Sentences with phrase «hydrogen generating technologies»

The market for climate - friendly hydrogen generating technologies can only expand in a world striving to mitigate climate change.

Not exact matches

The exciting implication is that next - generation wastewater treatment plants could use new technologies, including microbe - powered fuel cells, to capture enough methane, hydrogen, and other fuels from wastewater to generate all the energy they need, and then some.

Eventually, he adds, the technology might generate hydrogen at a fueling station or even aboard a vehicle, thus avoiding the expense and hassle of storing and transporting hydrogen gas.

Hydrogen fuel cells, which expel only water and heat as waste, are an appealing way to generate clean electricity, but the present technology relies on expensive platinum catalysts.

Why It Matters: Reducing our nation's reliance on fossil fuels relies on creating technologies to quickly and efficiently convert the power generated at wind farms and other sources into a use - any - time fuel, such as hydrogen molecules.

I've often thought the most appropriate application of fuel cell technology would be for windmills and solar installations to generate hydrogen with a portion of their energy, which could be used in an adjacent stationary fuel cell when they don't.

Technically this can be addressed in many ways; but fundamentally the machine, engine, transmission and operation must all become more efficient or there must be a change in technology away from current fuels into areas such as hydrogen and non-combustion generated electricity.

Carbon combustion generated 80 % of someone's energy, but it sure as heck doesn't constitute much of the energy of people who can take advantage of cheaper geothermal, hydro or natural gas (which is largely hydrogen combustion); and as the price of solar and wind plummet and the practicality of extracting fossil other than gas drops like a stone in lock step with the advances of competing technologies, what sort of backwards knuckle - dragger actually wants the choking and fumes and leaks and inconvenience and dust and soot and sulfates?

Areas receiving modest cuts or level funding in the Energy Department's FY17 budget included solar and wind energy programs aimed at expanding renewable power and lowering costs for these clean energy technologies; work to advance hydrogen and fuel cellElectrochemical device in which electricity is generated by chemically reacting hydrogen with oxygen; electricity, water vapor, and heat are the only products.
