UCI tests integration of renewable hydrogen into existing natural gas systems Brian Bell / UCI There are lots of different kinds of laboratories at the University of California, Irvine, but a unique one being used by Advanced Power & Energy Program researchers also happens to generate partly renewable electricity and heat for the campus. UCI’s power plant has been made available to APEP engineers so they can study the safety and effectiveness of power-to-gas, a process in which excess...

UCI invents way to turn sewage into hydrogen power. Janet Wilson, University Communications Imagine being able to get the equivalent of 70 miles per gallon in your car, keep your home cool and power your computer – all from sewage. Thanks to technology developed by UC Irvine’s National Fuel Cell Research Center and partners, that’s now possible. Ten years of hard work, led by center associate director Jack Brouwer, has paid off in a cutting-edge project at the Orange County Sanitation...

Scott Samuelsen is UC Irvine’s go-to guy on fuel cell and hydrogen technology. Jennifer Fitzenberger, University Communications Scott Samuelsen is UC Irvine’s go-to guy on fuel cell and hydrogen technology. Samuelsen led the development of UCI’s hydrogen fueling station, the most technologically advanced, publicly accessible station in the world. It was the first of its kind in Orange County, and it is a key component of the California Hydrogen Highway Network. The station can...
