| The Future of Hydrogen Powered Cars | Contributed by | ITM Power | Feb 2013 |
Over one and a half million hydrogen powered vehicles could be on UK roads by 2030 according to a joint Government-industry study. |
| DRIVING THE HONDA CIVIC HYBRID | David Lockie | Apr 2009 |
The electric motor gave the car a very smooth acceleration, with gear changes needed less often than I'm used to, and a very smooth delivery of power. The electric motor also seemed to smooth the gear changes so rather than the jerky transition you can get when accelerating and changing gear, it was altogether a more refined experience. | |
| MR. PICKENS ... WHAT ABOUT PLUG-IN HYBRIDS? | Elisa Wood | www.realenergywriters.com | Oct 2008 |
Plug-in cars appear to be a natural companion to wind power. Presumably car owners would plug their vehicles in at night to recharge. Evening is typically a windy time, so turbines would whir, pushing power into the grid to feed the cars. |
| Re-tooling Transportation | Bill James and Charlie Fletcher | Apr 2008 |
Powered by cheap oil, the circulatory system of our economy has globalized, expanding populations, wealth, specialization beyond all historical measure. Yet the founding assumption of our success has failed and we are coasting on the momentum of cheap oil. Increasing supply of cheap oil peaked in May 2005. Since that peak gas prices and home foreclosures have skyrocketed as more and more people cannot afford their commute, food and house payments. The evaporation of Bear Stearns indicates the accelerating rate of consequences. | |
| THIS FIGHT WAS RIGGED | Steve Clemens | Prof. Environmental Economics | Feb 2008 |
Any industry has indeed the right to look out for its interests. However, will it not look ridiculous if the so-called tough emissions standards hit the streets (pun intended) at the same time as top-notch top-range luxury vehicles such as the Mercedes S-class, already operating well within compliance? |
| PAVING THE WAY FOR CARS OF THE FUTURE | Future Cars | Feb 2008 |
With a sudden burst of momentum, where do we take the next step in 2008? Production and delivery will be key. Many future car enthusiasts were promised new technologies only to be burned with failures of delivery in the manufacturing facilities. Cost efficient fuel is a must. Build a better battery and they will come. | |
| FUEL CELL TECHNOLOGY UPDATE | Fuelcells | Feb 2008 |
Here in the U.S., a comprehensive energy bill was just signed into law - we have included a great overview of what is included and how it affects the industry at the end of the article. | |
| Hydrogen stations are springing up everywhere! | Sandra Curtin | FuelCells.org | Aug 2007 |
Spring has been a busy period for hydrogen fueling stations, with five stations recently opening worldwide. |
| Fuel Cells Do Some Heavy Lifting | Jennifer Gangi | Fuel Cells 2000 | Jun 2007 |
While fuel cell passenger vehicles are still several years down the road, forklifts provide an excellent framework to showcase the potential of fuel cell technology while providing a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly alternative for distribution centers. |
| Taking the Green Route with Fuel Cell Buses | Lisa Callaghan | FuelCells.org | Apr 2007 |
Fuel cell buses appear destined to be a major part of transit fleets, reducing petroleum dependence and providing a truly zero emission mobility option. |
| Fuel Cell Technology Update | FuelCells.org | FuelCells.org | Dec 2006 |
Here are some developments in the Fuel Cell Industry provided for us by FuelCells.org |
| Alkaline Fuel Cell for Backup Power | Peter K. Nor | Astris Energi Inc. | Dec 2005 |
Fuel cells are only starting to enter the marketplace and due to the many operational and cost benefits they offer they should start to be accepted on an accelerated basis. |
