As CleanTechnica’s readers are probably well aware, Toyota treats hydrogen the same way my cats treat their catnip. It’s an obsession, and maybe an addiction. On the other hand, the Japanese government seems to be favoring the use of hydrogen vehicles, and that’s playing a factor. What I didn’t expect … [continued]
Fuel cells have long been hailed as a promising technology, but they face a major hurdle: the need for hydrogen, which is usually derived from oil and gas. Now a research team from the University of Virginia is trying to change that. The team will divide its research into two … [continued]
In the crazy world of hydrogen for transportation plays, some endeavors stand out. Ballard’s $1.3 billion in losses, $55 million a year since 2000, with no profits ever is one. The $1.2 billion that California received as a hydrogen hub which is going to go down the drain because it’s … [continued]
If all goes according to plan, by 2027 Ballard Power Systems will be operating its new fuel cell factory in Texas at the 3-gigawatts level.
Australia and the US are among those foreseeing that green hydrogen will kick fossil fuels out of the global hydrogen supply chain.
The US green hydrogen industry gets a leg up from rare bipartisan legislation aimed at cutting costs and increasing production.
52 Projects Across 24 States to Accelerate Breakthroughs in Clean Hydrogen Technology, Cutting Costs and Supporting DOE’s Hydrogen Hubs and Other Large-Scale Deployments WASHINGTON, D.C. — As part of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced $750 million for 52 projects across 24 states … [continued]
Recently the EU’s Joint Research Centre released an assessment of efforts related to hydrogen for transportation. In it, they make the remarkable statement that fuel cell vehicles can’t compete with battery-electric vehicles and then ask for more money to help fuel cell vehicles keep going. “Both FCEVs and FCEBs face … [continued]
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]
Toyota and Kohler have developed a new commercial scale fuel cell system aimed at pushing diesel generators out of the market for backup power while offering new grid services, too.
