Goal – the paper aims to identify main areas and motives for Japan–EU cooperation in development of a hydrogen-based economy. Research methodology text analysis governmental documents, institutional reports, companies’ websites, articles specialized press. Score/results example several Japanese companies shows that has been intensifying, mostly mobility Europe, natural gas transformation supply...

This paper investigates some of the man~estations and major forces driving the emergence of the new economy. A model of the virtual enterprise is proposed and investigated in the context of a virtual industry value chain. The transition to the virtual economy is definitely technology driven but is also shaped by social, economic, institutional forces. As such, it raises a number of significant ...

We introduce a paradigm-"hydricity"-that involves the coproduction of hydrogen and electricity from solar thermal energy and their judicious use to enable a sustainable economy. We identify and implement synergistic integrations while improving each of the two individual processes. When the proposed integrated process is operated in a standalone, solely power production mode, the resulting sola...

Designing and making cars differently ± emphasizing ultralight weight, ultralow drag, and integrated design ± can reduce required propulsive power by about two-thirds. This can make direct-hydrogen fuel cells and commercially available compressed-hydrogen-gas tanks practical and affordable even at relatively high early prices. Coordinating such vehicles with deployment of fuel cells in building...

Carboxydothermus hydrogenoformans is a thermophilic strictly anaerobic bacterium that catalyses the water gas shift reaction, the conversion of carbon monoxide with water to molecular hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The thermodynamically favorable growth temperature, compared to existing industrial catalytic processes, makes this organism an interesting alternative for production of cheap hydrogen...

We are investigating two processes as potential sources of hydrogen for the “hydrogen economy”. One of these hydrogen production processes is water electrolysis at high temperatures using heat from a nuclear reactor, known as high temperature steam electrolysis (HTSE). The feasibility of this process is currently being demonstrated at Idaho National Laboratory using solid oxide fuel cell design...
