An alarming new report tracks a sudden drop in fuel cell electric vehicle registrations in Europe last year, but 2024 looks a little brighter.
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]
Plans for hydrogen infrastructure are being hatched at European airports to support fuel cell electric aircraft.
Study Finds Offshore Energy Could Help the World Reach Critical Carbon Removal Goals (And a Bubbly, Soda-Like Method Might Be Our Best Bet) The Caribbean has a problem, and it stinks. Atop the Caribbean Sea’s famously pristine waters floats a 5,000-mile-wide heap of rust-colored, brambly seaweed. When that seaweed, a form … [continued]
Green hydrogen is absolutely essential for decarbonizing the massive global warming problem that is current hydrogen use. Our current 120 million tons is a global warming problem on the scale of all of aviation. You would think that fixing that would be the highest priority, and that deeply irrational alternatives … [continued]
Many power-to-x firms and energy exporting companies are looking at Japan especially, but also other hydrocarbon light countries as a great market to send ammonia to as an energy carrier. That’s not going to end well. Why not? Let’s start with ammonia itself. It’s hydrogen and nitrogen. The nitrogen doesn’t … [continued]
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]
Renault is banking on hydrogen electric fuel cell vans to grab a foothold in Europe, where interest in fuel cell mobility is picking up.
One of the interesting things I’ve been doing is participating in a review group for a European study on heavy vehicle decarbonization comparisons and simulations. That means, among other things, that I’m poking at the assumptions being used. As the paper is in review and assumptions are being tested and … [continued]
