From TSLA group – about hydrogen from my blog previous to this one. Nick Carrière Said, “…fundamental flaws with hydrogen vehicles…” Well, first off ‘converting to AC for a motor’ is necessary for battery EVs, too. But the losses are only a few percent either way. Said, “Total energy losses are several times higher…” That

This was developed by the University in Australia. It seems to be two or three separate parts. It takes solar electricity and converts it to hydrogen. The H2 is stored in metal hydride ?cartridges? Then the H2 is made into electricity by fuel cells. It says that it also has a 5 kWh lithium battery

Bloom Energy (BE) expects to be profitable in 2021. This article gives insight into its plans and finances. https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/bloom-energy-sees-future-in-hydrogen-fuel-cells-electrolysis-and-carbon-capture
I’ve got them and Bloom Energy (BE) also. Cramer tells about the guy who founded Plug Power and believes in it even though it has been a struggle. But things are looking much better for Plug Power. https://realmoney.thestreet.com/investing/stocks/jim-cramer-here-s-what-successful-speculation-really-looks-like-15558258 I should have bought Ballard Power BLDP, it, like plug has gone up a lot.
In the future there are going to be ships using solid oxide fuel cells to replace generators. The propulsion engines will be replaced with electric motors powered by fuel cells, which will use green hydrogen. https://splash247.com/solid-oxide-fuel-cell-developments-proliferate/ The future needs to be now, we must rush the transition to renewables and leave fossil fuels in the

The Gencell A5 can power a cell site for a year 27/7/365 from a 12 ton tank of anhydrous ammonia. The tank is not pressurized and is at room temperature. The system converts ammonia to hydrogen and nitrogen and the hydrogen powers the fuel cells. https://www.gencellenergy.com/markets-applications/off-grid-power/
This self-contained system uses solar PV panels as the only power input. It generates and stores green hydrogen, then uses it later for both electricity and heat. The fuel cell’s byproduct is water. One important “problem” that I see is that this system makes the customer completely independent of the electricity _and_ gas utilities. There
