Normally, we don’t cover hydrogen stuff much here at CleanTechnica. Well, at least not seriously. Often, we’re making fun of it! Why? Because for most applications, hydrogen is a terrible way to store energy. The only really clean way to make the stuff at this point is using electricity to separate the hydrogen and oxygen […]

There are a number of ways to make hydrogen gas. Most people know about electrolysis, because it’s both the cleanest way to make it (at present) and we probably saw a high school science teacher make some. There are also ways to get it from fossil fuels (like steam reformation). It’s also possible to get […]

Is Sustainable Aviation Fuel the Solution for the Aviation industry?

In a recent report from Rethink Energy, lead analyst Bogdan Avramuta makes the point that depending on “sustainable aviation fuel” — that is, kerosene created from waste — will not achieve the aviation industry’s goals of decarbonization. “The 2050 target set by the industry to itself is to halve its emission compared to 2005 levels.” […]

European Parliament Members: EV Charging Stations Should Be Available Every 60 Kilometers

It’s pretty difficult to determine how many charging stations are “enough” on highways. Something simplistic, like taking the average EV’s range and putting the stations no more than that far apart, fails because it doesn’t factor in things like weather and terrain. Making sure that the stations aren’t too far apart for even lower-range EVs […]

Sexy / unsexy, practical / impractical quadrant chart of aviation innovation and decarbonization by Michael Barnard, Chief Strategist, TFIE Strategy IncAviation and aerospace used to be sexy all the time. People dressed up to fly on airplanes. It used to be an event. Being an airline pilot used to be a combination of swashbuckler and nomad, with a lover in every (air)port. Now, not so much.

Sex/Unsexy, Practical/Impractical: Ground Transport Has Silly Nonsense & Boring Reality

Quadrant chart of sexy vs practicality by authorAll of us, most of the time, wander around on the surface of the Earth. A small percentage travel across rivers, lakes and oceans in boats of various kinds regularly. A smaller percentage than that get above the ground into the skies. And, of course, the tiniest rounding error on a gnat’s hairy thorax get above the atmosphere. So let’s talk about moving around on the ground in this next edition of sexy/unsexy, practical/impractical.
