Hydrogen Trains Uneconomic
Germany introduced hydrogen FCEV trains from 2018 in Frankfurt and Saxony areas. LNVG as now gone to tender for over 100 all battery electric as hydrogen too expensive and H2 trains termed “misery trains”.

Green Steel with Carbon Capture Unlikely
Green steel produced by direct reduction is likely to have metallurgical coal become a stranded asset, as cost reductions and increasing technology improvements to make green steel viable.
Hydrogen for Home Heating
Sophisticated modelling shows hydrogen for home heating is a non starter except in a few use cases and heatpumps and batteries provide a more effective solution to home energy use.
Hydrogen Motorcycle Engines
Hydrogen for transportation won’t die, and the big 4 Japanese motorcycle manufacturers have joined together to develop hydrogen engines for motorcycles. But Why?
Hydrogen Cult Madness
Is Hydrogen like a cult? Hydrogen cult madness? Proponents claim that H2 will solve the renewable energy transition challenges but the science evidence it wont.
Toyota No-EV Strategy Risks Japan’s Economy
Cars are a major contributor to Japans economy with 5.5m or 24% of employees, and contribute 14% of all exports. Toyota’s no-ev strategy could mean Japan loses 14% of its GDP and $700 billion of exports as other EV makers overtake Toyota globally.
Electrical Management Systems Key to Efficiency
Electrical management systems have evolved from their large diesel engine power plant buinsess. They have flexible energ
Hydrogen Battery Storage
The cost of hydrogen is a key metric if hydrogen can be used as long term storage in the energy supply mix to overcome long durations of lack of sun or wind for renewable energy generation
New Hydrogen Technologies for Cheaper H2
New hydrogen technologies are all about getting the cost of hydrogen to under $1 per kg to be cost competitive with other battery and energy storage.
Hydrogen Storage and Transport Problems
Hydrogen is touted as a good storage mechanism and can be added to existing gas heating systems, for aircraft and for transportation. But there are serious issues and unreal optimism.
