Breaking hydrogen industry news, advancement and developments.
More than 1,000 people are expected to attend this year’s Fuel Cell & Hydrogen Energy Conference (formerly the National Hydrogen Association Conference & Expo) which will be held in the Washington D.C. area, February 13–16, 2011. This event, like the NHA...
Memphis-based nexAir (www.nexair. com) has been a leader in the distribution of atmospheric gases and welding supplies since its founding in 1940. A family-owned and operated business now being led by a third generation, nexAir is one of the largest distributors...
The language is changing in hydrogen and fuel cell circles these days. That was evident at the NHA Hydrogen Conference & Expo held May 3–6, 2010, in Long Beach CA, where “ifs” were largely replaced by “whens” as industry stakeholders and...
The hydrogen market is defined by two distinct segments: the large scale Onsite/ Pipeline (OSP) market and Merchant market. Each segment has unique market drivers and economics of hydrogen supply. The OSP market supplies large quantities of hydrogen to segments such...
If you’ve been paying attention to the interest in everything green, you’ve probably noticed the push to put cars into showrooms that don’t pollute the planet, don’t require gasoline, and don’t cost an arm and a leg. Right now, there...
As government regulation and consumer preference creates a growing, worldwide demand for clean energy and energy-efficient devices, many scientists, policy makers, and industry leaders are considering hydrogen and fuel cells as ways to power everything from portable electronic devices, to cars, to...
The National Hydrogen Association (NHA) Hydrogen Conference & Expo attracts attendees from virtually every segment of the hydrogen and fuel cell industry, including hydrogen technology customers, members of state and federal governments, researchers, and more.
The hurdles to making hydrogen a commercially viable energy source are not unlike those encountered when electricity, oil, or natural gas were introduced. The transmission and use of power requires infrastructure and technology specific to the fuel source — electricity requires...
For nearly a century, catalyst-impregnated ceramic pellet media has driven Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) reactions in hydrogen plants. Catacel Corporation (Garrettsville, Ohio) (www.catacel.com) has tested and perfected a new higher performance alternative — the Stackable Structural Reactor (SSR®) (Figure 1).
Zero emissions is the end game that everyone is after. To be able to drive a vehicle that emits no pollutants may not have seemed realistic a few decades ago, but with the continued development of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles,...
