      You can actually absorb it onto disks of a type of metal. Hydrogen stores 5 times as much energy as gasoline which stores several times as much energy as the very best batteries. bottom line, hydrogen cars or any other machines have the capacity to run for 10-20 times the distance of a battery powered car. Once upon a time, nobody thought solar panels had a future. Now they cost hundreds of times less. You are as bad as the people who laughed at electric cars. keep an open mind. Neither BMW or Toyota are run by idiots.

      @@hoffinger - Geologic Hydrogen is yet untested, as it's only been assessed at a few locations. There are questions about output quality, fracking requirements and exploration risks such as hydrogen pocket concentration and distribution (will the hydrogen pockets build up in single locations or will they be distributed across a wider area in many pockets requring multiple wells to be drilled). There are also questions how local geology might gum up extraction due to hydrogen being highly reactive with the surrounding minerals, and what additional technology innovations will be required to be implemented to capture non-hydrogen gas releases. For example the powerful greenhouse gas methane is often co-located with hydrogen deposits and the current flare burning method is not a suitable solution as it makes geologic hydrogen a non-green product.

      The economics just don’t work. California subsidized H2 stations 10-15 years ago and Toyota built Mirai FCEVs which have been a total flop. The h2 is made from reformed methane at refineries and sold at a cost of $36/kg (55-60 miles/kg economy). For $36 USD you can buy 10 gallons (38L) of gasoline/petrol. Shell closed 8 hydrogen stations in California this year, leaving about 45 left.

    Let's say it would be possible to bring hydrogen infrastructure into affordability as well as the other development problems. The focus seems to be on fuel cell hydrogen cars because they're more efficient than burning hydrogen as fuel in generating power to drive the wheels. The only way to get the hydrogen is to use power to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen or to strip hydrogen from hydrocarbons which would leave carbon that you'd have to pay to safely dispose of. So you take electricity to generate hydrogen which is then used to generate electricity in a car to electrically drive it. In what way isn't it cheaper to just take the original electricity and put it into batteries in the car and drive it directly with that?

    Interesting. But even if the hydrogen is actually ‘green’ and made by surplus wind and solar surely the difficulties of transporting and storing such a dangerously explosive gas will be a problem. The other question is ‘what are the actual exhaust emissions because I doubt it is just water’.

    • @GruffSillyGoat
      @GruffSillyGoat 2 місяці тому +1

      Just to add to your point - currently there is no surplus wind or solar; curtailment is often projected as surplus for this purpose but actually the renewable electrical energy is required just at different time to generation. The solution to this is grid batteries not the expensive inefficient generation of hydrogen. Perhaps once the renewable energy generation build-out is complete that further renewables can be deployed focussed to generate hydrogen. Until that time hydrogen generation should focus on industrial processes where the waste heat by-product of hydrogen generation can be utilised to raise the process efficiency.

      Why? Where do you get the carbon to make e-fuels from? It has to be renewable so you are looking at biomass. Please bear in mind that the energy content of something like corn ethanol is not much more than the energy required to produce it and may actually be less. Also consider tthe fact that burning an e-fuel in an engine is only 25% efficient. Once you have done that perhaps you will undersand that e-fuels are only going to be useful in niche applications.

      @@rogerphelps9939 Hi Roger. Don't get me wrong I was just saying between the choice of Hydrogen or e-fuels I'd prefer that. At least with e-fuels all the infrastructure is there. Between BEV and Hydrogen I think BEV is the clear winner and I've got no idea why they are trying to pursue it. From a legacy ICE manufacturer e-Fuels would be better for them as they can continue making cars they way they know how.

    I can understand that there are benefits for someone, Toyota-BMW-others, but what benefits does the consumer get from a hydrogen car? Is it lower car acquisition cost? Is it cost/km? Where's the beef?

      I suppose it is the chimera of easy refuelling. If a hydrogen vehicle could be refuelled at something like a presentt day pettrol sttation at the same coat as electricity and in a similar time as filling with petrol then there would be a huge marke fro those who cannot charge an EV at home. Unfortunately this is just fantasy and it would be far beter to ensure that everyone has access to conveniently located and reasonably priced charging facilities.

    Hydrogen has a future in industrial use and I think Toyota is a great car company but hydrogen for cars seems like bad choice. All things being equal, EVs are less complex, less costly to build, more reliable, safer, and you don't have to deal with transportation costs of hydrogen. The main benefit of hydrogen is far superior Wh/kg but that's only needed for specific use cases like long distance jumbo jets, some types of factories where immense amounts of heat is needed, and other similar high energy use cases.

    I wonder if the fossil-fuel lobby will turn on hydrogen EVs as they have on battery EVs, can imagine similar pot-hole causing claims being extended to FCEV's what with their increased weight and the water exhaust being dumped by the mass of hydrogen vehicles on the road, penetrating and cracking the tarmac in cold weather. Also, will they equivocate claims about so called FCEV air-quality issues as oxygen levels being increased in green generation areas, but decreased along major road arteries where it's consumed by a mass of FCEV vehicles.
    Probably not, well as long as fossil-fuel is consumed in the production of hydrogen that is.

The Mirai releases about 12ml of water per mile, which when considering the case if a high volume of FCEV based traffic passing over a period of time the water dispersion from the vehicles adds up.
