Inergio prototype to pave way for mini hydrogen fuel cells

Inergio, a start-up created by Swiss company EPFL, has unveiled a prototype for a lightweight, eco-friendly, high-performance fuel cell that could, in the future, lead to miniature hydrogen fuel cells.

Despite the fuel cell’s size, which measures 25cm long by 14cm high and wide, Inergio says it can successfully supply 25W when there is no access to a power grid and hydrogen.

Fabricantes europeus viram costas ao hidrogénio

O CEO da Volkswagen AG, Herbert Diess, afirmou ao Financial Times que não acredita nas fuel cells a hidrogénio como solução para produzir electricidade a bordo de veículos eléctricos. Segundo o gestor, “nem nos próximos 10 anos vão ser utilizadas em massa nos automóveis, uma vez que a física que as suporta não é razoável”. Para depois especificar que os carros alimentados por células de combustível continuam a necessitar de baterias, cerca de 10 kWh, e um motor eléctrico, além da própria célula que associa hidrogénio ao oxigénio presente no ar, para com isso fabricar energia e água quente.

Don't believe hydrogen and nuclear hype – they can’t get us to net zero carbon by 2050

Now that the whole world seems to be aligned behind the goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050, the nuclear industry is straining every sinew to present itself as an invaluable ally in the ambitious aim. Energy experts remain starkly divided on whether or not we can reach this global net zero target without nuclear power, but regardless, it remains a hard sell for pro-nuclear enthusiasts.

Fossil hydrogen is coming – time to learn what it will look like

As I mused earlier this year, hydrogen is something of an entirely novel challenge for the climate and energy community. It is literally transformational. It can be produced from the worst, most carbon intensive fossil fuels, or it can be produced from the cheapest, cleanest sources, with everything in between. The end product is identical – a couple of hydrogen molecules squished together, which can be cleanly burned to power things.
