ONS 2006 Hydrogen cars - Stavanger Travel |
||
30 August 2006 |
||
![]() Statoil are also sponsoring hydrogen-powered concept cars, including FYK, made in Norway by Aetek AS. These are driven by a pre-mixed blend of hydrogen gas and natural gas, called Naturalhy. The blend can vary, but Statoil is using a blend with 8% hydrogen - and is also available at Forus, since 23 August 2006. Statkraft are involved in hydrogen production and storage systems, and will open HYTREC, a new research and demonstration centre in Trondheim in 2007, along with Statoil and Den Norske Veritas. Statkraft explained some of the issues of safety and storage volume associated with hydrogen - gas form is less dangerous but very bulky; liquid form is much more compact, but needs to be kept cold. Although there will be several "hydrogen-powered" cars of various types in Norway from now on, it will be a long time - possibly 10 to 15 years - before any of us is seriously considering buying a hydrogen car. |
