Fuel cell membrane patented by Sandia outperforms market
September 7, 2016 – 5:00 am
‘Goldilocks’ membrane is just about right ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Fuel cells provide power without pollutants. But, as in the Goldilocks story, membranes in automobile fuel cells work at temperatures either too hot or too cold to be maximally effective. A polyphenyline membrane patented by Sandia National Laboratories, though, seems to work just about right, says […]
Sandia finds shared opportunities for natural gas and hydrogen fuel cell vehicle markets
March 10, 2015 – 5:00 am
LIVERMORE, Calif.—Fueling stations that offer both hydrogen and natural gas could benefit distributors of both fuel types, says a new Sandia National Laboratories report, “Transitioning the Transportation Sector: Exploring the Intersection of Hydrogen Fuel Cell and Natural Gas Vehicles.” The report, from a workshop last fall supported by the Department of Energy’s Vehicle Technologies and […]
Linde, Sandia partnership looks to expand hydrogen fueling network
December 17, 2014 – 5:00 am
LIVERMORE, CALIF. — Sandia National Laboratories and industrial gas giant Linde LLC have signed an umbrella Cooperative Research & Development Agreement (CRADA) that is expected to accelerate the development of low-carbon energy and industrial technologies, beginning with hydrogen and fuel cells. The CRADA will kick off with two new research and development projects to accelerate […]
Storing hydrogen underground could boost transportation, energy security
December 9, 2014 – 5:00 am
LIVERMORE, Calif. — Large-scale storage of low-pressure, gaseous hydrogen in salt caverns and other underground sites for transportation fuel and grid-scale energy applications offers several advantages over above-ground storage, says a recent Sandia National Laboratories study sponsored by the Department of Energy’s Fuel Cell Technologies Office. Geologic storage of hydrogen gas could make it possible […]
More California gas stations can provide H2 than previously thought, Sandia study says
July 8, 2014 – 5:00 am
LIVERMORE, Calif. — A study by researchers at Sandia National Laboratories concludes that a number of existing gas stations in California can safely store and dispense hydrogen, suggesting a broader network of hydrogen fueling stations may be within reach. The report examined 70 commercial gasoline stations in the state of California and sought to determine […]
Portable hydrogen fuel cell unit to provide green, sustainable power to Honolulu port
February 25, 2014 – 5:00 am
Deployment project builds on earlier study’s optimistic results LIVERMORE, Calif.— Clean hydrogen power that’s expected to lower emissions and reduce energy consumption will be coming to the Port of Honolulu in 2015 after the completion of a new fuel cell technology demonstration, one that could lead to a commercial technology for ports worldwide. The work […]
Key hydrogen report now available on OpenEnergyInfo wiki site
May 28, 2013 – 1:00 pm
LIVERMORE, Calif.— As part of the Open Government initiative launched by the Obama administration, Sandia National Laboratories’ Technical Reference on Hydrogen Compatibility of Materials has made its debut on the Energy Dataset of OpenEnergyInfo, or OpenEI. Many in the industry working to increase the competitiveness of clean hydrogen-powered fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) already consult […]
