Scientists show the mechanisms by which hydrogen absorption via exposure to hydrogen gas and corrosion compromises the properties of high-strength steel One of the many ways to reduce the energy required for transportation is to make vehicles lighter. High-strength (HS) steels are perfect candidate materials for this purpose, as their higher weight-to-strength ratio allows for […]
New fuel cell efficiently generates electricity without costly precious-metal catalysts Conventional hydrogen fuel cells hold great promise as clean, efficient sources of energy for vehicles and other applications, but they rely on precious-metal catalysts that drive up their cost. Now scientists have created a precious-metal-free hydrogen fuel cell with a record-high performance and durability and […]
Panasonic Corp. is turning a fuel-cell factory in the lakeside city of Kusatsu in central Japan into what could be the world’s first hydrogen-based plant powered entirely by renewable energy. Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga’s October pledge to make Japan carbon-neutral has been a “tailwind” for Panasonic’s hydrogen-factory project, and the company intends to commercialize the […]

India’s heavy duty transport market is set to rapidly expand and with it associated carbon emissions present both a huge challenge and an opportunity New Delhi: The potential scale of hydrogen use in India is huge and can increase in a ange between 3 times and 10 times by 2050, facilitating the transition to a […]
