EnerAge has plans for a hydrocarbon fuel cell to power e.g. your notebook.






Enerage plans a highly flexibel fuel cell to be released in early 2007.
It would have a high range of usabilities e.g. also powering notebooks.

Read more on C|Net News.com.
Read more on Engadget.

Is this really the future? It's working on old fuel products.
It's also a problem for the environment e.g. with the production of CO2.

Could such fuel cells be build based on H2?
Please give your feedback in the comments...

H2PIA

I just discovered this interesting project.

It's a plan to build a city in Danmark that is provided from energy by Hydrogen. Hydrogen will be created by surplus production of Wind & Solar Energy.

There sure are a lot of problems that have to be dealed with. One of the things I directly thought about. How will those hydrogen cars make long trips? Will the habitants have to change their cars for traditional ones to make those trips, etc.

Still it stays in innovative project. As I can read from the website, there are only plans at the moments and no concrete actions planned for the short term to realise this... Maybe one of the problems is how to finance such a project...

I wished that such kind of projects were also possible here in Flanders, as I am sure that such kind of projects deliver lots of practical knowledge about future technology. It certainly will give those danish companies an advantage of the rest of the world... An advantage that will become a great economical asset.

Google and Energy Savings

Another passion of me is Google.

Google has developped energy saving technology for the masses of servers in its datacenters. Google is now offering this technology to server & pc builders.

You find more here on this story.


(Of course energy savings will also be an important topic in this blog.)

Another blog on energy...

I just came by this blogs: Alternative Energy Blog and a list of interesting energy blogs. (Maybe this blog will once be added too ;-) ). I'll keep an eye on it and if interesting, I'll post the information overhere too.

Do you know other interesting information sources? Please let them know to the world in the comments section of this blog!

Welcome!

Welcome, to my new blog!

I wanted to call this blog: 'Future of Energy'. But it seems somebody has already taken this blog name, although it's not very active for the moment. If you are the owner of this blog, please feel free to leave a comment with your contact information. Maybe we can co-operate on some stuff.

As the initial blog name was already taken, I had to think of an other name and so I came up with the name Energy2Come. In fact it means the same of 'Future of Energy', but maybe the name looks a bit more flashy now.

Why did I create this new blog?

It's already a long time that I'm interested in all kinds of Energy Technology. To make it clear, I'm not at all an technology expert, I'm just enormously interested in this technology and I want to learn a lot about this. This is one of the main reasons of this blog. The blog is aimed to be an interactive forum, not a place to publish my expertise, so please give me feedback in the comments section. Any good comments will be picked up again in the blog too!

The blog is written in English because I want to reach a public as broad as possible. If I would write in my native tongue (Dutch) the audience would be a lot smaller. And as most Flemish people speak also a little bit of English, I suppose this can't be a problem.

As written in the description of this blog, this blog will cover global topics with snippets of information I view on the web and in literature, but it will also cover the energy topic in the region of Brugge (Belgium). This is the city where I live and where a lot of possibilities are available concerning future Energy Technology. This can be read in the report 'Brugge 2015-2025: Een toekomstvisie!' by Junior Chamber International Brugge (JCI). It's written in Dutch.

The energy provisioning will be more and more difficult in the future, I don't need to tell this I think. But this problem gives also a lot of opportunities for new companies and for new technologies. That is what thrills me so much, this is why I want to build this blog...

Do you have any feedback? Please write a comment to let me now! Thanks a lot!
