Baytubes ® multi-wall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) from Bayer MaterialScience are to be used in an innovative safety technology that significantly reduces the risk of explosions in fuel tanks. Bayer MaterialScience AG and Hirtenberger PROSAFE Safety Technology GmbH (HPST), Hirtenberg, Austria, have concluded an exclusive worldwide cooperation and supply contract for Baytubes® carbon nanotubes. HPST is to use the Bayer MaterialScience product in the manufacture of newly developed spheres designed to prevent the formation of explosive gas mixtures in fuel tanks. The spheres are soon to be introduced onto the global market under the name SAFEBALL. They offer considerable advantages over the extruded metal mesh or plastic foams used for this purpose to date.

Ron Campbell was dumbfounded in January 2008 when news broke that seven students and a teacher had died in a 15-seat van while driving home from a high school basketball game in New Brunswick.
The tragedy shocked many, but for Campbell it hit particularly close.
He and other volunteers -- all experts in school bus transportation -- had for several years been working with the Canadian Standards Association, writing the country's first national standard for a safe, extracurricular school vehicle, designed to replace 15-seat vans. |

SRI International, an independent
nonprofit research and development organization, announced today it will
present new research identifying methods for designing safer structures in the
future for hydrogen fueled vehicles, at the upcoming International Conference
on Hydrogen Safety, Sept. 16 - 18, in Ajaccio-Corsica, France. The paper,
titled Experimental Study of Hydrogen Release Accidents in a Vehicle Garage,
was authored by SRI researchers, with funding from the New Energy and
Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) through the Institute of
Applied Energy (IAE), both based in Japan. SRI conducted experiments to
determine the risks associated with accidental hydrogen releases and
subsequent combustion in a structure built to simulate a one-car garage. SRI's
research highlights important insights that will help consumers use hydrogen
safely on a daily basis.
