Eco Factor: Chicken feathers used to make fuel cells cost-effective. With the demand for chicken increasing substantially, poultry waste is also on the rise, which mainly consists of chicken feathers basically used up in the landfill or...

Eco Factor: Energy-efficient technology to generate hydrogen from water using sunlight. Normally a constituent of toothpastes and sun screen lotions, titania (or titanium dioxide) could revolutionize hydrogen generation if the research...

EcoFactor: New storage system that uses Graphene sheets as layers of carbon nanotubes; helps hydrogen storage capacity match US Department of Energy’s target. One of the major reasons why hydrogen has been not a popular fuel is our incapacity...

Amidst the soaring debates on polluting aircrafts and increasing concerns of global warming across the world, the EU seems up with arms to find a better solution — Funded by the EU, a new project plans to design the ‘first’...

With the world burning under the ‘global warming’ effects, researchers are up with arms to fight carbon dioxide emissions, the key greenhouse gas. As a solution, they have urged to use alternative fuel - biofuels or hydrogen - to run...

A unique facility has been developed that uses electricity from wind turbines for producing and storing pure hydrogen. It has been launched recently by Xcel Energy and the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory....

How would it be, if the owners of the fuel cell vehicles don’t even have to install an expensive and huge hydrogen infrastructure to run their car! And, the car becomes capable of producing hydrogen onboard from water! Its amazing an idea,...

Ethylene can do much more than just building the most common plastic. Interestingly, it can, in future, store hydrogen! — rather, our future “environment-friendly” transportation fuel. This amazing prediction is made by the...

Hybrid cars are booming across the world. And with the increasing awareness on global warming and its effects on our future, the necessity of using alternative energy for these cars like hydrogen has also increased. But for that, easy storing of...

Forget the heavy metal and expansive storage and transportation of hydrogen. Scientists are coming up with conformable polymeric-foam microstructures for on-board storage of hydrogen. The new ‘Hydrostatic Pressure Retainment...
