The fuel cell can effectively use clean hydrogen fuel to produce electricity and heat.. The fuel cell has come along way to provide reliable clean electrical and heat power to industry, homes and vehicles.. https://solarthermalmagazine/2014/11/02/2013-fuel-cell-technology-market-lead-stationary-fuel-cells/ Using clean renewable energy sources to generate hydrogen is the ideal situation.. Perhaps in the future even the vehicles themselves can be plugged into a power source and form their own hydrogen from water stored on the vehicle.. Some research into a small, cost effective unit to generate hydrogen would be useful.. A vehicle would require a small onboard unit.. This documentary tells the story of hydrogen through a series of intriguing interviews from those working on cutting-edge hydrogen technologies. The program explains to viewers every step of the process, including how hydrogen is created, how it is transported and dispensed, and how it is used in fuel cell vehicles and other end uses... https://youtube/watch?v=76ujMtLr5Z8 Generating hydrogen cheaply by using common metals as the electrodes and low voltage!.. The electrolysis of water could satisfy many of our energy storage and fresh water generation needs... This technology development of using common metals in water electrolysis equipment is something to move on.. Hydrogen, and HHO gas burns cleanly.. Or can be fed to a fuel cell to release the energy for transportation and other energy needs.. sciencedaily/releases/2014/08/140822084034.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+sciencedaily%2Ftop_news%2Ftop_science+%28ScienceDaily%3A+Top+Science+News%29 Biopower is proving to be a profitable venture! Click on See More for more interesting links! In many instances biopower is adding an additional revenue stream to what was a waste product. In many cases these biopower schemes are far more cost competitive than electricity from the grid.. Generation efficiencies of $0.06/ KWh are being realized! renewableenergyworld/rea/news/article/2012/10/bio-power-shows-competitive-edge Renewable energy as a means of providing the country with a secure future! phys.org/news/2014-09-business-academics-world-china-boost.html The numbers are in and they stand up for themselves.. Record wind power generation in Europe lowering the cost of energy for its citizens and keeping revenue in local economies!.. Denmark generating over 33% of its power for the entire year from wind! Portugal, Spain and Ireland generating 18% or better of their energy for the entire year from wind! Germany the largest economy in Europe generated over 10% of its electricity for the year from wind! Why not here in North America? Uncooperative political leaders.. The fact that the Production Tax Credit (PTC) was let lapse demonstrates unreliable policy for fostering clean renewable energy projects. We need to fix this now, not later.... ecowatch/2014/01/16/wind-energy-records-europe/ NASA film free to watch, about their research into space based solar power... The technology was proved feasible! nss.org/settlement/ssp/sspnasavideo.htm Informative articles and video about space based solar power. nss.org/settlement/ssp/index.htm#sspvideos The deployment of clean renewable energy storage systems will require energy storage systems.. Liquid air should prove very useful in many regions.. This is a mature technology that scales well.. It is safe.. It can make use of low grade waste heat to generate more power thus increasing the overall efficiency of the entire energy generating system.. https://youtube/watch?v=Bj2jTm0PtWw Opening doors to clean energy Closing doors on pollution... Perhaps banks of supercapacitors could help smooth out the energy flows from renewable energy projects.. Another idea is the use of supercapacitors and an electric drive motor in automobiles.. The standard automobile generates much more electrical power then it consumes in operation.. This surplus energy could be stored in supercapcitor banks and released to get the car moving again from a stopped position.. Or boost when needed to pass on the highway.. esa.int/Our_Activities/Telecommunications_Integrated_Applications/Opening_doors_to_space Anaerobic digester technology implemented at a waste water treatment facility to provide heat, hydrogen for vehicles and electricity to run the facility. More intelligent ways of dealing with the waste products of society could very well be... the first low hanging fruit to provide significant input in our efforts for a society run completely on clean renewable energy. energy.gov/articles/fueling-next-generation-vehicle-technology This study demonstrates clean renewable energy technologies like wind, wave, solar and biofuels to be the economical choice for our electrical power needs... energy-daily/reports/Clean_energy_least_costly_to_power_Americas_electricity_needs_999.html
