BYD e-MPV to Launch at the Manila International Auto Show This Month
On April 10, BYD Philippines will officially launch the eMAX 7, an all-electric multi-purpose vehicle (MPV). The Philippines is predominantly an MPV market, as evidenced by the top selling vehicle, the Toyota Innova, a seven-seater with a diesel burner. Finding a space in that crowded but lucrative market may change … [continued]

Debunking The Myth: Hydrogen Will Not Dominate The Transportation Sector
The belief that hydrogen will dominate the transportation sector is rooted in optimism rather than evidence. It appeals to the imagination but collapses under scrutiny. In practice, hydrogen is being decisively outpaced by two more efficient and cost-effective alternatives: battery electric vehicles and advanced biofuels. The appeal of hydrogen may … [continued]

Debunking The Myth: Hydrogen Is Not A Good Energy Carrier For Heating Buildings
The notion that hydrogen will replace natural gas for residential and commercial heating has been promoted heavily by segments of the gas industry. Yet the weight of independent, peer-reviewed research points in the opposite direction. Hydrogen, while technically combustible and capable of generating heat, is simply not a practical or … [continued]

Debunking The Myth: Hydrogen’s High Energy Density By Mass Is Trumped By Low Density By Volume
Hydrogen is often cited for its high energy density by mass — approximately 120 MJ/kg — making it appear to be an ideal energy carrier. However, this figure is frequently misunderstood or presented out of context, leading to misleading conclusions about hydrogen’s suitability for real-world energy storage and transportation. The … [continued]
