread in nature. It serves as the glue that holds together the […]

(Natural News) Solid oxide fuel cells could become more affordable and commonplace thanks to a recent study that successfully identified more than 50 candidate materials, reported a NanoWerk article. The new materials could allow a fuel cell to run at lower temperatures, which leads to a longer lifespan and cheaper costs. Materials researchers from the University of […]

(Natural News) Microbial fuel cell technology shows plenty of promise for generating electricity in places where power sources may be limited, but they haven’t been perfected yet. Now a group of researchers from the Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) have shown that it’s possible to improve their efficiency with the use of modified graphite felt. […]

(Natural News) If you’re going to go down the renewable energy route, you might as well go all the way. That seems to be the idea that Hyundai had in mind when it designed and developed its latest fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV). Dubbed the Hyundai Nexo, it’s the company’s newest FCEV, and it comes […]

(Natural News) There are many researchers from all around the world that are constantly working on their own fuel cell designs in an effort to try and make something that truly works, in the sense of delivering certain levels of power while maintaining stability and showing overall efficiency. Now a group of researchers from the McCormick […]
