Thread: Saving the World with hydrogen just took a step closer

People laughed when an LNG export industry was proposed, and now it leads the world, so it may be unwise to scoff too much about hydrogen.

I know it’s not the same. Every time I read about “Hydrogen is the future” I cannot help but think of those “lighter than air ships”....

Emergency services cringe at LPG. Wonder what angst crashed vehicles running Hydrogen are going to cause.

Hydrogen V Petrol




Emergency services should and do cringe at Lithium fires for very good reasons so do airlines.

I’ve seen those videos.

Similar one was out for LPG vs Petrol....

Have seen several LPG vehicles where the High Pressure plug didn’t burst and the tank exploded violently.

Hydrogen will do exactly the same no doubt.

Love Shark Bay. Worked there telling yarns on the Pearl farm for far to short a time in the 90s

While its "Testing if hydrogen can produce 100% of the baseload power for Denham and other microgids." Suspect we already know it can and will.

When Tesla Motors (NASDAQ: TSLA) introduced its first production model Roadster to the world in 2008, our collective view of electric cars changed instantly.Gone were the skinny wheels, the awkwardly designed bodies, the laughable performance — and with it, the idea that electric cars can't be exciting. This new two-seater could do 0–60 in less than four seconds, topped out at 150 mph, and looked the part from bumper to bumper.Perhaps the only artifact that today's EVs held over from the previous generation was the one behind the wheel, but so strong was the cultural shift on the issue of electric cars that even that geek stood to gain some major social cred just by owning one.
Meet the Hyperion XP-1. Introduced to the world this summer, this car does 0–60 in 2.2 seconds. It tops out at 221 mph. It can go more than 1000 miles on a single fill-up. Moreover, its door design is borrowed from a McLaren. Its shape is evocative of a Bugatti. Its exclusivity rivals any Ferrari.
The Hyperion is, for the hydrogen fuel cell market, what the first Tesla Roadster was for electric vehicles.Now, I know what you might say... this is a one-off supercar; it won't make a difference in the long run.Wrong. In 2022, the XP-1 will debut as a consumer product — 300 units will be made. Sounds like a tiny drop in the bucket, but Tesla only released 500 of its Roadsters in its first year of production, just enough to light the fuse.

The Tesla of Hydrogen Fuel Arrives... at 221 MPH


No I cannot afford one- Boo Hoo

hi folks. came across this item in the new york times.
thought it might be of interest .

I may be shot for this post. In America in the 80s noted shicken Mc Nuggets and several other items which are now main stream in Australia. Yuck then and now and a deliberately left typo on Shicken as I am not sure it is chicken some times when forced

Love my Disco ( assuming mine is revivalable perhaps- DOH ) The death of our diesels will take some time but it is coming I think more quickly then horrible fast foods did .


The fact is that ever-tougher emissions regulations in Europe are killing off the models we once chose from, and that’s impossible to get around.
Even the stunning rise of the SUV hasn’t enabled diesel to retain its fashionista status.Although generally bigger, heavier vehicles and, therefore more suited to diesel power, SUVs in this country have also moved away from diesel to petrol and petrol-hybrid power. "Considering that buyers of some new Toyota models are ticking the hybrid driveline option-box in more than 60 per cent of cases, you can see the trend."


I noted another few billion invested in Green Steel via EU, Mitsubishi Heavy industries and voestalpine prime Metals today. Its the second and the biggest Green steel plant via hydrogen now. I am slow as it is starting operations in 2021.


Mike Strizki home based idea is fun if you have a lot of money to burn? The very big numbers and billions of $$$$$$$ via Yarra fertilizers in WA, shipping and now steel both of which have a need for vast amounts of cheap clean hydrogen make Mike Strizki set ups a cool little minow. Good on him
