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

Ammonia from farms, along with NOx, make up 40% of PM2.5 air pollution in other developed countries. The people should cut back on meat and dairy consumption – eat meat once a week. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/nov/04/ammonia-from-farms-behind-60-of-uk-particulate-air-pollution-study
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

New research has enabled fixating nitrogen easier than by the Haber-Bosch process. About half the world’s food supply depends on the fertilizer made by the Haber-Bosch process. It is imperative that we end the use of fossil fuels in the Haber-Bosch process because its end product is CO2 greenhouse gas. It must be replaced by

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 2017 article is on a website dedicated to ammonia as a the mechanism for transporting hydrogen to be used as fuel. There is a large amount of hydrogen made into ammonia for fertilizer, so it’s an established industry. But this uses methane AKA natural gas as the source for the hydrogen, so it is
