Hydrogen’s Seven Missing Pieces
I wrote another technoeconomic assessment of why hydrogen will not be cheap, and the reaction from hydrogen advocates was familiar. They focused on small pieces of the analysis and treated each point as if it existed in isolation. That pattern confirmed something important. The debate is not about one technology … [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]

Why Hydrogen Isn’t Cutting Costs Like Solar or Batteries
After publishing the summary of the study that assessed 2,000 hydrogen projects worldwide, one finding stood out. Across the total spectrum of use cases, electrification provided roughly 80% better emissions reductions than hydrogen. The data also showed that the overall climate benefit of hydrogen, once all losses and logistics were … [continued]

When Hydrogen Maintenance Meets Meltdown: Inside Plug Power’s Desperation Phase
Plug Power’s announcement that it is suspending work on its Department of Energy–backed green hydrogen projects marks a sobering turning point. Most companies would fight to secure a $1.66 billion loan guarantee from the federal government. Plug Power is walking away from it. That decision, combined with yet another round … [continued]

Hydrogen, Measured Properly: What 2,000 Projects Reveal About Its Climate Value
A major study in Nature Energy, “Global greenhouse gas emissions mitigation potential of existing and planned hydrogen projects” by Terlouw et al, has done something rare in the hydrogen hype bubble that’s slowly deflating. It has gathered thousands of real hydrogen projects around the world, run full life-cycle assessments on … [continued]
