One of the hallmarks of western civilization is the increasingly efficient use of energy. For energy to be useable it must be transportable; very rarely is a source of energy and a use of energy found at the same location....
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.
Tiger Optics Tiger Optics’ Prismatic™ Multi-Species Gas Analyzer won the first annual “Best of Show” award at PITTCON this year. Tiger Optics LLC (www.tigeroptics.com) is a leading manufacturer of laser-based trace gas analyzers.
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).
Fossil fuels — petroleum, coal, and natural gas — represent mainstream energy sources: alternative fuels include everything else — from biomass to nuclear. Most of the energy consumed in the US, about 84 percent, comes from fossil...
Moving your business to the next level can feel like jumping off a cliff — you know you need to make a leap, but you are not sure where you will land. With a clear vision of...
