Hydrogen Can’t Cut The Mustard, Even In Dijon
Dijon is a useful hydrogen transportation case study because it was serious, early, and well funded. This was not a symbolic pilot. The city committed real capital, built infrastructure, signed supply agreements, and intended to operate hydrogen vehicles at scale across buses, refuse trucks, and light municipal fleets. The intention … [continued]

How Polish Cities Are Wasting EU Funds on Hydrogen Buses — Ignoring Energy Efficiency First
My comparative review of eight Polish municipal projects purchasing hydrogen buses under the EU-funded Green Public Transport program reveals a systemic failure to apply the Energy Efficiency First (EE1st) principle. Seven out of eight cities skipped any energy or cost-efficiency comparison with battery-electric buses (BEVs), even though EU law explicitly … [continued]

A Continent Steps Away From Hydrogen Transport. Spain Doubles Down.
The European Commission’s latest funding decision for alternative fuels infrastructure landed with a strange twist. On paper, the bloc approved support for 38 new hydrogen refueling stations spread across the continent. In practice, almost all of them are going to a single country. Spain secured roughly four out of five … [continued]

Horizon’s Hydrogen Dreams and the Leadership Keeping It From Reality
Hyzon became a recognizable failure in the hydrogen for energy world, but its parent company, Horizon Fuel Cell, attracted much less attention. Hyzon’s collapse was visible because it entered public markets through a SPAC, made aggressive commercial claims, and then ran into regulatory, financial, and operational problems. Behind that story … [continued]
