  • Transportation Through Hydrogen Fuelled Vehicles in India
    APPENDIX - VII REPORT ON TRANSPORTATION THROUGH HYDROGEN FUELLED VEHICLES IN INDIA Prepared by Sub-Committee on Transportation through Hydrogen Fuelled Vehicles of the Steering Committee on Hydrogen Energy and Fuel Cells Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India, New Delhi June, 2016 PREFACE In the present scenario, transportation sector is the lifeline of any economy but it is a major contributor to air pollution and greenhouse gas effect, causing health hazardous to living beings and increases earth’s atmospheric temperature (which result melting of glaciers and rise of water level in seas / ocean) respectively. The reserves of conventional sources of energy like coal and petroleum will rapidly be depleted due to continuous increasing energy demand. The transportation sector can alternatively be managed with hydrogen as fuel, which emits only water vapours and conventional sources of energy may be utilized for non-energy purpose. The hydrogen fueled vehicles based on internal combustion and fuel cell based technology (known as Zero Emission Vehicles) have been developed decades ago and are under demonstration in many countries. However, the industry experienced ups and downs in the interest of these vehicles due to various international reasons. In view of the climate change, it is becoming compulsive to promote carbon based to carbon neutral technologies. India is also concerned about its contribution to climate change and therefore has been giving significant impetus to generation & usage of new and renewable energy e.g. solar and wind. Hydrogen energy has also been a focus of attention for quite some time. Unfortunately, required emphasis could not be given primarily due to resource crunch and therefore the progress is lagging far behind in the global race.

The California Fuel Cell Partnership and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory collaborated to develop a national hydrogen safety training resource for emergency responders. The resource provides a single repository of credible and reliable information related to hydrogen and fuel cells that is current and accurate and eliminates duplicative efforts among various training programs. This approach will enable government and private training organizations nationwide to develop their own training programs with consistent hydrogen and fuel cells content and standards. See more information about using this resource. Introduction to Hydrogen Safety for First Responders DOE's Introduction to Hydrogen Safety for First Responders is a Web-based course that provides an "awareness level" overview of hydrogen for fire, law enforcement, and emergency medical personnel. This multimedia tutorial acquaints first responders with hydrogen, its basic properties, and how it compares to other familiar fuels; hydrogen use in fuel cells for transportation and stationary power; potential hazards; initial protective actions should a responder witness an incident; and supplemental resources including videos, supporting documents, and links relevant to hydrogen safety. Hydrogen Safety Training for Researchers Laboratory researchers and technical personnel handling hydrogen need basic information on pressure, cryogenics, flammability, asphyxiation, and other risks and precautions for using hydrogen. The objective of the Hydrogen Safety Training for Researchers interactive online course is to provide basic hydrogen safety training.

While in other sectors the emissions go down, transport emissions continue to increase. Alternative fuels have prominent advantages for reducing emissions of greenhouse gases and pollutants. Furthermore they help alleviating the dependence on fossil fuel consumption in the transport sector.

  • How Hydrogen-Cars Can Be Safely Fueled
    HOW HYDROGEN-CARS CAN BE SAFELY FUELED On Swiss roads only a few dozen passenger cars use hydrogen as fuel. But the CO2- free drive technology has great potential. To enable hydrogen cars to be more widely used, a nationwide network of fueling stations is required. The Swiss Federal Labo- ratories for Materials Science and Technology (Eidgenössische Materialprüfungs- und Forschungsanstalt, Empa) is currently investigating technical and legal issues to faci- litate the construction of hydrogen fuel filling stations. First solution concepts are on the table. The three fuel dispensers of the “move” project at Empa provide different fuels: methane (front), a methane-hydrogen mixture (middle) and hydrogen (rear).

Innsatsen har resultert i den brenselcelle- elektriske ix35 FCEV (Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle) med hydrogen som drivstoff og null utslipp. Den har tilsvarende prestasjoner som konvensjonelle biler, men med øket komfort. Med rent vann som eneste utslipp har Hyundai nå startet kommersiell produksjon og salg av brenselcelle-elektriske biler, som de første i bilindustrien. Nye ix35 Fuel Cell er ikke bare en fremtidsdrøm og fantasi; den er på veien akkurat nå. nYe Tider Det tradisjonelle inntrykket av store firehjulstrekkere og lite miljøvennlige biler har mistet sin mening med introduksjonen av ix35 FCEV.

  • Fuel Cell Vehicle - Wikipedia 1 of 23
    Fuel cell vehicle - Wikipedia 1 of 23 Fuel cell vehicle A fuel cell vehicle (FCV) or fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) is an electric vehicle that uses a fuel cell, sometimes in combination with a small battery or supercapacitor, to power its onboard electric motor. Fuel cells in vehicles generate electricity generally using oxygen from the air and compressed hydrogen. Most fuel cell vehicles are classified as zero-emissions vehicles that emit only water and heat. As compared with internal combustion vehicles, hydrogen vehicles centralize pollutants at 2015 Toyota Mirai the site of the hydrogen production, where hydrogen is typically derived from reformed natural gas. Transporting and storing hydrogen may also create pollutants.[1] Fuel cells have been used in various kinds of vehicles including forklifts, especially in indoor applications where their clean emissions are important to air quality, and in space applications. The first commercially produced hydrogen fuel cell automobile, the Hyundai Tucson FCEV, was introduced in 2013, Toyota Mirai followed in 2015 and then Honda entered the market.[2][3] Fuel 2017 Honda Clarity Fuel Cell cells are being developed and tested in trucks, buses, boats, motorcycles and bicycles, among other kinds of vehicles. As of 2020, there was limited hydrogen infrastructure, with fewer than fifty hydrogen fueling stations for automobiles publicly available in the U.S.,[4] but more hydrogen stations are planned, particularly in California, where, as of 2019, according to Hydrogen View, there had been over
