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]

CATL Makes Big Announcement on Sodium Batteries for 2026
Sodium-ion battery development has been a major story in 2025, as Chris Arcus has been especially eager to highlight and explain. In 2026, I think it could be the biggest battery topic. Battery giant CATL, the largest battery producer in the world, is leaning into the topic and made a … [continued]

Hydrogen for Transportation Didn’t Fail Just Once in 2025. It Failed Everywhere.
This year marked the point where hydrogen transportation stopped being a future tense conversation and became an accounting exercise. Across light duty vehicles, buses, trucks, trains, mining equipment, refueling infrastructure, and even aviation, withdrawals outpaced commitments. These were not isolated pilots failing at the margins. They were coordinated retreats spread … [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]

From HyHaul To China: Why Hydrogen Transport Keeps Losing
HyHaul was supposed to be a proof point. It was framed as the UK’s first serious hydrogen freight corridor, backed by public money, supported by major industrial partners, and aligned with national decarbonization narratives. It had all the visible ingredients of credibility: government grants, memoranda of understanding, press releases, and … [continued]
