With the appropriate incentives and policies deployed now, green hydrogen will be cost competitive in the next decade and can be widely deployed to reduce emissions in the most challenging sectors. Policymakers must make concerted efforts to address the immediate green price gap, develop new end uses, and deploy supporting infrastructure for green hydrogen. The speed and scale of need…
Green hydrogen, a clean energy source made from water and renewable power, could become competitive in a decade, according to French utility Engie SA. That relies on Europe setting up the necessary regulatory framework to drive up demand and slash costs, Sebastien Arbola, the company’s head of thermal generation, hydrogen and energy supply, said Tuesday in Paris. The “tipping point”…
Hydrogen provides a meaningful solution that addresses the need to lower our carbon footprint while preserving the most innovative workforce in the world. A cleaner, more resilient energy future is within reach, and union labor will build it.
In addition to the three diesel trainsets, SBCTA has ordered a hydrogen fuel-cell-powered FLIRT H2 trainset. That train, which will be the first hydrogen-powered passenger train in the U.S., is current under development at Stadler headquarters in Switzerland and is expected to be introduced in 2024.
In short, instead of forcing everything to electrify or everything to use your fuel of choice, let’s develop the necessary technology and infrastructure then use it for the appropriate application – including taking advantage of the merits of hydrogen for long haul heavy trucking operation. In so doing, we can accelerate the proliferation of clean energy in the transportation sector…
