Hydrogen Hybrid Technologies * USA - Prepares For Car & Light Truck Aftermarket
Initial Field Trials Successfully Completed
Pickering,ONT,CAN -MarketWatch (CAL,USA) -Aug 28, 2008: -- Hydrogen Hybrid Technologies Inc. and Canadian Hydrogen Energy Company are pleased to announce that, in response to unprecedented demand and in line with its marketing plan, initial field trials have been successfully completed on a Hydrogen Fuel Injection (HFI) system specifically for the Car & Light Truck aftermarket... HFI technology is installed as an add-on to diesel and gasoline engines where it significantly reduces a wide variety of emissions (CO, PM, HC, CO2 and NOx) while simultaneously reducing fuel consumption. Currently, HFI units are being used by long-haul transport trucks, ambulances, municipal buses and other heavy equipment, earning HFI the dominant position as the world's most widely-used on-board electrolysers. The technology is based on electrolysis and the units split water, on-board the ambulance, then vent the hydrogen and oxygen directly into the air intake of the engine. Adding hydrogen significantly improves the efficiency of combustion, in the engine, with significant financial and environmental benefits...
* USA - New Catalyst Boosts Hydrogen as Transport Fuel
OH,USA -The Guardian Unlimited (London,UK), by Alok Jha -21 Aug 2008: -- Umit Ozkan, an Ohio State University professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering, has unveiled an inexpensive method of producing hydrogen from biofuel. She and her team have formed a catalyst that enables hydrogen to be produced from ethanol in the absence of high temperatures or costly metals... The discovery could potentially make it easier to manufacture the gas on a wide scale. Ozkan's catalyst is made from common metals like calcium, cobalt, and cerium oxide. Researchers say the catalyst can generate hydrogen with 90 percent efficiency at approximately 350 degrees Celsius, which is regarded as a low temperature industrially. Ozkan notes that the catalyst costs just $9 per kilogram, compared to $9,000 per ounce for a rhodium-based catalyst. Producing hydrogen from ethanol results in waste gases like carbon dioxide, which researchers say can be sequestered and stored, and methane, which can be combusted to provide some of the energy needed for the conversion process..
