British scientists are to send an experimental radiation shield made from a solid form of hydrogen fuel for testing on the International Space Station.

The technique offers substantial benefits for the renewable energy sector because of its high level of energy efficiency. At present, hydrogen can only be extracted from biomass using large amounts of energy. Wet biomass must be dried extensively before it ...

PTT plans to produce 4 million litres per month of a special-grade biodiesel called bio-hydrogen diesel (BHD) with 15-per-cent palm-oil content. Veerapol Jirapraditkul, director-general of the Energy Ministry's department of energy business, said gasohol ...

8 - Using the power of sunlight, Swiss scientists are developing methods of extracting inexpensive, safely transportable, hydrogen fuel from iron oxide - commonly known as rust. The process essentially converts solar power into hydrogen, vastly increasing the ...

By now we all know that renewable energy can be as unpredictable and unreliable as the weather it depends on. A German company is looking to bridge that reliability gap using hydrogen as an energy storage system.

Erik Koepf, a doctoral candidate at the University of Delaware, is working on a solar reactor project that produces hydrogen from a chemical reaction causing sunlight to split water, but its efficiency is still unknown. In March, he'll be traveling to Zurich, Switzerland to test the reactor at full power for the very first time

It is predicted that by 2025 hydrogen fuel should cost the same as diesel, while offering zero tailpipe pollution and 'well-to-wheel' Co2 emissions of under 45g/km, compared with 140g/km for diesel. Speaking this morning in Westminster, Michael Fallon, ...

The MyFC PowerTrekk is a novel accessory for powering your iPhone. Just add water. The company’s booth on the Macworld/iWorld show floor was one of a very few where visitors could expect a science lesson along with the product demonstration. The product in question? It’s for charging your iPhone or other USB-connecting device, with a special focus on clean technology: hydrogen fuel cells

Governator says 'I still drive my Hummers but now they are all on hydrogen and biofuel technology.'

Work is to commence on creating the UK's first hydrogen powered transport system across London and the south-east.

A consortium of companies will begin work on a three year London Hydrogen Network Expansion (LHNE) project to create the UK's first hydrogen powered transport system across London and the South East.

According to University at Buffalo researchers, super-small particles of silicon react with water to produce hydrogen almost instantaneously. The scientists created spherical silicon particles about 10nm in diameter.
