Fuel Cells Dominate DoD Wearable Power Contest
A methanol-powered fuel-cell system bested its propane-powered rival because it was lighter by about the weight of half a candy bar. The objective was to produce a small, lightweight system that would clip to a soldier’s load-bearing vest and generate enough electricity to keep his battlefield electronics going for four days.

Honda: New US CAFE is a “Game Changer”
American Honda Motors (AHM) views the new CAFE regulations under development as a “game changer” both in terms of how fuel economy is determined and in likely responses by automakers. Honda supports the CAFE rules as “good energy policy”, said John German, AHM’s Manager, Environmental Policy Analysis, in a recent briefing.

Arizona Firms Tout Fuel-Cell Work
Solar power might be the alternative-energy star in Arizona, but some companies in the state could benefit if hydrogen fuel cells become more mainstream.

Fuel cells chemically generate electricity, often by mixing hydrogen and oxygen, and are increasingly used in everything from cars to backup power generation for buildings or communications networks.

Nanotechnology Research Could Reduce the Cost of Fuel Cells
Precious metal catalysts, which speed up chemical reactions, are good for the environment and industry—and they could enable huge improvements in our energy supply in the future—but they are rare and expensive. “Catalysis is a huge industry already and it’s going to become more important with all the new environmental and sustainable energy technologies,” she says. “So we’re trying to come up with better catalysts or at least find ways to use less of the rarer materials.”

Heliocentris Fuel Cells AG; Heliocentris Wins Electrolyser Order For Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bus Filling Terminus
Heliocentris Fuel Cells AG, the fuel cell system integrator, announced today that the City of Barth in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania has awarded Heliocentris a contract to deliver an electrolyser for the supply of hydrogen to the City's hybrid midi-bus and to optimize the City's wastewater treatment facility. This new contract follows Heliocentris' successful integration of a 32 kW fuel cell system for use in the Barth midi-bus, earlier this year.
