Cultivating algae to produce biofuels is, like, so yesterday. How about using algae to generate clean hydrogen fuel instead? That’s what researchers in the US hope to achieve. They say they might have identified a way to combine the photosynthesising powers of algae with a platinum catalyst to produce a steady supply of hydrogen. Some tout hydrogen as the clean-burning fuel of the future, as its main byproducts upon reacting with oxygen are energy and water. Great in theory, but actually producing the hydrogen has up until now been the tricky bit, as most of the processes use take a lot of energy. A ... Read Full Story

Imagine a car that can be refuelled in minutes but emits only water. Sounds like science fiction? In fact it already exists -- Hollywood star Jamie Lee Curtis has one. So does Honda president Takanobu Ito. Yet while some see them as the ultimate environmentally-friendly automobiles, the high production cost means that affordable hydrogen-powered fuel-cell cars are still more of a dream than reality. Manufacturers such as Honda, however, are making a renewed push behind the vehicles, which run on electricity generated by a reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, belching out nothing more harmful than water vapour. "We believe that the fuel-cell electric vehicle ... Read Full Story

TOKYO/SEOUL (Reuters) - Toyota Motor Corp is ramping up its push on gasoline-electric hybrids, launching a new model in Japan and taking on up-and-coming rival Hyundai Motor Co in its Korean home market with its flagship Prius. Looking a step beyond hybrids, the head of Honda Motor Co said he was considering launching electric vehicles in the United States, Europe and Japan, indicating a shift in the strategy of Japan's No.2 car maker for zero-emission cars. Toyota, the world's largest automaker, said on Tuesday it aims to sell 36,000 units a year of its new Sai hybrid sedan in Japan, taking another step toward ... Read Full Story

Yesterday, a special bus to enter the China Science and Technology Museum, Tsinghua University, New Energy Automotive Engineering Center and other organizations developed China’s first hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, the official city bus to the audience. Compared with the traditional passenger car, it has a green energy-saving, low noise and so on. According to reports, the end of this bus into pilot operation. As a national Ministry of Science, “15″ major projects Hydrogen project research results, this project will be within a certain range, an effective solution to our energy crisis, and environmental pollution problems. According to statistics, at present, oil accounts for the ... Read Full Story

Filed under: Emerging Technologies, Hydrogen Gephyrocapsa oceanica - Wikimedia Commons In recent years, algae has gotten a fair bit of attention for its potential use as a feedstock for producing biodiesel. While the net carbon output of algae sourced liquid fuels could be a huge boon to the environment, there is a possible path that could yield zero carbon emissions. Researchers at the University of Tennessee are working on a process to...

The University of Delaware's newest bus, a 22-foot, 22-seat vehicle that runs on hydrogen, tooled around downtown Wilmington on Monday, Nov. 16, carrying some very important riders. U.S. Sen. Thomas R. Carper (D-Del.), U.S. Rep. Michael N. Castle (R-Del.) and Wilmington Mayor James Baker sat inside chatting about various options for transport in the region.

While touted for its potential as a clean fuel, hydrogen has traditionally been produced from fossil fuel sources.___The new hydrogen-producing cell lines produce the same sugars and starches that form the oils coveted for algae biofuel applications, Hankamer said, which in theory could give algae farms two revenue streams: hydrogen and algal biocrude, making them therefore more cost effective. ____Historically, algae project profitability has...
