Phil Ansell, an aerospace engineer at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, modeled the life cycle carbon dioxide equivalent emissions of liquid hydrogen production required to meet the fuel needs of Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport (ORD) with today’s electric grid mix. Or is it better to liquefy it on site at the airport?

And the reality is that the grid in many parts of the country will get greener at a faster rate than the EV sales share. And of those states, only two states — the aforementioned Colorado — and Illinois have more than 30% of their electricity from coal. On the flip side, 14 states with the highest EV sales accounted for 81.1%

Compared to a traditional flow battery of comparable size, it can store 15 to 25 as much energy, allowing for a battery system small enough for use in an electric vehicle and energy-dense enough to provide the range and the speedy refill of a gasoline-powered vehicle. There is only so much salt you can dissolve in a glass of water.
