Hydrogen refueling is here

[coetzeeh]

Been following the alternative fueling discussions here but never realised that a significant player is building a Hydrogen refueling estate.

Shell is building a network of 400 Hydrogen refueling stations in Germany, and expanding the network in California according to their website.

Interesting video from the guys at Fully Charged on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCmKAAh-vkE

Very interesting indeed. Definately the future "go to" technology for HGV and other heavy applications in medium term.

I think in a decade Hydrogen will at the very least be positioned alongside BEV as a day to day option.

The fact that Germany and Japan are investing materially into the development of the technology suggests Hydrogen will play a material part in transportation's future - both nations have first class track records for getting technology right.

Hydrogen is very much alive and evolving - look at the intersting developents between Toyota and Shell with regards to HGV transportation in California.

The technology and evolution is probably a decade behind BEV so you really can't compare the two now - but Hydrogen will become material part of clean transportation, no doubt.

OK but physics says it can't. Who will win?

Shell, Honda, Toyota disagrees with you. Who should I believe?

Time will tell I guess.

Small steps but in the right direction.
