Later this year, hytech will introduce its second product line: pure
hydrogen
retrofits for ice vehicles. Put more simply, it will take any engine that runs on diesel, gasoline, propane, or cng and switch it over to run on 100 percent hydrogen.
(the company is currently in the process of getting its retrofit product certified by the california air resources board as zero-emissions. ) this would allow any driver to get a zero-emissions vehicle for substantially less than the cost of buying a new electric or hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. Johnson acknowledges that, if he were designing a vehicle from scratch, he would design it around a hydrogen fuel cell with no combustion, but “we have no interest in becoming a car company,” he says.
The aerospace industry is among the largest contributors to global greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions. On the contrary, hydrogen-powered aircraft do not produce co2 emissions as water is the only byproduct.
Due to increasing restrictions and climate change policies, the aerospace industry is transitioning to hydrogen fuel enabled by startups developing high-pressure compressed hydrogen fuel cells. Us-based startup universal hydrogen produces flexible, scalable, and modular hydrogen fuel capsules for aircraft. The loading of modules directly into aircraft is achievable using existing cargo handling equipment with empty capsules returned via reverse logistics for refueling. The lightweight fuel cells enable aircraft operators to decarbonize their operations with minimal changes to existing infrastructure.
A proton exchange membrane (pem) fuel cell is a simple solid-state generator. Inside the cell, there are two plates separated by a permeable membrane. The plates are grooved to facilitate gas flow and coated with a conductive metal. The system routes compressed hydrogen on one side of the membrane, and compressed atmospheric air on the other. The membrane allows the hydrogen atoms to cross over, but strips the electrons from the hydrogen atoms as they pass. The electrons travel through the conductors to the other side of the cell, creating electrical current. Once across the membrane, the hydrogen atom bonds with the oxygen in the atmospheric air to create water, and the atom regains an electron.
