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

This sounds like a great project to produce green hydrogen.

Plan to build world’s biggest renewable energy hub in Western Australia | Renewable energy | The Guardian

15,000acres reflecting heat back up from
Massive solar arrays. Which also reduce light to the ground.

Hmm what could possibly be the next big issue?

Perhaps this plague of oversized house fans and aluminium framed silicon wafers

At Tokyo 2020, hydrogen shows promise of a carbon-free future - Olympic News (olympics.com)

The Olympic Hydrogen City- Athletes Village - "athlete buses and heat water in the cafeterias, dormitories and training facilities"

"Olympic Partner Toyota, which also produced the world’s first hydrogen-powered cars in 2014, will supply approximately 500 Mirai fuel cell vehicles to the Games to help transport staff and officials. Toyota will also deliver 100 hydrogen fuel cell buses (FCBs) to ferry athletes around. Each bus has 10 hydrogen tanks to carry a total of 600 litres"

And " this will be the first time in Olympic history that the Olympic cauldron will be powered with hydrogen"

Not at all sure the colour of the Hydrogen used is important in this case. Showing the world it does and can occur is a key starting point. All the possible negative comment if it is grey hydrogen is also fine with me. It is then we can ask or show a scalable Australian hydrogen/Graphite C02 Negative process which would fit in almost any location all over the world.

I think it might be "Hideki Matsuyama" making history. I wonder if its with a flaming golf ball? "It remains unclear how the torch will enter the stadium for the opening ceremony; the games are due to begin on 23 July."

I am guessing how the Hydrogen Olympic cauldron will be lit up in a few days time.


One of the first countries to adopt a national hydrogen strategy in 2017, it is giving hydrogen a starring role at Tokyo 2020.

"With their immense reach and visibility, the Olympic Games are a great opportunity to demonstrate technologies which can help tackle today's challenges, such as climate change," said Marie Sallois in a release, Director for Corporate and Sustainable Development at the International Olympic Committee. "Tokyo 2020's showcasing of hydrogen is just one example of h ..

And no doubt Gladys will want her cut too just like she's been trying to pinch back the majority of our GST return from the feds

JLR is planning a hydrogen Defender.

Land Rover Defender to run on hydrogen - carsales.com.au

And think. At the Olympics they will only need one refuelling point location.

is that the ship from Western Port in Vic? just kidding that ship is still being built

WA targets 12% of global renewable hydrogen export market by 2030

The 2030 target was outlined in the McGowan government’s State Infrastructure Strategy, a 20-year blueprint for planning and investment decisions, and focuses on cheaper renewable generation technologies and the state’s target of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

That is HUGE plus. Given the forecast is to just replace existing dirty hydrogen (70 Mt per year )and new needs for shipping and heavy transport, green steel and .... likely to be multiples of that 70 million tonnes per year.

With the "Global electrolysis capacity becoming operational annually, 2014-2023, historical and announced " showing as a mere fraction and growth rates in fuel Cells at a CARG (Compound annual rate of growth) which make to recent space rockets look slow and low altitude flights

You might think WA is dreaming? I assume they are smarter than your average state myself
