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?

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.
