WELCOME
‘It’s no stretch to see a future where battery and fuel cell models both have their place’ Common opinion now has it that hydrogen fuel cell cars are a dead end. Yes, they emit nothing but water vapour, but battery-electric models are more efficient, because you don’t have to expend energy producing a fuel, then freight it to filling stations, only to turn it back into electricity again. And besides, power sockets are everywhere, whereas hydrogen filling stations are not. But things might not be so clear cut. There’s currently no realistic carbon-free alternative to hydrogen when it comes to planes, shipping and even long-distance lorries. And once you’ve created a structure to support these, adding filling stations for cars becomes a whole lot easier. Factor in that you can refuel a hydrogen…
