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]
