This report covers efforts by the Hawaii Natural Energy Institute of the University of Hawaii under the ONR-funded HEET Initiative that addresses critical technology needs for exploration/utilization of seabed methane hydrates and development/testing of advanced fuel cells and fuel cell systems. Methane hydrates work included: hydrate thermochemistry and kinetics; environmental impacts of methane release from seafloor hydrates; hydrate engineering applications; and international collaborative R&D. For fuel cells accomplishments included: test ...
The design of high-energy-content synthetic fuels is an area of significant interest to the U.S. Department of Defense. Toward this end, the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has initiated an RD&D project to investigate the addition of coated boron nanoparticles to liquid fuels for gas turbine combustion applications. The Hawaii Natural Energy Institute (HNEI) of the University of Hawaii is collaborating with NRL on this project. HNEI is focusing on the ...
