22 Germany to get hydrogen fuel station network The development of a German network of hydrogen filling stations is gaining pace. The automotive manufacturer Daimler AG and the Linde technology group announced in Stuttgart that they intended to open 20 new filling stations in Germany over the next three years. This will more than triple the number of public hydrogen filling stations in the country. The new stations are to be set up in the regions of Stuttgart, Berlin and Hamburg, which are already supplied with hydrogen along the most popular North-South and East-West axis. For the first time, this would enable every location in Germany to be reached by a fuel-cell vehicle by the year 2015. EV quick-chargers in first phase of ‘Green Highway’ As part of the ‘Green Highway’ project where California, Oregon and Washington are partnering to turn Interstate 5 into the first alternative-fuel-friendly freeway in the U.S., AeroVironment is installing Level 3 EV quick chargers along the route in Southern Oregon. For this first phase of the project, from the California state line to the Willamette Valley, 150 miles of the highway will have convenient access to EV chargers that can fully charge a battery in 30 minutes. Eight interchanges will be picked based on common destinations, vehicle range and driving distances. The chargers will be installed by the end of the fall. The project is being funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. tOtaL hold solar exhibit at motorway sites To raise customer awareness of solar energy, the 126 TOTAL motorway stations in France have launched the 1.2.3. Soleil operation running to the 17 July. The exhibition is visible in all TOTAL motorway stations explaining solar power to young people and the stations’ customers. ALTERNATIVEFUeL News Ireland's first electric taxis take to the road One of Europe's first electric taxi services has been launched in Dublin, offering people a taste of how environmentally friendly electric Charging EVs as quick as pumping gas There might be a quicker and easier way to charge your EV, thanks to a team of researchers at MIT who created a liquid-flow battery for EVs that can be recharged in the same amount of time it takes to fill up a gas tank. The battery involves a black and gooey electrolyte which holds suspended positive and negative electrodes Gasoline from pine and corn waste Three global companies from the worlds of agriculture, petroleum and car manufacturing are lead investors in a company called Virent, which has developed a biogasoline that is practically the molecular equivalent of conventional gasoline. The milestone is significant because the feedstock consists of woody, non-food waste from pine and corn (aka corn stover), a vast improvement over corn, soybeans and other food crops. The partnership is also significant LatESt NEwS, aLtErNatIVE EVENtS, FUEL JObS NEwS ONLINE – www.PEtrOLPLaza.COM – www.PEtrOLPLaza.COM NEwS Shell and Cosan: a lower-carbon future with biofuels Shell and Cosan launched a multi-billion dollar joint venture that will become a leading producer of the low-carbon biofuel, ethanol made from sugar cane. Named Raízen, this major retail and commercial fuels company will operate transport can enhance city living. ESB ecars and Dublin-based NRC Taxis teamed up to offer the first electric taxi (e-taxi) service in Ireland. The new initiative was unveiled in Dublin City by ESB Chief Executive Padraig McManus and NRC Director Liam Brady today. Two e-taxis will now operate on Dublin's streets, including one wheelchair-accessible vehicle. This is one of the first “working” electric taxi schemes in Europe and is part of a wider EU research programme that includes gathering data on the performance of electric transport in an urban setting. that provide the EV with juice. When all the energy has been zapped out of the electrolyte, you can simply remove a container holding the goo from the battery and recharge it. Then you can put it back in the battery and you're ready to go. The team at MIT envisions this happening as quickly and easily as it takes to pump gas. because the three companies are Honda, Shell and Cargill and Virent is one of 17 members of the National Advanced Biofuels Consortium, which funded the biogasoline project through a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy. With global corporate support building for alternative fuels, it seems that the Obama administration is cultivating some powerful new allies to counteract pressure from the fossil fuel industry. in Brazil, one of the world's fastest-growing markets. Raízen will produce and sell over 2 billion litres a year of the lowest-carbon biofuel commercially available – ethanol made from Brazilian sugar cane. Raízen will distribute biofuels and over 20 billion litres of other industrial and transport fuels annually through a combined network of nearly 4 500 Shellbranded service stations. In Brazil it becomes the third largest fuels company. Plans would extend the company's reach in future years to export more ethanol to other key markets.
