Are Hydrogen Engines Truly Zero Emissions?

An overview of the colors of hydrogen. Hydrogen is not readily found in nature, so it must be produced, and the production method is key to determining the life-cycle emissions of a hydrogen internal combustion engine.

­Internal combustion engines (ICE) but without the emissions. The idea is certainly appealing. Keeping the same internal combustion engines (ICE) that have powered cars, buses, and trucks for well over a century, but eliminating the damaging and climate-affecting emissions that escape from the tailpipe. Currently, el

Rust is Key to Hydrogen Storage

Ally Winning, European Editor, PSD

­The largest hold-up to renewable adoption is its intermittent nature. If the wind drops, or blows too strongly, then wind turbines are useless. The same goes for solar panels, which can only generate power during daylight hours, and lose functionality on cloudy days. We require power 24/7, so there is a need to
