Welcome to the best source of hydrogen news on the net.

Hydrogen is about much more than cars in 2023. Drones, Trucks, Trains, Buses, Ships, Forklifts, Bin Lorries, Backup Power, Bicycles and more are being fueled with green hydrogen today, leading the path to carbon free mobility and more.

Green H2 is key to the green energy transition. A trillion-dollar industry is being born - watch it unfold here, now.

Battery over hydrogen

I know many prefer battery electric vehicles over hydrogen. And I get some of the arguments.

But from a sustainablility point of view. Are hydrogen cells better for the environment in terms of mining etc. or even trying to diversity due to China having most cobolt reserves etc.

It is just due to the wasted energy in getting hydrogen that people are against them? Batteries degrade over time, do fuel cells?

Dumb question about fuell cell truck's future

Hello. I watched many videos about NikolaVolvo and Volvotata Tatas fuel cell trucks. People applaud them okay it is good and incredible use water as fuel for trucks.

But almost all truck tractors that is fully cell-based, need an average of 10-14 KG of Hydrogen. As I researched for each kg of hydrogen to be produced, you need 49 kw energy. so for 10060 miles ofile driving, you need 500-600 kof wh energy. Each kwh costs 0.2 in each 0.15-0.2 somewhere even more. let's say you pay 0.2$ for each kWh.

To drive a fuel cell truck 100km/60 miles long you need to pay for 500kwh = 100$. That is 3 double then diesel price maybe 3 times more. Then where is a revolution in hydrogen trucks if you need to pay at least double for it.?Needles to say that this fuel cell trucks themself cost over 400k-500k $
