After years of unmet promises, hydrogen vehicles could finally be catching on. If so, it'll be a convoy of clean semi-trucks — not a bunch of quirky passenger cars — leading the way.The big picture: We've been hearing about zero-emission, fuel-cell vehicles for decades as the answer to our worries…

Hyundai and affiliate Kia were the world's biggest combined seller of hydrogen fuel-cell cars from January to July this year and the fourth-largest of electric cars. The Korea Automotive Technology Institute on Sunday said Hyundai and Kia sold 2,879 hydrogen vehicles in the first seven months, a 59-percent increase from…

(Bloomberg) — Chile’s government is considering ways to boost the attractiveness of green-hydrogen projects as the biggest copper-producing nation strives to become carbon neutral.“We will announce the details early November,” Energy Minister Juan Carlos Jobet said in an interview in Santiago. “It will come in the form of some financial…

Research continues into alternative and sustainable environmental technologies. Emerging processes include generating hydrogen from biogases; the development of methods to convert carbon dioxide into fuel; and molecular photoswitches. Sustainable energy is the goal of many research institutes focused on finding other forms power that are more environmentally friendly. Such research…

Far from our solar system, phosphorus surrounding distant stars could be a telltale sign of worlds friendly to extraterrestrial life. Exoplanets orbiting stars rich in phosphorus may be more likely to develop life, a new study suggests. Image credit: The Cosmic Companion/Created in Universe Sandbox. Is phosphorus around exoplanets a…

Duality of roaming mechanism in H2COThe phenomenon of roaming in chemical reactions (that is, bypassing the minimum energy pathway from unlikely geometries) has attracted a great deal of attention in the chemical reaction dynamics community over the past decade and still demonstrates unexpected results. Using velocity-map imaging of state-selected H2…

Airbus has announced ambitious plans to develop the world’s first zero-emission commercial aircraft. Unveiling the designs of the three ZEROe concept planes, the European aerospace giant set a target date of 2035 for the hydrogen-fuelled carriers to take to the skies.The hi-tech trio of aircraft are all hydrogen-hybrids. “This means they…

Not if a suspicious short-seller has its wayONE WAY to try to emulate Tesla’s success is to name your firm after the same person. Nikola, founded in 2014 to make electric and hydrogen-powered lorries, is, like Elon Musk’s carmaker, named after Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-American pioneer of electricity. Nikola’s market…

The UK must seize the opportunity to create green jobs and boost the economy by becoming a “global leader” in the fight to tackle climate change, Confederation of British Industry (CBI) director-general Carolyn Fairbairn has urged.According to newly released data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), a total of 695,000…
