Research at WSU on hydrogen-powered vehicles progressing ahead

Washington State University (WSU) researchers have progressed ahead in finding out a way to make non-polluting, hydrogen-powered vehicles feasible. The process used by the researchers is a small electrical charge in combination with ethanol and water to produce hydrogen gas. They found that gas can then be used as a carbon-free fuel for motor vehicles.

Researchers at NCSU developed technique for less expensive hydrogen

North Carolina State University researchers have worked on a new technique for withdrawing hydrogen gas from liquid carriers. It is a quicker, and less costly and more energy efficient than previous approaches. Hydrogen fuel does not result in CO2 emissions. And hydrogen refuelling stations could be located at existing gas stations, taking advantage of existing
