Hydrogen in the transport sector
Hydrogen cars vs. battery cars
- Faster-fueling, much higher-performance vehicle long-term
- Fueling up with H2 àsimilar to filling up with gasoline (H2 combusts with one-tenth the energy required for gasoline)
- Challenge à infrastructure: thousands of electric-vehicle charging stations
- Toyota, Hyundai, and Honda coming out with hydrogen vehicles
Criticism
- Time frame for overcoming the technical and economic challenges for wide-scale use of hydrogen cars is likely to last for several decades”
- “Hydrogen car is a detour from more readily available solutions”
- "A hydrogen car is one of the least efficient, most expensive ways to reduce greenhouse gases."
