Welcome to ENFUGEN portal ! ENFUGEN is an EC project aiming at increasing the collaboration among european researchers in the field of Fuel Cells and Hydrogen applications. ENFUGEN provides support and tools to favour the creation of R&D working groups and the development of project to be submitted to the EC for financing.The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE International) is known globally as a leading source for automotive technology. SAE has developed the Fuel Cell Technology Showcase as a resource for the latest books, standards, articles, events and more with relation to fuel cell energy and fuel cell vehicles.

December 11th, 2006 by ctorrisiResearchers in Canada have developed a new solid material that can store and release hydrogen near room temperature without involving a transition metal. The discovery could lead to the development of low-cost and lightweight materials for the onboard storage of hydrogen fuel in cars (Science 314 1124).
Hydrogen is often touted as an environmentally-friendly fuel for road vehicles of the future. When consumed in a fuel-cell powered electric car, it produces nothing more than pure water as a by-product. However, many technological challenges remain before it can be used commercially. In particular, hydrogen has a low energy density compared to conventional fuels and therefore it must be stored as a liquid or an extremely high-pressure gas to ensure that reasonable distances can be travelled before refuelling.
