From Riverboats To Global Ports: CATL Is Winning The Shipping Electrification Race
CATL’s batteries and energy management systems are already operating in roughly 900 ships and vessels, a figure that on its own should reframe how maritime decarbonization is discussed. Shipping is conservative for structural reasons tied to safety, long asset lifetimes, and unforgiving certification regimes, so deployment at this scale signals … [continued]

Hydrogen Forklifts Are A Rounding Error, Not A Rebuttal
Someone responded to a just-published article about yet another hydrogen fleet failure by pointing to hydrogen fuel cell forklifts in US distribution centers. The implication was clear. If hydrogen works in forklifts, then the broader critique of hydrogen transport must be flawed. It is a familiar move. It is also … [continued]
