Researchers at the University of Nottingham look to advance the design of hydrogen-powered vehicles, to help in logistics for food industry.
According to the article posted in :indiaeducationdiary, the recent research by the University of Nottingham is set to help shape the design of hydrogen-powered refrigerated vehicles as part of a £1million project.
The key elements of the study according to the article is,
- Research Goal – Develop dual-use energy storage technology for hydrogen-powered food transport.
- Collaboration – Working with key players in the UK food transport industry.
- Benefits – Reduced emissions, lower fuel costs, improved food freshness and eco-friendliness.
Several universities are also conducting research projects focused on hydrogen-powered vehicles. Here are some notable examples:
- University of Houston: Researchers at the University of Houston have explored the economic viability of hydrogen as a competitive fuel alternative to gasoline and diesel. Their white paper discusses the potential for hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions significantly. The study analyzes various hydrogen generation methods and their cost-effectiveness, highlighting Houston’s infrastructure advantages for hydrogen production .
- Silesian University of Technology: This university has conducted research on hydrogen-powered vehicles within urban transport systems. Their work includes case studies and development possibilities for integrating hydrogen vehicles into existing urban transport frameworks, focusing on sustainability and efficiency.
- Tsinghua University: Researchers at Tsinghua University are working on improving the performance and durability of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) for hydrogen-powered vehicles. They focus on developing advanced materials and catalysts for PEMFCs.
- University of Sheffield: The Energy Institute at the University of Sheffield is involved in multiple hydrogen research projects, including the development of catalysts for zero-emission fuel cell technology and the establishment of the Translational Energy Research Centre, which supports hydrogen and low-carbon technology development
