US Green Hydrogen Industry Kicks Into High Gear, Politics Or Not
The US green hydrogen industry gets a leg up from rare bipartisan legislation aimed at cutting costs and increasing production.

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]
In recent months it’s become clear that there’s a distinctly non-cottage industry in Germany producing unintentionally and intentionally misleading reports about hydrogen for energy. Today yet another significant and respected organization crossed my screen, dena, or the German Energy Agency. (Lower-case is their branding and it’s an acronym of a … [continued]
Lithium-air EV batteries could help decarbonize aviation, shipping, and railways if only some key technology hurdles can be leaped.
Another day, another review of a major hydrogen for energy report which doesn’t stand up to the slightest scrutiny. Unfortunately, this one is from the EU’s Joint Research Centre (JRC), its science and knowledge service which employs scientists to carry out research in order to provide independent scientific advice and … [continued]
In recent months I’ve apparently taken on a sideline of assessing major total cost of ownership studies from reputable organizations, specifically looking at their usually weird assumptions around hydrogen. Now it’s the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research‘s turn, although it’s not a TCO study in this case. They’ve released … [continued]
Getting ChatGPT and its image-generating sibling DALL-E to put square wheels on vehicles is as tough as getting hydrogen to make any fiscal sense for ground transportation. Unless you ask it to put square wheels on a hydrogen vehicle, it seems. Michael Sura’ is a Slovakian transportation expert, with years … [continued]
Shell has decided to close all its hydrogen refueling stations for light duty vehicles in California, a blow to fuel cell car drivers.
An alarming new report tracks a sudden drop in fuel cell electric vehicle registrations in Europe last year, but 2024 looks a little brighter.
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]
