ChatGPT generated panoramic aerial of an abandoned hydrogen fueling station in Paris, its cracked pavement, overgrown weeds, and tilted sign marking the end of a failed vision
Hype, once celebrated as a poster child for hydrogen mobility in Europe, has abandoned hydrogen as its primary fuel source, and has pivoted to solely electric vehicles for taxis. This pivot should not surprise anyone who has been closely tracking the consistent and inevitable collapse of hydrogen-powered transportation ventures around … [continued]
ChatGPT generated panoramic image of an empty hydrogen fueling station in Austria with barriers indicating closure
Austria’s recent announcement that it would shutter its entire network of hydrogen fueling stations caught many industry observers off guard. But for those closely tracking the economics, Austria’s exit wasn’t surprising at all. The stations faced persistently low vehicle numbers, low throughput, and mounting operating losses. This stark withdrawal illustrates … [continued]
ChatGPT generated panoramic image of a bottomless hydrogen fuel cell pit with money being thrown into it by investors
How can a company never make a profit for over 50 years and still be around? How can it still find investors? FuelCell Energy is that company, and its continuing existence, like that of other perpetual money losing hydrogen fuel cell firms Ballard Power and Plug Power, is deeply perplexing. … [continued]
New cryo-compression technology gives heavy duty hydrogen vehicles a crack at the commercial transportation market, by increasing energy density and cutting costs.

ChatGPT generated panoramic image of a hydrogen bus with lots of representations of high CO2e emissions and a big warning sign about truth in advertising
In the middle of 2024, I documented the remarkable disappearance of claims of environmental virtue from the websites and social media of Canadian oil and gas companies and the lobbying groups they employed. Overnight, the degree of factual accuracy on their public sites went up by a remarkable amount. Why? … [continued]
ChatGPT generated panoramic image of a pair of scales labeled CUTA with a transit bus labeled "H2" on one scale and a transit bus covered in circuitry on the other.
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]
ChatGPT generated panoramic image of two professionals looking at a rusting hydrogen bus and scratching their heads
Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with Michael Raynor, formerly a managing director of sustainability and thought leadership for Deloitte and author of multiple books on innovation and strategy. We talked about not only an innovative approach to addressing Scope 3 emissions Raynor has developed, but also an … [continued]
