Wait, What? Two New Hydrogen Motorcycle Projects Keep The Hopium Coming
In today’s news that makes you go hmmm.… A couple of recent news items from some well-known organizations caught my eye, not just because they are both working on hydrogen fuel cell motorcycle projects, but also because the names of both institutions have a certain cachet in the tech world … [continued]
NREL’s Cost Study On Hydrogen For Heavy Vehicles Fuel Does Not Withstand Scrutiny
What is it about hydrogen for trucking that leads researchers to deeply low-ball costs at every opportunity? I’ve tried to answer this question several times. In Germany, gruppendenken — groupthink — is clearly involved. With organizations like the ICCT, it appears a desperate attempt to make hydrogen work because they … [continued]
German Energy Agency Dena Is Just As Subject To Hydrogen Gruppendenken As JRC & PIK
In recent months it’s become clear that there’s a distinctly non-cottage industry in Germany producing unintentionally and intentionally misleading reports about hydrogen for energy. Today yet another significant and respected organization crossed my screen, dena, or the German Energy Agency. (Lower-case is their branding and it’s an acronym of a … [continued]
EU JRC Puts Heavy Thumbs On Scale So Delivered Green Hydrogen From Africa Will Be…
Another day, another review of a major hydrogen for energy report which doesn’t stand up to the slightest scrutiny. Unfortunately, this one is from the EU’s Joint Research Centre (JRC), its science and knowledge service which employs scientists to carry out research in order to provide independent scientific advice and … [continued]
Another European Energy Study Assumes Unrealistically Cheap Hydrogen & Finds Significant Demand
In recent months I’ve apparently taken on a sideline of assessing major total cost of ownership studies from reputable organizations, specifically looking at their usually weird assumptions around hydrogen. Now it’s the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research‘s turn, although it’s not a TCO study in this case. They’ve released … [continued]
The Life Story Of A Committed Hydrogen-For-Energy Worker Unfolds
It’s trivially easy to be snared by hydrogen for energy. Then it’s easy to start solving the problems of hydrogen for energy. Then it’s easy to wave away a problem set of hydrogen for energy as not your concern. And then solve more of the problems for energy. And wave … [continued]
The Devolution Of Hydrogen For Energy Over 25 Years Is A Fascinating Tale
About 25 years ago, hydrogen was the solution of choice for climate-aware technocrats and politicians, and with good reason. At the time, there really wasn’t much choice in terms of low-carbon energy carriers. Batteries were good enough for laptops and phones, but clearly no one was going to be running … [continued]
Hydrogen Electric Aircraft Scheme Hatched By EU Nations
Plans for hydrogen infrastructure are being hatched at European airports to support fuel cell electric aircraft.
California’s Hydrogen Stations Being Fixed More Hours Than Pumping At 30% Capex Per Year
Recently I’ve been reviewing studies related to hydrogen trucking, as it’s one of the few places where serious transportation research organizations still hold out hope for the energy carrier. I’ve looked at studies from multiple countries in Europe and North America back as far as 2010 now. Most recently I’ve … [continued]
