The August 12, 2021 New York Times article by Hiroko Tabuchi leads off with a misleading and narrowly focused headline, “For Many, Hydrogen Is the Fuel of the Future. New Research Raises Doubts.” The article reports on a paper by two university professors whose principal argument is critical of “blue hydrogen,” which is produced from reforming methane (i.e., natural gas)…
1. Green hydrogen can better utilize solar and wind energy when its supply is high and reduce electricity costs for Midwesterners. 2. Green hydrogen can decarbonize steel mills in the Great Lakes region. 3. Green hydrogen can decarbonize trucking along the Midwest corridor and markedly improve air quality for Midwesterners. 4. Green hydrogen can create thousands of Midwestern jobs.
Fuel cell vehicles could account for one-third of commercial trucks in China by 2050, predicts JPMorgan’s Elaine Wu. Major automakers such as Toyota, Honda and BMW are tapping into the hydrogen fuel cell market. China is currently leading the world in hydrogen production and accounts for a third of global output, according to Wu. China is already pushing for the…
The dual fuel cell modules, which are a key component of an overall FC kit, weigh approximately 1,400 pounds and can deliver up to 160kW of continuous power. The FC kit also includes a high voltage battery, electric motors, transmission and hydrogen storage assembly from top-tier suppliers. Toyota will also offer its powertrain integration expertise that will help truck manufacturers…
The car component maker's investment is aimed at responding preemptively to rapid growth in the global fuel cell market that is projected to reach $28.9 billion in 2028.
More than 20 provinces and 40 cities in China have published development plans worth trillions of yuan for hydrogen energy facilities, according to the state-run Economic Daily. The country delivered 558 fuel-cell buses in the first six months of 2021, compared with 17,000 battery electric buses deployed in the second quarter of this year alone, according to BNEF.
