"Hydrogen storage would still be a problem unless the gas was transformed into synthetic fuel. Hopefully, another scientific breakthrough could address that as soon as possible. We also have another idea floating around that may help solve that."
This statement at the end of the article leads me to believe any widespread distribution of hydrogen is at least 10 years off. It'll be interesting to see if Toyota is vindicated after all! Realistically speaking, this seems like a good solution for long range trucks.
- greenthrow 3y agoNope. It doesn't make sense for long range trucks either. Hydrogen trucks do not have more range than BEV trucks, and they are significantly more expensive to fuel. Battery energy density is increasing and cost is decreasing so fast that hydrogen is irrelevant for all ground transport. In 10 years we will laugh that anyone thought hydrogen was the future.
- angiosperm 3y agoIn ten years, expect nothing visible to happen. The time horizon for a heavy H2 infrastructure is at least 20 years, probably more.
