Melbourne,VIC,Australia -RMIT University/PHYSorg -November 10, 2011: -- RMIT University researchers have developed Australia’s first hydrogen fuel cell truck, demonstrating how vehicle design and new sustainable technologies can make freight transport clean, green and silent... Professor Aleksandar Subic, Head of the School of Aerospace, Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, said given the carbon tax, emissions trading and rising diesel costs, new sustainable technologies offered industry a way of stabilising costs... The hydrogen-powered electrical system could also supply power for truck air-conditioning and radio, along with a trailer refrigeration unit. Hydrogen refilling stations are powered through solar PV panels... Road freight transport is a $35 billion industry in Australia, and the nation has some of the highest freight levels per capita in the world. Trucks account for about 20 per cent of Australia’s greenhouse emissions by road vehicles...
* USA / DC - Capitol Hill Mobile Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Infrastructure Briefing
Irvine,CAL,USA -Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy Association, by Ben Engleman -8 Nov 2011: -- Yesterday, the Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy Association (FCHEA) partnered with the National Fuel Cell Research Center (NFCRC) at the University of California – Irvine (UCI), and the House of Representatives Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Caucus to hold a briefing in the US Capitol. The briefing was the second of three sessions this fall where industry representatives come together to educate policymakers and their staff on the state of fuel cell technology and illustrate where policy support can help propel the industry forward... Morry Markowitz, Executive Director of FCHEA, gave the opening remarks at the briefing highlighting why FCEVs are truly transformational technology. “Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles are the only zero-emissions vehicles that can replicate our current driving experience,” Markowitz said, “They have ranges of 300 to 400 miles on one tank of hydrogen, and they can be refilled in just a few minutes” ...
* USA - Four-State MOU to Prompt Development of NGVs in USA
* Ireland - Bord Gáis Networks Champions Natural Gas Vehicles for
| Cork,Ireland -NGV Global News -November 18, 2011: -- “CNG, and then renewable bio-CNG [biomethane], should become an integral part of government energy and transport policy” - John Barry, Managing Director of Bord Gáis Networks... Bord Gáis Éireann (Bord Gáis), a commercial energy supplier owned by the Irish State, has delivered the message that Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Natural Gas Vehicles (NGV) can reduce fuel costs by up to 60% for businesses in Ireland, whilst also significantly reducing vehicle emissions, to over 150 transport and energy industry professionals at a Bord Gáis Networks conference this week. The conference was entitled Natural Gas Vehicles – Fuelling Ireland’s Transport Future...
