Fuel cells

Hydrogen is no longer being pitched merely as a clean-energy alternative. At one of the world’s largest hydrogen industry gatherings this week in the Netherlands, Hyundai Motor Group argued that the fuel is emerging as a strategic answer to growing instability in global energy supply chains. The Korean automaker said Thursday it participated in the World Hydrogen Summit 2026, held from Monday to Thursday at the Rotterdam Ahoy Convention Centre in Rotterdam, where government officials and business leaders gathered to discuss the future of the hydrogen economy. Hyundai Motor Group hosted an exhibition booth centered on HTWO, the company’s hydrogen brand and business platform, displaying a mockup hydrogen fuel cell system and the all-new NEXO hydrogen-powered sport utility vehicle. The company said the next-generation NEXO is equipped with a 150-kilowatt motor capable of accelerating from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in 7.8 seconds. The vehicle can travel up to 720 kilometers on a

As ammonia gains attention as a next-generation energy source capable of overcoming the limits of hydrogen storage and transport, KAIST and a joint research team have developed fuel cell technology that directly uses ammonia as fuel while achieving world-class performance and stability. This achievement is regarded as a core technology that will accelerate the commercialization of the next-generation hydrogen economy and carbon-free power generation.

With a small blue crane, four researchers hoist a cylindrical fuel cell, which looks like a stack of flattened silver and gold soda cans bundled together, into the air and lower it into a rectangular cart on wheels. A tangle of tubes and wires spirals away from the system, where nearly 270 sensors and 1,000 components are nestled inside.

A computational method combining generative AI with atomistic simulations can identify promising platinum alloy catalyst structures for hydrogen fuel cells, report researchers from Science Tokyo. Their approach addresses a longstanding challenge in catalyst design and consistently produces high-performing candidates from several material combinations.
