CEE Bankwatch’s May 2026 report, Hydrogen buses in Poland: Where did it all go wrong?, is useful because it moves the hydrogen bus debate out of the brochure and into the depot. It is not another model of what hydrogen might cost in 2035. It is a record of what … [continued]
Chatgpt generated image of energy models weighing imagined centralized futures against real-world electrification and grid flexibility.
An Energy Research & Social Science paper crossed my screen recently that put structure around something visible to anyone who has compared nuclear forecasts with build rates. Nuclear power has been projected to grow faster, cheaper and more broadly than it actually has, not once or twice, but across decades, … [continued]
HVS was not a fringe hydrogen truck company with a sketch and a slogan. It had a serious ambition, a real engineering team, public support, private funding, partnerships, prototypes, and a target market that sounded plausible enough: zero-emission heavy-duty freight. Hydrogen Vehicle Systems wanted to build fuel-cell trucks for a … [continued]
Seven of Vienna’s ten new hydrogen buses are sidelined because CaetanoBus cannot supply ordinary spare parts. Not hydrogen tanks. Not fuel-cell stacks. Not high-pressure valves. Door compressors and blind-spot monitoring systems. That is what makes the case important for transit procurement agencies. The reported failure is not exotic enough to … [continued]

Sacramento, CA — In a written decision today, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) denied a SoCalGas application that would have charged customers $266 million to fund the controversial Angeles Link Project pipeline. This decision means that SoCalGas will either drop the project entirely or require shareholders to pay to develop the risky … [continued]
Saarbahn’s newly opened hydrogen refueling station in Saarbrücken is the moment its hydrogen bus program stops being a procurement story and becomes an operating system. The 28 Wrightbus Kite Hydroliner fuel-cell buses now have a depot station, three 350 bar dispensers, storage capacity, delivery logistics, trained staff, safety systems, and … [continued]

ChatGPT generated infographic illustrating how Uber’s investment in HysetCo is less about hydrogen taxis and more about gaining access to Paris business taxi supply
Uber has invested in HysetCo, the Paris-region company that leases hydrogen taxis and operates much of the refueling network that supports them, with the stated goal of adding nearly 2,000 hydrogen taxis to Uber’s platform over five years. The official story is cleaner zero-emission business travel in Paris, but given … [continued]
