Energy researchers: clean US hydrogen economy is within reach, but needs a game plan

Green Car Congress

Addressing climate change requires not only a clean electrical grid, but also a clean fuel to reduce emissions from industrial heat, long-haul heavy transportation, and long-duration energy storage. Hydrogen and its derivatives could be that fuel, argues a commentary by four energy researchers in the journal Joule.

California clean fuels rule reports 100% compliance in 2017

Green Car Congress

The 2017 Compliance Report for the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) shows 100% compliance with the regulation. The program considers greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at all stages of production of a fuel, from pump or field to wheel. Electricity displaced about 75 million gallons of petroleum. That equals an over-compliance of 9.8

Why Do Japanese Automakers Like Hydrogen Power?

The Truth About Cars

Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, and Yamaha have just collectively promised to develop a slew of hydrogen-reliant engines designed to power small vehicles. It’s largely counter to what the rest of the world is doing and begs the question of why Japan seems so intent on making hydrogen power work. But it hasn’t been steady progress.
