The Tokyo Metropolitan Government is doubling its budget for hydrogen-related initiatives from fiscal 2024, seeing them as key to combating climate change. While previously supporting fuel cell vehicle (FCV) purchases and the establishment of hydrogen fueling stations, the focus is shifting to promote the adoption of hydrogen fuel cell-powered commercial vehicles including large trucks. Will this be a catalyst for the widespread adoption of hydrogen?
Hydrogen pipelines are a lot cheaper and simpler to build than high-voltage powerlines.
And you are just ignoring what I just wrote and substitute outright lies from BEV companies. Again, there is no difference in CO2 emissions when both are made from fossil fuels. As a result, BEVs are not any greener and arguably much worse when you look at certain factors related to weight and battery production. The entire argument over efficiency is just a extremely rare scenario which doesn’t even apply in this case, and won’t apply even in the future. In reality, you will need to store electricity in a 100% renewable grid. That requires large scale and long-duration energy storage solutions. One of which is hydrogen based energy storage. So you will charge your BEV with hydrogen power in the future. This quickly kills the idea that BEVs are anymore efficient.
And that is before you factor future innovation. In the long run, we will make hydrogen directly, such as from photocatalysts or thermal processes that don’t use electricity. Fuel cells will increase in efficiency until they are basically the same as conventional batteries. As a result, this entire argument will be totally rejected. It will only be remembered as this BEV propaganda statement from the early 21st century.
Nice gish gallop, mate. You’re really a lost cause.
You are projecting. You are the one spamming BEV propaganda. You are the one repeating lies. People like you are nothing more than climate change deniers and allies of corporate interests.
