Battery-powered cars may be on the cusp of the mainstream auto market, but scientists and car makers still have high hopes for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, which should refuel faster and travel longer distances between fill-ups. Hydrogen fuel cells have their own Achilles’ heel, however: They are easily poisoned by carbon monoxide (CO). Now, researchers report that they’ve created novel catalysts for fuel cell cars that strongly resist carbon monoxide contamination, potentially solving a problem that has vexed the industry for years.

Following a recent signing ceremony with Norwegian officials, it was made public, that a large demonstration project called H2MOVES on electric vehicles with fuel cells will take place in Scandinavia the coming years. The project will bring seventeen of the latest state‐ of‐the‐art electric vehicles with fuel cells from Daimler and FIAT to Oslo including the establishment of a large scale hydrogen refuelling station in the city by H2 Logic. This is to advance the commercialisation of hydrogen for transport in Scandinavia as well as connecting the region with the strong German initiatives within the area.
