Dr. Nguyen The Hung from the Institute of Physics under the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology has contributed to the efforts to realize the above objective by creating a type of power generator using natural light. In 2008, Dr. Nguyen The Hung and his colleagues began a research project aiming to manufacture a type of power generator system using solar energy according to the absorption diffusion principle (with natural light engine).

The European Hydrogen Association (EHA) and the European Regions and Municipalities Partnership for hydrogen and fuel cells (HyRaMP) have called for accelerated support from the EU, national and local governments to ensure a sustainable build-up of hydrogen infrastructure in Europe. Both organizations stress the need to integrate hydrogen infrastructure development into the EU’s current energy and transport infrastructure plans.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade has instructed the Vietnam National Coal and Mineral Industries Group (Vinacomin) to promote its activities that it has undertaken to ensure power plants have an adequate amount of coal to run their facilities. Vinacomin should set up a team to work with the steering committee on importing coal for the thermoelectric projects, draft plans for importing coal and should monitor transport networks, said Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Le Duong Quang.

Only to the visually-impaired it may look like fuel cells and electric cars don’t enjoy success nowadays. Daimler AG has just started a pilot program of leasing Mercedes-Benz hydrogen fuel cell cars to 5 to 15 users in the US, to see how their car acts in real life conditions and how people receive them. To me this looks like a postpone of the real thing, just like GM did to EV1.

Ngày 1/11/2010, một giảng viên ngành khoa học nông nghiệp tới từ ĐH trung Tennessee (MTSU) sẽ thực hiện hành trình dài hơn 500 dặm (khoảng 800km) bằng chiếc xe Toyota Tercel đời 1994 sử dụng động cơ chạy bằng khí hydro. Xe hơi chạy bằng khí hydro sản sinh từ năng lượng mặt trời là sản phẩm mới nhất trong lĩnh vực nghiên cứu năng lượng thay thế tại Mỹ.

There are more than two billion people worldwide with no access to drinking water. This is the reason why researchers over the globe are trying to find solutions such as desalination. This reverse osmosis of water is the most efficient and economical form of desalination but the problem is that it needs 3 kWh per cubic meter of water. Solar panels and wind turbines can be used to supply this power.

Dr. Nguyen The Hung from the Institute of Physics under the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology said that many other countries in the world have successfully converted photo energy into electrical and thermal energy.

Britain held its first free eco-car show last month on London's famous royal driveway, The Mall. The event was held as part of HRH Prince Charles's latest sustainability initiative “Start”, which aims to promote positive steps to leading a sustainable lifestyle, and was opened by his “Garden Party to Make a Difference”.

Mitsubishi Corp. will conduct a feasibility study to help address global warming by popularizing energy-saving Japanese home appliances in Vietnam, it has been learned. Working in cooperation with five electric appliance makers, including Panasonic Corp. and Sharp Corp., Mitsubishi will verify how much carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced through the end of March 2011.

The first success of engineer Phuong is replacing fluorite made in China by fluorite made in Vietnam in E7018 blend to produce E7018 F3,2 soldering stick, coating drug for pressed waste (J420 and J421) and replacing entire of imported burning ilmenite by domestic burning ilmenite to produce J420 soldering stick, ensuring the product quality and the initiative in materials for production.

According to a new study of food waste in the U.S., it takes the equivalent of 1.4 billion barrels of oil to produce get a year’s worth of food to the market, but about 350 million barrels of that goes down the drain in the form of wasted food. The study, reported by The American Chemical Society, is noteworthy not only for what it includes about food-related energy, but also for what it leaves out.

Về mặt lí thuyết, quá trình sản xuất khá đơn giản; sau khi tách 2 thành phần của hợp chất methan là hydrogen và cacbon, hydrogen sẽ được nén lại cho đến khi đạt 99,9% độ tinh khiết. Loại hydrogen này sẽ cung cấp năng lượng cho 2 ô tô và 2 xe buýt chạy bằng nhiên liệu hydrogen. Nhà máy cũng sẽ tạo ra khoảng 320KW điện để cung cấp điện và nước nóng đến Nanji Art Studio trên đảo Nanjido

It’s known from high school that aluminum can split water in hydrogen and oxygen, with aluminum hydroxide as byproduct. A team of Purdue University researchers has developed a mechanism that uses this reaction between aluminum, water and a liquid alloy to extract hydrogen directly from seawater and use it in boats and ships.

In honor of Blog Action Day on the topic of water, here is a bit of good news about a new low-cost, energy efficient method for purifying drinking water without the use of chlorine. Scientists at Stanford University have developed a new kind of water filter that uses a combination of silver, cotton, and electricity to kill up to 98 percent of E. coli bacteria in contaminated water. The system was recently described in the American Chemical Society journal.

With rapid industrialization, the world has seen the development of a number of items or units, which generate heat. Until now this heat has often been treated as a waste, making people wonder if this enormous heat being generated can be transformed into a source of electric power. Now, with the physicists at the University of Arizona finding new ways to harvest energy through heat, this dream is actually going to become a reality.

Trung tâm dự án nghiên cứu chế tạo xe hơi chạy bằng nước lã ở tỉnh Kanagawa, cách thủ đô Tokyo khoảng 50km. Chính phủ Nhật Bản và các công ty chế tạo xe hơi đã đầu tư 250 triệu USD cho dự án này. Trên thực tế, đây là loại ô tô chạy bằng điện. Dòng điện được tạo ra trực tiếp từ phản ứng hóa học giữa các nguyên tử khí hydro với khí oxy trong không khí để tạo thành nước. Trước đó, khí hydro đã được điều chế ở qui mô công nghiệp từ nước lã tại nhà máy.

SunHydro, a hydrogen refueling company is launching their first hydrogen station that will be open to the public. The refueling point will be made available starting Friday in Connecticut, USA, in an attempt of the firm to create a chain of hydrogen refueling stations from Maine to Florida.

The management of the exploration and exploitation of natural resources should be strengthened to preserve valuable assets for younger generations, according to attendants of a conference in Ha Noi last week. This idea was put forth by experts from several sectors to discuss the draft of the amended law on mineral resources exploitation.

Đây là một loại bột kim loại giống như cát, gọi là natri silicide, có thể sinh ra khí hydro ngay khi đổ nước vào. Loại bột này an toàn khi phản ứng và tạo ra khí hydro tại một áp suất thấp hơn khoảng một nửa so với hợp chất natri cacbonat thông thường. Khí hydro sinh ra sẽ dùng vào việc chạy các động cơ điện trong một hộp lắp vào xe đạp.

The cells that power the bicycle use sodium silicide, a powder similar to sand. In combination with water, the substance “instantly creates hydrogen gas”, that is further on used to generate energy. Moreover, excess electricity is stored in batteries that are safe and fully recyclable.
