Hydrogen milestone could help lower fossil fuel refining costs

Hydrogen researchers at the US Department of Energy’s Idaho National Laboratory have reached another milestone on the road to reducing carbon emissions and protecting the nation against the effects of peaking world oil production. Stephen Herring, laboratory fellow and technical director of the INL High Temperature Electrolysis team, today announced that the latest fuel cell modification has set a new mark in endurance. The group’s Integrated Laboratory Scale experiment has now operated continuously for 2583 hours at higher efficiencies than previously attained
