$360M Discrepancy In Brampton Transit Study: Hydrogen Mix Falsely Positioned As Lower Cost Option

Credit to Author: Michael Barnard| Date: Fri, 18 Oct 2024 23:17:29 +0000

In recent days I’ve become aware that a purportedly neutral and data-centric transit organization, the Canadian Urban Transit Research and Innovation Consortium (CUTRIC), has been advancing hydrogen for urban transit in contradiction of global evidence of failure. A contact forwarded me a more detailed study that they’d done for the … [continued]

Quebec Hydrogen Fleet After Four Years: $500 Per Kg Hydrogen, & No One Used Them

Credit to Author: Michael Barnard| Date: Wed, 02 Oct 2024 22:20:42 +0000

A year ago, I was having fun with the Odyssey of the Hydrogen Fleet, a tragicomedy in six parts. One of the many enactments of this tragicomedy had left Act 5, where the hydrogen fleet is permanently parked. The provincial government of Quebec quietly returned roughly 50 fuel cell cars … [continued]

Hydrogen for Energy Serves Fossil Fuel Interests, Not Climate Change or Economy

Credit to Author: Michael Barnard| Date: Wed, 02 Oct 2024 17:13:29 +0000

The long-running seminar series for India’s utility professionals through the India Smart Grid Forum closed with hydrogen. The hype glitter is starting to tarnish, but there is still a lot of substance-less shiny noise around the molecule. To that end, I stepped through the challenges and why hydrogen is virtually … [continued]
