Clean hydrogen to rival the LNG industry

Hydrogen has huge potential as a fuel. It can be easily transported and stored in the form of ammonia. But, until now, the challenge has been - how can we extract pure hydrogen at the point of need, for example, at a fuelling station?

CSIRO's new hydrogen membrane technology has solved this problem. They have created a metal membrane that filters out pure hydrogen gas from ammonia. It can then be dispensed into fuel cell cars, buses and even trucks.

Hydrogen could now rival the LNG industry. https://blog.csiro.au/hyper-for-hydrogen-our-world-first-carbon-free-fuel/

Earth's Electric Whispers

Soil-based microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are not widely used, but show some promise as clean-energy options for low-energy sensors used in precision agriculture (soil moisture and health), infrastructure monitoring (water pipes leakages) or environmental monitoring (concentration of pollutants). This latest evolution of an MFC uses a non-traditional design & readily available components to deliver a performance improvement of over 120%. Importantly, the fuel-cell was able to generate 68 times more energy than needed by the sensors - so plenty to spare for more sensors! https://scitechdaily.com/scientists-develop-new-dirt-powered-fuel-cell-that-runs-forever/
