Hydrogen Transportation After HVS: Narrow Niches, Big Subsidies, Long Pilots

14 min read

HVS was not a fringe hydrogen truck company with a sketch and a slogan. It had a serious ambition, a real engineering team, public support, private funding, partnerships, prototypes, and a target market that sounded plausible enough: zero-emission heavy-duty freight. Hydrogen Vehicle Systems wanted to build fuel-cell trucks for a … [continued]

Germany’s Hydrogen Refueling Network Looks Impressive Until You Do The Math

11 min read

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]

Why Small Hydrogen Markets Are Likely to Shrink

15 min read

Someone recently asked me about small, distributed hydrogen use cases and whether those markets might eventually be served by imported green methanol cracked onsite to produce hydrogen. The idea is not irrational. Hydrogen is difficult to transport and store. Methanol is a liquid fuel with existing global shipping infrastructure. Catalytic … [continued]

The System Case Against Hydrogen for Grid Storage

15 min read

Every time hydrogen is critiqued as an energy carrier for the power sector, the same question reappears. If not hydrogen, where does long duration storage come from? I received it related to my recent critique of Germany’s attempt to force the EU to double green hydrogen and synthetic fuel quotes … [continued]
