NREL study finds high-pressure hydrogen pipeline system could potentially make hydrogen cost-competitive with gasoline

Green Car Congress

A new study by a team at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) concludes that a high-pressure, scalable, intra-city hydrogen pipeline system could improve the economics and logistics of hydrogen delivery, making it potentially cost-competitive with gasoline. The authors assumed a total pipeline length of 38 miles (4.8

What ‘real world’ hydrogen pickup looks like and why it should end the conversation

Baua Electric

This hydrogen-powered GM commercial truck offers 300 miles of range and “generates enough electricity to power 250 typical American homes” (for a few minutes?). GM and its partners were able to get nearly 300 miles of range from the big MD Chevy ( compared to 450 from the Silverado EV ), which has a … let’s go with “unique” look.

Hydrogen Cars vs Electric Cars – Who Is Going to Rule the Market?

Get Electric Vehicle

Upon hearing the term ‘Hydrogen-Powered Car’ for the first time, I assumed it to be like a gasoline car with a few changes. The idea of rockets being powered using hydrogen fuel was the reason behind my assumption (Somehow burning the Hydrogen inside the cylinders like gasoline) and I believe it was the same for most of us. .

Is aviation the best application yet for hydrogen fuel cells?

Charged EVs

His new company, ZeroAvia, is developing an aircraft powertrain energized by hydrogen fuel cells. The goal is to demonstrate a 19-seat aircraft with a 350-mile flight in early 2023. The idea from day one was hydrogen fuel cell-based drivetrains, but it’s hydrogen-electric, so you have to build the electric part.
