Green hydrogen – energy storage
Previously we outlined ten reasons hydrogen was dead for transportation, yet we see Stellantis flawed hydrogen strategy proposed by the CEO. Despite Carolos Tavares says in an online event that the cost of hydrogen mobility is ‘sky high’, just two months after introducing eight new H2 van models. He says fuel-cell road transport is ‘far […]
Will Australia be a hydrogen superpowre and is the vision fantasy or reality. The absolute physics suggest that Australia can use its vast area and high sunlight for adding value to exisiting exports of iron, aluminium and minerals.

Dr Paul Martin, a 30 veteran in the hydrogen engineering business distills his hydrogen thoughts into a Linkedlin Article. This post attempts to summarise his 30 plus articles to the key essence. Hydrogen is not a fuel.
A credibility gap exists between stated Hydrogen suse and progress to date. Michael Liebreich terms this missig trillions of investment needed to achieve the goals.
Real world examples where hydrogen fuel cell buses and transport systems have been deployed as “trials” and abandoned due to high costs and reliability.
Will the decrease in the cost of hydrogen electrolyzers be sufficiently fast to compete with other energy solutions? Will China drive the cost down fast enough?
The passage of the IRA bill was enabled by politics and putting in expenditure to placate fossil fuel states and representatives. The $7 billion for hydrogen trucks is an example of sheer folly, but political necessity
Buses powered by Hydrogen are in the headlines – as the hydrogen industry try to muscle into the electric bus industry, With less than 0.1% of the global bus market – are they destined by by the BETA of tapes in 5 years?
Germany introduced hydrogen FCEV trains from 2018 in Frankfurt and Saxony areas. LNVG as now gone to tender for over 100 all battery electric as hydrogen too expensive and H2 trains termed “misery trains”.
Green steel produced by direct reduction is likely to have metallurgical coal become a stranded asset, as cost reductions and increasing technology improvements to make green steel viable.
Sophisticated modelling shows hydrogen for home heating is a non starter except in a few use cases and heatpumps and batteries provide a more effective solution to home energy use.
Hydrogen for transportation won’t die, and the big 4 Japanese motorcycle manufacturers have joined together to develop hydrogen engines for motorcycles. But Why?
Is Hydrogen like a cult? Hydrogen cult madness? Proponents claim that H2 will solve the renewable energy transition challenges but the science evidence it wont.
Hydrogen fuel cell cars are still promoted but they will be dead within 2 years due to emissions as bad as petrol cars, poor infrastructure and rapid improving charging and range with battery electric cars.

The cost of hydrogen is a key metric if hydrogen can be used as long term storage in the energy supply mix to overcome long durations of lack of sun or wind for renewable energy generation
New hydrogen technologies are all about getting the cost of hydrogen to under $1 per kg to be cost competitive with other battery and energy storage.
Hydrogen is touted as a good storage mechanism and can be added to existing gas heating systems, for aircraft and for transportation. But there are serious issues and unreal optimism.
Green hydrogen has 3 challenges to be part of the energy mix. a) cheap manufacture. b) cheap transport and c) applicable uses. That journey has started..
Renewable green hydrogen is a myth when auto makers and fossil fuel companies say will transform the transportation network. Here are 5 simple reasons you need to dispel myths about hydrogen
