  • My point is simple.

    Hydrogen derived from natural gas can not be used in fuel cells. Only hydrolysis hydrogen is viable.
    It is one of ‘many’ reasons why hydrogen fuel will never be a thing.

    • Along with Hydrogen seeping through everything

    • Along with Hydrogen embrittlement

    The energy efficiency loss to convert Solar/Wind/Nuc -> Hydrogen -> Mechanical or Solar/Wind/Nuc -> Hydrogen -> Electrical -> Mechanical

    Will never be cost effective compared to Solar/Wind/Nuc -> Electrical(batt) -> Mechanical

    Hydrogen has been known to man for a 1000 years, and yet
    Gobal International WARS have been fought in the past century along with massive geopolitical maneuvering and trillions upon trillions of $$$ spent on the energy sector.

    Do you really thing we’d be spending the $$$ we do for deep sea drilling if hydrogen was even close to being a viable resource?

    No new technology has been developed that makes hydrogen useful. No. Fuel Cells are not it.
    There just isn’t enough energy gained by connecting Hydrogen -> Oxygen no matter what process you come up with.

    Unless we find a way to fuse hydrogen together, hydrogen is a dead end and always has been.














  • government regulation to force companies to begin using a modular system

    Yeah, that’s fair. But the issue is also similar to cell phones.

    Each battery is unique because it needs to fit the unique layout of the vehicle. Not to mention the battery tech is moving so fast, that the chemistry of the battery itself is changing every few years.

    I suspect China’s approach to a vehicle where you hot-swap the batteries instead of charging will be the way it goes. Someone will do it, it will be most $$$ efficient and therefore profitable, and then it will force them all to adopt the same approach.
