December 5th, 2011 Aaron Turpen from GreenCarCongress Researchers at the University of Oregon (UO) have developed a boron-nitrogen-based liquid-phase storage material for hydrogen that works safely at room temperature; is both air- and moisture-stable; releases H2controllably and cleanly at temperatures below or at the proton exchange membrane fuel cell waste-heat temperature of 80 °C; utilizes catalysts that are cheap and abundant [...]
Nissan’s New Fuel Cell Much Cheaper
October 16th, 2011 Aaron Turpen Nissan Motor Co has announced that their latest fuel cell stack for testing in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles is 1/6th the cost of its 2005 predecessor and provides double the power density. This incredible step forward is thanks to better structuring of the cells to cut its size in half and reducing the use of [...]

August 4th, 2011 Aaron Turpen BMW is heavily vested in hydrogen fuel cells and has been investigating using landfill gases to create hydrogen (H2) for use in hydrogen-powered vehicles. They’ve had an experimental plant in South Carolina since 2003. The plant, located in Spartanburg, SC, has been porting methane gas from a nearby Waste Management garbage dump, siphoning the gases [...]

July 4th, 2011 Aaron Turpen from FutureCars.com When it comes to hydrogen fuel cell vehicles(HFCVs for those in the know), there are two questions that consistently come up. Whether you’re new to the alt-fuel realm or have been following it for years, these questions still need answering. Are there any available car models that use a hydrogen fuel cell? This question [...]
