- Crystal Sponge – A Hydrogen Breakthrough? - In
what could be a breakthrough on the road to a pollution-free hydrogen
economy, researchers say they have developed a “crystal sponge” material
that can store nearly three times more hydrogen than any other known
substance. Obstacles to mass market vehicles that some day run on
hydrogen include storage capacity. Chemists at UCLA and the University
of Michigan claim their material is the first to achieve the kind of
storage capacities required to make hydrogen fuel practical. They are
publishing their findings in late March in the Journal of the American
Chemical Society. Read more from this MSNBC article
- Scientists cite breakthrough in producing pure hydrogen
- The heart of the plan is an improvement on the most efficient way to
extract hydrogen, which is to run electric current through water,
splitting molecules into hydrogen and oxygen, called electrolysis. The new
method involves running electricity through water that has a high
temperature. As the water molecule breaks up, a ceramic sieve separates
the oxygen from the hydrogen. – Energy Bulletin, Nov
2004

Scientists in Australia say they have have made a breakthrough in the
efficiency of using sunlight to generate hydrogen from water. It may be
a step toward an affordable source of clean energy - Aug 2004 by National Geographic News

- Sweet Success for Pioneering Hydrogen Energy Project -
Bacteria that can munch through confectionery could be a valuable source
of non-polluting energy in the years ahead, new research has shown. In a
feasibility study funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences
Research Council, bioscientists at the University of Birmingham have
demonstrated that these bacteria give off hydrogen gas as they consume
high-sugar waste produced by the confectionery industry. Read more from

- Hydrogen Electrolyzer Award - Popular Mechanics magazine
has awarded GE (General Electric) Global Research its 2006 Breakthrough
Award. The award was given in recognition of GE’s development of an
advanced hydrogen electrolyzer. The Electrolyzer has the potential to
lower the cost of producing hydrogen energy through the water
electrolysis process. GE’s electrolyzer was recognized for its potential
to make hydrogen production by water electrolysis economically feasible.
The novel design makes extensive use of GE-developed materials such as
the plastic, Noryl™ and also efficient GE processes - for instance,
metal coating techniques from GE’s aircraft engine products are used to
make high performance electrodes with very low processing costs. Read

- Hydrogen Storage: Researchers On The Brink Of Technology
Breakthrough - Chemists at the University of New Brunswick in
Fredericton, in collaboration with HSM Systems, Inc., are developing a
technology that will revolutionize the way hydrogen is stored. The goal
is to produce a safe, compact storage system for hydrogen that is both
lightweight and affordable. While the storage system is being
developed for markets such as the chemical industry and universities, it
could have implications for hydrogen-powered transportation in future.
In the simplest terms, they're storing hydrogen in a lightweight metal
powder. One trick is to make light metal hydrides that hold more
hydrogen atoms. Read more from this University of New
Brunswick report, Mar 2005

About Oilgae - Oilgae - Oil & Biodiesel from Algae
has a focus on biodiesel production from algae while also discussing
alternative energy in general. Algae present an exciting possibility as a
feedstock for biodiesel, and when you realise that oil was originally
formed from algae - among others - you think "Hey! Why not oil
again from algae!"
To facilitate exploration of oil production from algae as well as exploration
of other alternative energy avenues, Oilgae provides web links, directory,
and related resources for algae-based biofuels / biodiesel along with inputs
on new inventions, discoveries & breakthroughs in other alternative
energy domains such as solar, wind, nuclear, hydro, geothermal, hydrogen
& fuel cells, gravitational, geothemal, human-powered, ocean & wave /
tidal energy.
