The world's first hydrogen gas fuel-cell superyacht, long rumored to have been commissioned by billionaire Microsoft founder Bill Gates, is now officially for sale.
@Hypx I never understood how the BEV fanatics hate on Toyota for making a #hydrogen vehicle and completely ignore that Hyundai does. Hyundai makes great BEV’s but their flagship technology is hydrogen fuel cells.
Lowest subsidy of 0,37 €/kg was claimed by #RenGas project in Lahti, #Finland, producing 12kt H2 p.a. and combining with CO2 from nearby bioenergy plant to produce methane for traffic.
The waste heat from the H2/CH4 process is sold as #districtHeat which yields more proceeds (10M€ p.a.) than the subsidy (4M€ p.a.). The 60-90MW electrolyser can also bid in reserve market.
FirstElement Fuels has opened the world’s first large-scale hydrogen fueling station for heavy-duty commercial trucks just outside the Port of Oakland.
RT by @EUClimateAction: The EC 🇪🇺 is awarding nearly €720 million to 7 #RenewableHydrogen projects in Europe, selected through the 1st competitive bidding process under the European #Hydrogen Bank.
Its funding comes from the revenues of the EU Emissions Trading System.
What role can #hydrogen play in accelerating industrial #decarbonisation in Southeast Asia? That’s a question we tried to answer in a new report together with @AgoraEW as part of an ongoing series on hydrogen as a potential clean energy carrier. 1/x
@mzedp This is BEV propaganda. The infrastructure needed for all-battery transportation is insane. It is basically impossible and for all practical purposes has already failed as an idea. The reason why you hear about anything else is because BEVs have failed.
"Government’s hydrogen strategy may sabotage decarbonisation: expert"
A bit old (originally from 2022), but still very valid. #Hopium is the method of choice for the fossils to continue to do what they have been doing all along, and it gets in the way of cleaning up our act for a more sustainable future.
@Hypx
Well, already through the laws of science (2nd law of thermodynamics), an ICE has a ideal capping of efficiency as can be established by the Carnot cycle. A Diesel engine (as a very efficient member of the ICE family) for example can only convert about 40% of its chemical energy to be usable.
This is not yet even factoring in other problems and shortcomings of bringing #Hopium into a (traditional) combustion process or the logistics chain on top of environmental impacts.
@phlogiston Fuel cells are not capped by the Carnot cycle, since they are not heat engines. You can easily reach 60% efficiency, and eventually the same level of efficiency as what batteries can reach.
Don't know how to build your green hydrogen plant; Danish Green Hydrogen Systems will sell you one in the 6 to 50MW range
-Colab with engineering firm BWSC to sell H2 plants, pre-engineered & optimized
-Based on GHS 6MW X-Series plant operating in Denmark
