Unsurprisingly, when it comes to hydrogen, the more real-world data collection and analysis that is done and published, the worse it looks. The latest black eye for the tiny molecule that so many love is in the efficiency of making hydrogen at refueling stations. The Hydrogen Research and Fueling Facility … [continued]

In the past few days I’ve been going deep on some very odd results out of a Canadian transit think tank’s research and reports for client municipalities, finding that bad assumptions and worse scenarios resulted in $1.5 billion being taken off of hydrogen bus costs. Discussion around this led to … [continued]
