Hydrogen vs Batteries on Norway’s Lofoten Route: An Engineering Reality Check
The recent investigative reporting by Swedish Television and Norway’s NRK into the fuel cell supplier PowerCell has opened a window into the Vestfjord Lofoten hydrogen ferry project that Norway has been building toward for years. The journalists focused on a specific claim about durability. Internal tests suggested that the fuel … [continued]

Germany’s Hydrogen Refueling Network Looks Impressive Until You Do The Math
Someone recently pointed me at a chart published by H2 Mobility that shows hydrogen dispensed per month across its German refueling network climbing steadily over time. The chart is visually persuasive. The blue area rises from near zero in 2017 to roughly 59 tons per month in early 2026. It … [continued]

When 70% Of Stations Go Dark: The Fragility Of California’s Hydrogen System
The recent pressurized hydrogen tanker truck explosion in Colton, California, is first and foremost a human tragedy. One worker lost his life and another was seriously injured. Their families, friends, and co workers are living with the consequences, and that matters more than any infrastructure debate. Hydrogen systems operate at … [continued]

From Subsidies to Scrap: The Real Story of Hydrogen Vehicle Fleets
Aberdeen’s hydrogen double decker buses are being withdrawn, and a German municipality was left with seven hydrogen garbage trucks that could not refuel. Paris saw Hype’s hydrogen taxi fleet collapse after years of public claims about scale. Liverpool is trying to convert its abandoned hydrogen bus fleet. More hydrogen fleets … [continued]

Düren’s Hydrogen Bet: The Math Behind a Looming Liability
Doing the math on Aberdeen’s abandonment of hydrogen buses led to a question from someone living in Düren, Germany about their hydrogen program. On the surface the situations look different. Aberdeen was a city trying to build a hydrogen ecosystem largely on its own. Düren, a district of about 270,000 … [continued]
