Today in Biofuels Opinion: “It is pushing and shoving time in Washington, DC over the use of ethanol”

QC Times: “It is pushing and shoving time in Washington, DC over the use of ethanol. Beyond the ongoing arguments whether it ultimately saves energy or not and what effect it has on food prices, there is a battle waging about the amount of ethanol that should be used in gasoline — which could have [...]

Italian research teams examines ethanol-to-hydrogen fuel cell system

In Italy, researchers at the University of Milano are testing an ethanol-powered GH2-5000 Energy System fuel cell made by Helbio and Exergy Fuel Systems, that produces five KW of electrical energy and five KW of heat energy.
The fuel cell converts ethanol to hydrogen via a catalyst and steam reformation, with the resulting hydrogen delivered into [...]

Researchers discover first stable catalyst to produce hydrogen from ethanol

In the UK, researchers published a new method for generating hydrogen fuel from ethanol in this month’s issue of ChemSusChem. The research team from the University of Aberdeen said that it had created the first stable catalyst that can generate hydrogen from ethanol. The process also creates CO2, but on a sustainable basis because the [...]

Researchers study methane and hydrogen producing organisms on seafloor for biofuels potential

In the submersible Alvin, researchers from UMass are discovering and cataloguing exotic anaerobic microorganisms that grow near volcanic “black smokers” on the ocean floor, and tolerate temperatures of up to 200 degrees F. The researchers hope to study the methane and hydrogen producing organisms for their potential in unlocking improvements in biofuels yields.

Hydrogen Hybrid displays new hybrid fuel cell system, reports 30-50 percent fuel economy boost in testing

In California, Hydrogen Hybrid said that it will display a class 8 semi truck with a modified hydrogen hybrid fuel cell system. The system, according to the company, produces enough hydrogen to increase the truck’s fuel mileage by 30-50 percent and produces 660 gallons of hydrogen per hour. The company said that extensive road testing [...]
