Gray Hydrogen, High Costs, and the Real Emissions of SunLine’s Fuel Cell Fleet
SunLine Transit Agency, which provides transportation for the large western California county that includes Palm Springs and Coachella, has spent a quarter century doing more than almost any transit agency in North America to try to make hydrogen buses work. It started hydrogen production and dispensing around 2000, has cycled … [continued]

War’s Long Lines, Hunger, and Health Crises
When we think of the US war against Iran, US gas price increases immediately come to mind. As we gather more information about the war, we start to consider inter-nation tensions. We recognize how oil infrastructure is actively weaponized, how fires generate emissions, and how our already fragile planet is … [continued]

Ballard’s 500 Fuel Cell Deal Meets A Hydrogen Bus Market That Never Arrived
Ballard Power and New Flyer announced what sounds at first like a market-making agreement, a commercial arrangement for 500 fuel cell engines, or about 50 MW of modules, for hydrogen transit buses starting in 2026. On the surface, that reads like the kind of order that only appears when a … [continued]

Be Careful What You Wish For: Alberta’s Gas Price Shift
Alberta has spent years arguing that natural gas was undervalued because it was trapped in a basin with too few outlets. That argument was always partly right. The Alberta Energy Regulator says the average AECO-C price was only $1.45/GJ in 2024, down 47% from 2023’s global European Energy crisis prices, … [continued]

Hydrogen at Sea Just Got Even More Expensive: What DNV’s Safety Findings Mean
The final DNV study for the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) matters because it changes the hydrogen shipping debate from an argument about theoretical decarbonization potential into an argument about engineering burden and cost. DNV is not saying hydrogen-fuelled ships are impossible. It is saying that hydrogen requires a design-based … [continued]
