Linde will build two hydrogen stations for San Francisco Bay area transit buses thumbnail

Filed under: Hydrogen The Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District (AC Transit), which services the east San Francisco Bay area, is now operating a fleet of fuel cell buses and Linde North America is installing two new hydrogen fueling stations to fill them up. The hydrogen stations are being installed at AC Transit’s Emeryville and Oakland depots and will use Linde ’s Ionic compression technology. The ionic compressors are much more energy efficient than previous compression systems and can fill a bus with 30 kilograms of gaseous hydrogen in six minutes

Toyota aims for $50,000 production hydrogen sedan by 2015 thumbnail

Filed under: Hydrogen , Toyota , Green Daily Third-gen Toyota FCHV-adv - Click above for high-res image gallery Toyota is undoubtedly known more for its hybrid vehicles than its hydrogen-powered cars, but that could tilt just a little if the company can make good on claims of a production-ready hydrogen sedan for around $50,000. According to Toyota, this price is achievable because costs have dropped tremendously on its fuel-cell technology, about 90 percent in the last five years alone. Toyota even states that its hydrogen sedan, slated for debut in 2015, would be profitable at the price listed above, but we have our doubts about that

Filed under: Emerging Technologies , Hydrogen , Europe/EU , Middle East Just a few days ago, we told you about Germany’s commitment of $2 billion for the construction of at least 1,000 hydrogen refueling stations. A month ago, we learned about London’s decision to build a network of hydrogen filling stations in time for the 2012 Olympics. But, outside of California’s Hydrogen Highway , we don’t hear too much about the progress of hydrogen infrastructure and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles here in the U.S

It was being shown next to the comparable hardware from one of the Project Driveway fuel cell Chevy Equinoxes and the difference in size was startling. The stack is part of what GM refers to as the second-generation system which includes all the elements necessary to implement it in a vehicle
