Hydrogen Learning Curves Are Counting The Wrong Doublings
Hydrogen cost forecasts often borrow one of the clean-energy transition’s most useful empirical tools: the experience curve. If a technology has historically fallen by a given percentage in cost every time cumulative deployment doubles, analysts can estimate how many doublings lie ahead and compound the learning rate into a future … [continued]

Hydrogen Kept Failing The Test — And Getting Another Test
In 2023, a senior executive responsible for decarbonizing a major transportation company asked me, with some exasperation, what drove the “madness on hydrogen.” Hydrogen proposals kept arriving for applications where the energy balance and economics looked dreadful. That conversation became What Drives This Madness On Hydrogen?, an attempt to explain … [continued]

A Hydrogen Generator Charged An Electric Ship. Why Was Hydrogen There?
At the Port of Tilbury on the Thames, GeoPura recently put one of its hydrogen power units on a floating platform and used it to charge a commercial electric vessel. The system delivered 300 kW through five Ballard fuel cells. It was visually irresistible: a barge, hydrogen equipment, a working … [continued]

Europe’s Banks Are Treating Hydrogen As A Niche, Not An Economy
The Port of Antwerp-Bruges now has what its developer calls a commercial-scale AEM electrolyzer. Power to Hydrogen’s half-megawatt system is intended to make high-purity hydrogen for real users in a real industrial setting, and that is a legitimate engineering milestone. Moving anion-exchange-membrane electrolysis out of smaller stacks and into industrial … [continued]
