Demand for more efficient vehicles

Just a summary and update on my ongoing research into Hydrogen as an alternative, efficient and sustainable fuel source... seems as though it is becoming more common than first thought. With all major companies having had a go at it at one stage or another.. none      really having any HUGE success, 
however.. with the rapidly developing technology and the search/DEMAND to cut back on fuel emissions, Hydrogen will definitely be making its mark in the near future

Its no motorbike.. BUT Toyota have announced there plan to release a Fuel Cell fully powered hydrogen sedan in 2015


With Emission regulations getting ever tougher, even Toyota (with the success they have with the Prius) is seeking out ways to offer even “greener” vehicles

"One of the main offerings of a hydrogen economy is that the fuel can replace the fossil fuel burned in internal combustion engines and turbines as the primary way to convert chemical energy into kinetic or electrical energy; hereby eliminating greenhouse gas emissions and pollution from that engine."


A very interesting and informative animation article I found on how a Hydrogen Fuel Cell works if anyone is keen to have a look:

This gave me a greater insight into the workings of Fuel Stack (a stack of fuel cells) in terms of how it converts the oxygen and hydrogen into electricity; which powers the electric motor





Another innovative prospect of having a solar/wind powered hydrogen generator in your home garage, so you effectively are able to generate and store your own fuel using a natural means of energy. ZERO EMMISIONS..

this begs the question though, of what if its a cloudy, non-windy day? perhaps a plug in alternative is needed also to combat this. Nevertheless it is inspiring to see alternative fuel processes which are striving to stay away from petrol combustion engines. 






Clean Hydrogen In European Cities:http://chic-project.eu/

Larger example and very fitting to our target area, of an initiative set up throughout Europe for the full commercialisation of Hydrogen fuel celled buses, to eliminate the environmental issues associated with public transport.


-Fuel stations and infrastructure
-Advancement of hydrogen storage technology-Efficiency of hydrogen engine/motor
these are just some of the many benefits that this project is creating.. which will be able to be adapted into other hydrogen vehicles, including the H2onda Hydrogen Hybrid
