New Hydrogen-Making Method Could Give a Boost to Fuel-Cell Vehicles | MIT Technology Review

The chemical company BASF has found a greener way to make hydrogen, reviving hopes for fuel-cell vehicles.

• By Kevin Bullis on July 23, 2013

Why It Matters

The carbon emissions involved in making hydrogen make fuel-cell vehicles worse for climate change than hybrids.

Hydrogen-powered vehicles have been pitched as a greener alternative to gas-powered vehicles, but one problem with this is that the hydrogen is typically produced from a fossil fuel—natural gas—in a process that releases a lot of carbon dioxide.
BASF, the world’s largest chemical company, may have a solution. It’s developing a process that could cut those emissions in half, making hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles significantly cleaner than electric vehicles in most locations (the environmental benefits of electric cars vary depending on how the electricity is generated). Beyond providing a cleaner source of hydrogen for fuel-cell vehicles, the process could also help clean up industrial processes, like oil refining, that use large amounts of hydrogen.

Hyundai Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles Make Debut in U.K.

in FYI

by NGT News on Tuesday July 23, 2013

Hyundai Motor Co. has delivered the first five of its ix35 hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles as a part of the London Hydrogen Network Expansion project. The company says the ix35 is the world's first full-production hydrogen-powered vehicle. Based on the ix35 compact SUV, this fuel cell vehicle is equipped with a 100 kW fuel cell stack and two hydrogen storage tanks, with a total capacity of about 12.5 pounds. This amount of on-board storage yields a range of approximately 370 miles on a single refueling. The vehicle's maximum speed is about 100 mph. Hyundai says it plans to manufacture 1,000 units of the hydrogen-powered ix35 by 2015 - most of which will be delivered to public-sector and private fleets. The company has already signed contracts to lease the ix35 fuel cell vehicle to municipal fleets in Denmark and Sweden. The company adds that the vehicle can be refueled in two to three minutes.

Bloom Energy fuel cells at eBay headquarters in San Jose, Calif.

TOKYO — When Masayoshi Son, SoftBank’s chief executive, first visited the Silicon Valley fuel cell start-up Bloom Energy late last year, one word came to his mind: crazy.

Go to your Portfolio »

But the fuel cell technology — which promised efficient, cleaner and increasingly inexpensive “energy in a box” — intrigued him. After several more visits, Mr. Son was convinced that Bloom’s sleek fuel cells were a perfect fit for Japan, energy-poor and made even more so by an almost complete shutdown of its nuclear energy program after the 2011 Fukushima disaster.

Now, SoftBank, the $70 billion Japanese technology investment company that completed its $21.6 billion acquisition of Sprint Nextel this month, is setting up a joint venture with Bloom to bring what it calls “energy servers” to Japan, helping the start-up break into its first overseas market.

The deal adds yet another piece to SoftBank’s fast-growing Internet, mobile communications and technology empire, which increasingly straddles Japan and the United States. It also adds fuel cell technology to SoftBank’s alternative energy portfolio, which already includes solar and wind projects, bolstering its position as an emerging player in electricity generation in Japan.

Leaked video shows that BlackBerry IS working on a five-inch touchscreen phone called the A10

• BlackBerry rumoured to be working on a 5-inch phone called A10
• Leaked video and presentation slide thought to show full specifications

BlackBerry is rumoured to be working on a 5-inch touchscreen handset called the A10, or 'Aristo.'
Speculation has been mounting since last week when images of the device surfaced online and now a leaked video and presentation slide, believed to show the phone's full specifications, add weight to these rumours.
The YouTube video has since been removed but screengrabs taken by Crackberry - the BlackBerry fan forum - suggest that the A10 will have a 5-inch touchscreen, an 8MP camera, a dual-core processor with a quad-core GPU and will run the next version of the BlackBerry operating system, BB 10.2.

Researchers are constantly working on ways to power our lives through alternative sources of energy. From power-generating insoles to thermoelectric flashlights, researchers know that plenty of energy could be harvested from the human body, through our movement, our heat, and now, our urine.
Scientists at Bristol University and Bristol Robotics Laboratory have created a fuel cell that uses bacteria to break down urine to generate electricity.

"No one has harnessed power from urine to do this so it's an exciting discovery," said engineer Ioannis Ieropoulos. "The beauty of this fuel source is that we are not relying on the erratic nature of the wind or the sun; we are actually reusing waste to create energy.
The team created the microbial fuel cell by growing bacteria on carbon fiber anodes and then placing them in ceramic cylinders. When urine is placed in the cell, the bacteria breaks down the chemicals in the urine, creating an electrical charge which is stored on a capacitor.
Currently the technology is the size of a car battery containing a stack of the microbial fuel cells and can power a cell phone enough to send texts, browse the web or for a short phone call, but the researchers want to make it even more compact and portable so that it can be carried around easily and used to charge any type of gadget.
The team ultimately hopes that the technology could lead to a smart toilet that can produce electricity from urine.
