Mercedes-Benz Citaro FuelCELL-Hybrid Buses Roll in Hamburg

Mercedes-Benz Citaro FuelCELL-Hybrid Buses Roll in Hamburg

Hamburg is one of the most important cities of Germany and has a huge population that depends on public transportation. On that note, the first ten Mercedes-Benz Citaro FuelCELL-Hybrid buses were launched on the streets. The fuel cell hybrid cell is virtually non-polluting and would keep this amazingly chic German city non polluted and clan. It is also [...]

Tokyo Motor Show 2009: Alternative Fuel to Dominate Auto Industry

The Tokyo Motor Show 2009 saw a number of new cars, both electric and conventional all vying against each other. What makes this year’s show different is that many companies are already talking about mass producing hydrogen powered cars. Honda president Takanobu Ito revealed that hydrogen powered cars are still a farfetched dream but the future [...]
Hydrogen fuel cell-powered plane sets a new record

Hydrogen fuel cell-powered plane sets a new record

In the American Navy research laboratories it was developed a hydrogen fuel cell-powered plane that was capable to fly during more than 23 hours in a test accomplished last week. The Íon Tiger, as it is called, got to fly during that period without emitting any pollutant particle and its motor is silent, a secondary conquest of that project. For who [...]
Electricity generated by bacteria

Electricity generated by bacteria

A research driven by Harvard scientists believe in the power generated by bacteria to generate electricity. The research points to a possible commercialization of a technology known as microbial fuel cell (MFC). MFC is constituted of a biological part and by a electrochemical reactor that could generate renewable energy. That system is capable to use [...]
Micro-sized Direct Methanol Fuel Cells Attain 75% Efficiency

Micro-sized Direct Methanol Fuel Cells Attain 75% Efficiency

Technology has found many alternatives to the conventional lithium ion batteries. A new study by the French researcher has raised the chances of micro-sized direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC) which have 16 times more energy potential compared to the Li-ion batteries which may be soon replaced by the former. The researcher had increased the efficiency [...]
