2023-11-23 H2 Advocates/ICCT Don’t Understand PPAs, RECs, Wholesale, Retail Electricity
First, the Prime Directive: The release of GHGs – greenhouse gases – by humans into the atmosphere must be stopped. Burning fossil fuels for industry and transportation make up a major part of those GHGs. Fossil fuels must be replaced by fuels that add no GHGs to the atmosphere. Hydrogen is one choice. I want

2023-11-15 HYDROGEN – You Wouldn’t Be Alive Without It!
I constantly see the armchair BEV (battery electric vehicle) ‘experts’ badmouth hydrogen FCEVs. The hydrogen is 3X less efficient than BEVs, they claim. But the ICEVs (internal combustion engine vehicles) they’re now driving are less efficient than the hydrogen FCEVs! So why are these hypocrites complaining? Hydrogen has been *safely* generated, stored and transported in

2023-10-12 Haber Process – Making Ammonia Is Very Energy Intensive
Those who are concerned about the use of fossil fuels are typically concerned about transportation and fossil fuels use in homes and industries. But they tend to ignore the fact that humans use a large amount of fossil fuels to make fertilizer to grow food. Without fertilizer there would be global starvation. Along with other

2023-09-16 Liquid H2 Pump Tested, Reliable
Wow! 90 Megapascals is 888 atmospheres or 13,000 PSI. And this pump puts out 160 kilograms of LH2 per hour. That’s a lot of liquid hydrogen! This is in Livermore, California. FirstElement Fuel and MHI Complete the Reliability Testing of Liquid Hydrogen Pump

Cash strapped Nikola needs the money. This is 920 acres of undeveloped land. https://www.hydrogeninsight.com/production/billionaire-andrew-forrests-fortescue-buys-its-first-us-green-hydrogen-project-from-cash-strapped-nikola-motors/2-1-1489317
2023-09-02 Green Hydrogen Plans For Mediterranean
There apparently are millions of armchair experts who badmouth about all the dangers and impossibilities of making, storing and transporting hydrogen. They all say that H2 leaks like water through a sieve and that hydrogen causes containers to become brittle, as fragile as a clay pot. They are being ignored by the engineers who have

2023-08-28 Graphene Discovery Could Help Generate Hydrogen Cheaply And Sustainably
This sounds like it could revolutionize hydrogen electrolysis from water. Currently the electrolysis requires catalyst made of platinum which is rare and costly. “Graphene discovery could help generate hydrogen cheaply and sustainably.” ScienceDaily.
