Honda Insight Mild Hybrid Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) sandwiched between 1.0 liter Engine and Manual Transaxle provides regenerative braking and idle-stop
Student Competitions COE's Future Energy Challenge Team took first place in the Hydrogen Vehicle Category with its Corbin Sparrow, a fuel cell-powered, three-wheeled electric vehicle renamed the Zero Carbon Car. The commuter produces no associated carbon dioxide emissions. The Tour de Sol also awarded UW its coveted "Technology Innovation" award for demonstrating the ultimate goal of the Tour de Sol. At each stopover, the team generated hydrogen from wind and solar which it stored on board in hydrides. The hydrides were later used to fuel the hydrogen fuel cell propulsion system. Students modified the vehicle as part of the Future Energy Challenge. Their system used on-board (stationary) charging resources including at folded 250-watt solar panel, a folded 400-wind generator/tower, and a 1.2-kW Ballard Nexa fuel cell.
Global Biomass Initiatives Production of hydrogen by co-reforming biomass pyrolysis liquids and natural gas R.French*, C. Feik, S. Czernik, E.

Technoeconomic analysis of options for producing hydrogen from biomass P.L. Spath*, J.M. Lane, M.K. Mann National Renewable Energy Laboratory, 1617 Cole Blvd., Golden, Colorado, USA 80401 Fax: 303-275-2905; Pamela_Spath@nrel.gov “This study demonstrates that hydrogen can be produced economically from biomass. The pyrolysisbased technology, in particular, because it has coproduct opportunities, has the most favorable economics. However, the gasification processes also produce hydrogen for less than many other renewable technologies. An added benefit of biomass as a renewable feedstock is that it is not intermittent, but can be used to produce hydrogen when needed. Uncertainties exist, however, and must be addressed through increased research and validation projects. With scientific and engineering advancements, biomass can be viewed as a key economically viable component to a renewables-based hydrogen economy.” OV

Algal Biomass Fuels Biofixation of CO2 by microalgae represents an advanced, climate friendly biological process that enables the direct utilization of fossil CO2 streams produced from concentrated sources, such as power plants. Mitigation of GHG emissions would result from the conversion of the algal biomass to renewable biofuels (methane, ethanol, biodiesel and hydrogen) and fossil fuel-sparing products (fertilizers, biopolymers and lubricants).
