Canadian Transit Think Tank CUTRIC Riddled With Conflicts Of Interest
Four weeks ago, I didn’t know the Canadian Urban Transit Research and Innovation Consortium existed. If I’d seen mention of it, I probably would have assumed it as an innocuous little organization full of pleasant Canadians working diligently for the good of Canadian transit. But the onion keeps being peeled. … [continued]
Agenda Of Canadian CUTA Transit Conference Shows They Have Hydrogen On Brain Too
Globally, there are almost 700,000 battery electric buses in operation and perhaps 6,000 hydrogen buses. In Europe in 2023, about 6,400 new battery electric buses were registered vs. about 140 hydrogen buses. As I noted recently, there have are more hydrogen bus trials that have been abandoned than operational hydrogen … [continued]
Green Hydrogen & Long Duration Energy Storage Makeover Planned For Colossal Superfund Site
The massive Chevron Questa molybdenum mine in New Mexico was an environmental disaster of epic proportions until it closed in 2014, and now an intricate, decades-long remediation effort is under way. In the latest development, plans are in the works to produce green hydrogen at the site, with the ultimate … [continued]
Fuel Cell Electric Aircraft Help To Drive The Green Hydrogen Market
Leading global aviation stakeholders are pursuing green hydrogen and fuel cells to decarbonize air travel and shipping, in the EU and elsewhere.
US Air Force Pursues Green Hydrogen Via Geothermal Energy
The US Department of Defense is pursuing next-generation geothermal energy systems that can produce zero emission electricity and green hydrogen, too.
Canadian Transit Think Tank CUTRIC Chooses Inaccuracy, Irrelevancy, & Attack
Over the past three weeks, I’ve been assessing various aspects of the Canadian Urban Transit Research and Innovation Consortium’s (CUTRIC) positions, research, and publications on transit bus decarbonization. I’ve published ten articles directly about CUTRIC’s material and reports, or closely related and with serious implications for their claims that both … [continued]
Hydrogen Fuel Cell Aircraft Attracts US Army, Navy, & Air Force, Too
The US military is supporting new drop-in hydrogen fuel propulsion systems for quiet-running zero emission aircraft and stationary energy generation.
Another Day, Another Hydrogen Transportation Failure, This Time Quantron & IKEA
A year ago, while assessing various organizations that had reached the terminus of the Odyssey of the Hydrogen Fleet six act tragicomedy, I pointed out the awful, horrible, very bad, no-good decision the Austrian branch of IKEA had made to buy Quantron hydrogen step van delivery trucks. Since then, I’ve … [continued]
Enbridge Renewable Natural Gas A 1% Greenwashing Rounding Error
One of the amusing side notes of my recent foray into the challenges that the Canadian Urban Transit Research and Innovation Consortium (CUTRIC) is having was the tone deaf and counterproductive social media responses of their board member from Enbridge, the biggest natural gas firm in North America. When that … [continued]
