Here's what our readers and staff are buzzing about from around the world this week: | Until very recently, fuel cells were considered largely a non-grid technology. But, technological improvements in the areas of reliability, efficiency, and the ability to use multiple fuel sources have started to change that perception.
Danbury, Connecticut-based FuelCell Energy‘s (FCE) role in the fuel cell industry dates back to the 1970s, when the company began performing extensive research and development into fuel cell technology for military applications. Since then, FCE has commercialized its patented Direct Fuel Cell (DFC) technology, and generated over 900 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity at over 50 installations worldwide.
| Thanks to a program sponsored by Kansas City based nonprofit Minddrive, Project Reynard is ready for its epic cross-country test run. But they need a bit of help.
As reported here in September, Minddrive offers at-risk teens from six Kansas City area schools the hands-on opportunity to design, plan and build a working electric car. The project also offers less mechanically inclined kids the chance to work on the car’s PR, press and social media efforts.
| Here it comes! The Tesla Model S blitz is beginning. Palo Alto-based Tesla Motors recently began showing off the technology behind its new Model S sedan in its North American stores, which is sure to be one of the first salvos in the company’s marketing push behind the $58,000 base-model car.
Tesla says that the Model S is the the world’s first sedan built from the ground up as an electric vehicle and the new tour aims to show off the innovations they say make the luxury sedan such a game changer.
| For decades, the aviation industry has been notorious for its fossil fuel consumption. But it looks like Boeing might be trying to change that. The company, along with South Carolina Electric & Gas ( SCE&G), recently announced the completion of a photovoltaic ( PV) system on the roof of the Boeing South Carolina 787 Final Assembly building in North Charleston, S.C. The 2.6-megawatt (MW) PV system consists of more than 18,000 thin-film PV laminate modules covering 10 acres of the factory’s rooftop, making it the largest rooftop PV installation in the Southeastern U.S.
