Canada has a long history of hydrogen and fuel cell demonstrations. In 1993, the world s first fuel cell bus was displayed and in 1996, a second generation bus was demonstrated. With the success of these first fuel cell buses, a bus fleet demonstration was launched in 1997 which integrated numerous HFC technologies and illustrated that fuel cells and ancillary components could function as a whole system. Highlights include ... 

Hoffmann, Peter. Tomorrow s Energy Hydrogen, Fuel Cells, and the Prospects for a Cleaner Planet. Cambridge, Mass. MIT Press, 2002. This book describes the history of hydrogen-powered projects and discusses the safety, economics, and research of today, including fuel cell vehicles.

In spite of the emergency of the transition required to a carbon-free energy system, learnings from the past history of hydrogen and nuclear energy give several reasons to be optimistic ... 

These bodies are not only unknown, but the whole history of hydrogen might be investigated and not a single instance be found to favour the opinion that it has any affinity for itself when in union with another element. 

The history of hydrogen activation using a heterogenous catalyst (solid) dates back as early as 1823 when Dobereiner noted that hydrogen inflames spontaneously upon contact with finely divided platinum. Some 50 yr later chemists began to experiment with nickel, copper, iron, palladium, and other metals for... 

In the history of hydrogen, the contributions made by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) to develop compact, lightweight engines and energy storage devices for space applications have been important.

The history of hydrogen storage is instructive, and a brief discussion is useful. First, physisorption ideas will be discussed. Then, what began as the absorption of hydrogen molecules into bulk materials underwent evolution into molecular...
