Thread: Hydrogen electric vehicles doing 2000kms

One of the first references I read about ammonia storing Hydrogen.

Cheers.

We could have a clean energy advantage for manufacturing steel using hydrogen, study finds.

100 hydrogen buses about to roll at ten sites in Oz.

Timing is great for Perth as a hydrogen from poo plant there will be online soon. (Hazer water treatment hydrogen/graphite plant)

GLOBAL HYDROGEN FUEL-CELL PROJECT LAUNCHED: 100 BUSES, PHASE 1

Who wants one of these babies
Battery or soon to be hydrogen with "PHOENIX, AZ (October 8, 2019) -- The National Center for Manufacturing Sciences (NCMS) has awarded a team from Nikola Powersports and Pratt & Miller Engineering a project to integrate a hydrogen fuel cell into the Nikola Reckless electric vehicle in order to test and validate performance and efficiency, via U.S. Department of Defense (DoD)’s Commercial Technologies for Maintenance Activities (CTMA) cooperative agreement. Nikola will receive $1 million, of the $4.35 million project, and work directly with the project partners to allocate the remaining funds. The research project begins immediately and will last for 32 weeks. "For the first time this allows Nikola, in collaboration with Pratt & Miller Engineering, the opportunity to integrate hydrogen fuel cell technology in an electric off-road vehicle,” said Andrew Christian, Nikola’s vice president of defense, Nikola Powersports. “This is truly a groundbreaking effort in our quest to have a zero-emission future.""

Do you know Perth had a Hydrogen bus trial about 30-40 years ago.

The trial failed as the hydrogen had to be 100% or near pure back then and industrial hydrogen was only something like 94% pure.

I was told this by the Asia Pacific CEO of BOC who oversaw the trial and stated that it was the greatest failure of his career..

Hopefully they have ironed out the problems by now.

Looking at the buses they appear to have the tank on the roof , and be IC engines ( by the look of the grill on the rear) , the same as the old Perth trial.

Good idea but there is nothing new under the sun.

New under the sun today has my head spinning today Philip. HZR will do that for Perth soon

Ships- Mursk and others

Hydro Hydrogen- Swiss

And Nel which is related to my post. All except Nel/Nikola are fully green hydrogen or in Perth's case, green than green as it uses a green house gas and makes it clean. Perth poo never smelled so sweet

I fully appreciate the disappointment in hydrogen from a clean green prospective until now. I wonder if you could ask for friends view of the changes now? BOC makes 10-12 tonnes of C02 for every tonne of hydrogen it makes and sells now. They (Linde group) are clearly one of the most needing the changes occurring to protect there huge world wide business. BASF and several others in the race as well

I am now wondering COULD I

Nikola eclipses Ford and targets Australia as first market for Badger hydrogen ute | The Driven


Australia is to be one of the first markets for the hydrogen-powered Nikola Badger ute, with reservations to open on June 29, the company tweeted on Tuesday.
The news about the hotly anticipated electric utility truck (known as a ute in Australia and pickup in the US) followed closely on the heels of the company’s listing on the Nasdaq after a reverse merger with VectoIQ Acquisition Corp, and a surge in its market value to surpass that of legacy car makers Ford and FCA.
That achievement was loudly trumpeted on Twitter by Nikola founder and executive chair Trevor Milton and indicates the huge interest in Nikola, which seeks to disrupt the trucking industry with three hydrogen-fuelled trucks alongside the Badger electric ute.
In-day trading saw the company’s market cap eclipse $US30 billion ($A43.03 billion) on June 9, closing the day at a still healthy $US28.63 billion ($A41.06 billion), compared to Ford’s $US28.8 billion ($A41.31 billion) at market close the same day.


Noting the share price pulled back a little not really allowing a Badger in my garage or will it

Fascinating that a start-up like this is now worth more than Ford. Tesla has aleady led the way in disrupting the established order, of course.
The world sure is changing and those who fail to adapt are just going to die out.
Look at GM which used to be the biggest and is now in full scale retreat back to its north-American base.
