UK-based ULEMCo , a developer of a hydrogen-diesel dual-fuel conversion system ( earlier post ), has been awarded Government funding to trial a range of vehicles with hydrogen dual-fuel technology. The funding is worth more than £1.3 million (US$1.6 million), and will see large vans and trucks running on hydrogen dual-fuel.

We now have a sprinkling of promising companies working to get funded to convert gas-guzzlers. Using existing technology, we can convert many of them into plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles. Cash for Conversions” will start by fixing many of our 100 million trucks, vans, and buses. We can upgrade vehicles too.

They are highly automated production islands that directly convert wind energy to hydrogen, with a few of them processing the gas into fuels and other goods. The upshot is that a portion of the green electricity will have to be converted to other types of energy appropriate for specific applications. Experts call this Power-to-X (PtX).
