At least in the US there are people still willing to stand up to the criminal gang and use the rule of law to do that.

Meanwhile, talking to National Grid PLC, the people who own, run & maintain our power grid. They confirm that we can already handle the power demand from EVs now. Let alone in 20 - 30 years time when transition will be complete. www.nationalgrid.com/stories/jour...

“mainly in China” …

Apart from the fact that our power grids are obliged to be sized for the massive daytime peak demand. So there’s a huge overcapacity surplus at night. Then add that modern EVs have circa 250 miles range so most people are charging about once a week or so & obviously not all at the same time.

Ah you’re just not listening and you’ve become as tedious as I knew you would be. But I can help you with that.

I’m done thanks.
You know my position.
Get back to me if it ever gets finished and used.

Being built, but not finished, will they be used?
Will they be economically viable?

There it is again. “COULD” import.
And, just as I knew it would, your intransigence with reality is getting tedious. It’s really very easy, just get back to me if it ever actually happens.

“Most diesel applications need to run continuously, and most industry bets are on hydrogen for this”
While this singularly isn’t actually happening and grid attached battery storage continues to be deployed in ever increasing numbers across the globe.

That’s their great advantage.
They are energy agnostic.
They don’t care where the energy comes from. So they can be used now, cleaning up our polluted city air WHILE our grid goes green in parallel. But hydrogen is still waiting for a surplus of renewables, someday.

Your post doesn’t appear to make a relevant point with regard to batteries supplanting oil for transport.

That’s just it, solar, wind and #BEV definitely have got going. While hydrogen definitely hasn’t got going after trying for decades.
comment in response to

Yes, batteries will not replace oil (for road transport) just because you confidently state batteries will not replace oil.
Especially with sales of #BEV vehicles continually rising month on month, year on year.

To make profits you need to make and sell your products. It’s just not happening is it?

I’m just posting documented facts.
If you don’t like them then maybe block me instead of following me?
Hydrogen projects appear to regularly undermine themselves with regard to technical and economic reasons on a very regular basis. Hence the recent slew of hydrogen companies going bust.

I love it when nutcases on social media imagine that they can give people orders and tell them what they should or should not be doing.
If the hydrogen “economy” can be undermined by my posts then it must be pretty hopeless indeed !

That’s fine.
Get back to me whenever any of it ever actually happens. 👍

The difference being that Tesla has made and sold millions of EVs while making a healthy profit. I have seen claims about how much green hydrogen “will” cost, someday, for decades. It has never happened.
Have a nice day, maybe do a search on the #HydrogenSoufflé hashtag when you get a minute?

As previously stated, there will always be niché industrial processes that will use H2. As for the rest, to save a long & tedious conversation, just get back to me if any of it is ever built & operated as a viable economic project without public subsidy.
comment in response to
post
You responded to me, and even followed me. Sorry you don’t like the absolute fact that H2 has made almost zero progress in transport and there are NO grid attached H2 seasonal storage systems anywhere. But that’s just not my problem.
comment in response to
post
There will always be niché industrial processes that require H2, and that should be green H2. But there is no significant use of H2 for any type of transport or for any seasonal storage. Even though it’s been talked about for decades. There are many solid economic and engineering reasons for that.

Almost as surprising as Riversimple.
At least Nikola Motors actually delivered a few vehicles.

Hydrogen station buildout? Plateauing and even declining in some regions.
Hydrogen vehicle sales? Peaked and declining.

energy demand follows an s-curve, as for most systems, that we assume, see: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... ; hydrogen for road vehicles is by far too expensive, thus, it will not happen. Batteries are much lower in cost, can be charged fast, and are not limited in raw materials (with SIB)

hydrogen will NOT be a main fuel for road vehicles. currently 3-4 orders of magnitude more BEV than FCEV are sold and this is due to fundamental technology reasons. In my team we have the paper with the highest H2 demand published ever doi.org/10.1016/j.ij... - still on the road there's no value add

Riversimple have 2 decades experience of milking other people money.
This might finally stop once enough of the investors and government backers have experienced BEVs so they wake up to fact that Riversimple is trying to solve a problem that's already solved in cheaper and more practical ways.

This is the 264 ton mining truck the article is talking about. They started with H2 and went to batteries. There are already more 1000 KW chargers in Europe than H2 fueling stations. This race is done.
