Did you know that we are approaching a worldwide shortage of metals to make batteries?

martes, 07 mayo 2019

Volkswagen-auto

According to controversial statements made recently by Sarah Maryssael, global manager of metals supply for batteries of Tesla, soon the industry could face a global shortage of key materials for the manufacture of batteries for electric cars, situation due to the little investment in mining, which does not correspond to the growing demand.

Thus, in the coming years there could be a shortage of nickel, copper and lithium in parallel with the increase in the sales figures of electric cars. This will result in an increase in the prices of minerals (remember that an electric car, for example, currently uses twice as much copper as a model with an internal combustion engine).

Did you know that Swedish researchers develop the fastest hydrogen sensor in the world?

sensor-de-hidrogeno

Hydrogen is a carrier of clean energy with multiple possible applications. However, this gas is highly flammable when mixed with air, so very efficient and fast sensors are needed to immediately detect a leak. Researchers from the Technological University of Chalmers (Sweden) have managed to develop a sensor that detects leaks in just one second, opening the way to the massive use of hydrogen-powered vehicles and other applications.

Did you know that they have created a new way to drive electric cars with hydrogen?

domingo, 31 marzo 2019

gas-de-hidrogeno

The professor of chemistry of the University of Massachusetts, Lowell David Ryan, has created a new way of driving electric vehicles by means of hydrogen that achieves that the autonomy of these is much greater, besides being a system that gains in security.

The idea is to create a more efficient way to make electric vehicles move, something for which Mr. Ryan uses water, carbon dioxide and metallic cobalt. Thanks to these three elements it manages to produce hydrogen gas on demand at a relatively low temperature and pressure.

Did you know that Air Liquide, Idex, STEP and Toyota create HysetCo to promote mobility based on hydrogen?

martes, 12 marzo 2019

hype-toyota-hidrogeno

Toyota joins Air Liquide, Idex and Société du Taxi Électrique Parisien (STEP) with the aim of achieving a clean mobility that allows to improve air quality.

Air Liquide, Idex, Société du Taxi Électrique Parisien (STEP) and Toyota have joined forces to promote the development of hydrogen-based mobility with a joint venture called HysetCo. It is the first in history dedicated to the development of mobility based on hydrogen in the Île-de-France region, in Paris.

This collaboration represents an unprecedented milestone in the promotion of a hydrogen-based society in France and in the development of Hype, the world’s first hydrogen-based, emission-free fleet. It is a project launched in 2015, during COP21 and that has fuel cell cabs in circulation in Paris and throughout the Île-de-France region.

HysetCo will facilitate the deployment of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and their charging infrastructure in the Île-de-France region to reach the goal of 600 taxis by the end of 2020. Toyota will supply another 500 Mirai before the end of 2020, to Complete the existing fleet of 100 Hype vehicles.

This joint venture covers two activities: the distribution of hydrogen and the development of applications related to mobility. Within that ecosystem, each collaborator contributes his own knowledge. The entity’s mission is to promote the transition of the sector towards the elimination of emissions, with the aim of having ‘Taxis / VTC without emissions for the Olympic Games of Paris 2024’.

Did you know that more flexible nanomaterials can boost fuel cells for cheaper hydrogen cars?

Nanomateriales-1

Transportation is one of the most important human needs. Nowadays, in our civilization it is so vital that we depend totally on it, both to move and to transport our resources, be it water, food, or any other basic need.

For this reason, it is logical to think that the automotive industry seeks to develop technologies that allow a better performance. It is expected that in the near future this economic sector will benefit enormously from nanotechnology and nanomaterials.

Global expectations of lower emissions and fuel savings are creating huge demands for lightweight, durable and low-cost materials to replace expensive metals and compounds, and nanotechnology can help meet those demands.

Scientists led by Johns Hopkins University have developed a new method to increase the reactivity of ultra-thin nanosheets, with only a few atoms of thickness, an advance that can make fuel cells for hydrogen cars cheaper in the future.

The research, published in the journal Science, promises faster and cheaper production of electric power using fuel cells, and also chemicals and bulk materials such as hydrogen.

The new method focuses on finding the right amount, to evaluate how much metal would be required for the fuel cell electrodes. The technique uses the forces on the surface of a metal to identify the ideal thickness of the electrode.

«Each material experiences a tension on the surface due to the breakdown of the crystalline symmetry of the material at the atomic level. We discovered a way to make these crystals ultrafine, thus decreasing the distance between the atoms and increasing the reactivity of the material, «says Chao Wang, assistant professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at Johns Hopkins University and one of the corresponding authors of the study.

Technologies of the future to reduce car pollution

The European Union has legislated that, by the year 2040, cars with a combustion engine (gasoline or diesel) can not be registered. These will have to be replaced by electric ones one hundred percent and those of a hydrogen fuel cell to reduce the pollution of cars. The highways will have loading poles, which will allow charging the batteries in less than 10 minutes and gasoline cars will be a thing of the past.

Auto Quantino. It works with salt water. The electric models that are approaching

This car works with salt water and reaches 200 km of autonomy. Its batteries promise ten thousand hours of operation and generate 108 horsepower capable of launching the vehicle up to 200 km / h. Electric vehicles present two major problems: their price and the autonomy of their batteries. That is why the hand company Flowcell of Liechtenstein presented in 2016 to Quantico, a prototype car that works with salt water thanks to its flow batteries.

autonomia-vehiculos-electricos

These are the 10 electric vehicles with greater autonomy

They are becoming more frequent on our roads, although there is still a very important group that does not fit the idea of buying an electric vehicle. There are some main drawbacks of this type of car, be it its high price, the absence of noise, the recharging network, the waiting time to replace the batteries and, especially, the autonomy.

Did you know that in 2030 hydrogen vehicles could be imposed on electric vehicles?

Dr. Felix Gress, Head of Corporate Communications and Public Affairs of the Continental firm, believes that electric vehicles will end up being discarded in favor of hydrogen vehicles in a few years.

Dual and sustainable energy systems: challenges and opportunities

The objective is to raise awareness of the energy challenges faced by the land, aerospace and naval industry, and how new technologies, based on hydrogen and fuel cells, can respond to these challenges within the framework of a sustainable development. Efforts in research and innovation, as well as in technological development, are still necessary for its introduction into the market in a competitive manner.

On March 19, the Ministry of Public Works launched a strategic plan to encourage that, in Spanish airspace, there may be vigilant drones, taxi drivers or delivery drivers starting in 2035. The first step that the Administration has taken to «boost development» of the sector and place it in a leading position «is the approval of Royal Decree 1036/2017 that increases the number and types of activities that can be carried out with drones and gives greater capacity to operations. According to the calculations of the Ministry itself, in 2035, this sector will have a fleet of 51,400 drones for professional use (there are currently 4,200 in Spain), create 11,000 jobs and move about 1,220 million euros a year in revenue.
