Fuel Cells

The increased need for energy will require an enormous growth in energy generation capacity, more efficient energy systems and a successful strategy to control greenhouse gas emissions. Hydrogen poses a myriad of possibilities among the various alternative energy strategies. A viable solution to alternative energy generation sources is the development of fuel cells. Rather than “burn” the hydrogen to produce energy, fuel cells directly convert the hydrogen to electricity. Therefore fuel cells have the significant advantages of greater fuel efficiency and they are environmentally friendly.

Fuels Cells: New Material Increases Power Output By More Than 50 Percent
Fuel Cells : 05/19/2008
ScienceDaily (May 19, 2008) — MIT engineers have improved the power output of one type of fuel cell by more than 50 percent through technology that could help these environmentally friendly energy storage devices find a much broader market, particularly in portable electronics.... more

MIT, Sharp and Sony make big steps in advancing fuel cell technology
Fuel Cells : 05/19/2008
Chicago (IL) - We have been hearing about fuel cells as the potential saviors of the PC industry's 8-hour-notebook promise for quite some time, but the technology has yet to make a visible impact in products that are available to the consumer. In what appears to be a big month for fuel cells, Sharp, Sony and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) reported independently from each other significant progress that could take fuel cell closer to production units.... more

More Efficient Fuel Cells, Thanks To A New Catalyst
Fuel Cells : 05/08/2008
Methanol fuel cells are an efficient and sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, but they are still not economically viable. Nevertheless, for his PhD, University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) research chemist, José E. Barranco, has developed new materials that enable the manufacture of cheaper and more efficient methanol fuel cells.... more
