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]
Everybody is suddenly talking about liquid green hydrogen, not just any old hydrogen, and that could help explain a potential pause in approvals for new LNG terminals in the US.
In the annals of zero emission vehicle startups there are innumerable failures. The Canadian/UK firm First Hydrogen is inevitably going to be one of them. I write this article not to hasten their demise, but to ask a set of questions about how this type of thing gets funded, gets … [continued]
Amazon and Walmart have caught the hydrogen-powered electric forklift bug, and now they are moving on up to fuel cell trucks.
Five leading freight haulers are eager to test the new long haul, heavy duty GenH2 hydrogen fuel cell truck from Daimler Truck.
GM is pouring 50 years of R&D into a new hydrogen fuel cell truck venture with the leading vocational truck maker Komatsu.
Ford is dipping into the European market for heavy duty fuel cell trucks through its holdings in the Turkish firm Ford Otosan.
In the past week I’ve been involved in an odd conflict with researchers at the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT). I’ve been trying to explain to them why their costing of electricity for hydrogen manufacturing makes absolutely no sense, and I haven’t been able to get through to them. … [continued]
Recently the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) published a total cost of ownership report on trucking decarbonization which found that energy costs for battery electric trucks and green hydrogen fuel cell trucks would have almost identical energy costs per mile in 2050. Clearly there was a methodological issue, as … [continued]
The new $7 billion Hydrogen Hubs program will bring more green hydrogen to fuel cell truck makers, helping to free long haul truckers from the shackles of diesel and natural gas, too.
