Hydrogen Cars, Vehicles and Infrastructure
Offers insights and information on developing hydrogen highway systems around the world.
At the National Hydrogen Association (NHA) Conference and Expo in Long Beach, California this week, I had the pleasure of meeting Robert Friedland, President and CEO of Proton Energy, Michael Grey, President of SunHydro and Tom Sullivan, founder and chairman of both Proton Energy and SunHydro. Now, in January 2010, I had already talked about […]
Continue ReadingIn January 2010, I had first talked about the East Coast Hydrogen Highway system being developed by SunHydro. The New York Times has now added a few details about the plan including the company’s founder and how the plan is to be financed. In my last blog post, I roughly calculated the farthest distance between […]
Continue ReadingI’ve previously talked about the Scottish Hydrogen Highway and the South Wales Hydrogen Highway in development. I’ve also talked about how hydrogen powered taxis are coming to London for the 2012 Olympics. And now, I would like to talk about London’s Hydrogen Highway system that is being built not only to support the black taxis […]
Continue ReadingOn the west of the United Kingdom fuel cell vehicles may one day travel down the M4 Hydrogen Highway. This will be part of a larger renewable fueling infrastructure that is being built for alternative fuel cars in the area. Wales has been designated a Low Carbon Economic Area (LCEA) for hydrogen fuel. The ministers […]
Continue ReadingTwo weeks ago Proton Energy Systems and SunHydro announced plans to build a public hydrogen fueling station in Wallingford, Connecticut. This week SunHydro announced the plans to build an East Coast Hydrogen Highway system. Presumably this would exclude other companies that build hydrogen fueling stations since 4 operational hydrogen fueling stations in New York, and […]
Continue ReadingThere have been so many openings of hydrogen fueling stations in the past few years that now days I hardly take notice of another opening. But, the opening of the H2 fueling station in Copenhagen, Denmark has caught my attention and I’ll tell you why. Yesterday, Copenhagen opened its first hydrogen filling station, which gives […]
Continue ReadingJapan’s automakers and gas companies have decided to go gung-ho in creating a hydrogen car and highway system in the small country by 2015. What is getting in the way, now, however is the Japanese government. Back in August 2009 I had talked about how a consortium of Japanese hydrogen gas companies had decided to […]
Continue ReadingThe hyrail project is a BIG IDEA that I’ve talked about before in March 2009. Justin Sutton with Interstate Traveler has come up with a grand idea for a disruptive maglev light rail system that is powered by solar and hydrogen that will change the way people travel forever. This 200 mph Hyrail Hydrogen Superhighway […]
Continue ReadingEight major companies including Linde, Daimler, EnBW, NOW, OMV, Shell, Total and Vattenfall have signed a memorandum of understanding in Berlin for the proliferation of hydrogen fueling stations in Germany as part of the H2 Mobility program with the goal of serial production of hydrogen cars by 2015. Right now, Germany has 30 hydrogen fueling […]
Continue ReadingOn August 24, 2009 I had talked about how London’s Major Boris Johnson had reversed his decision about bringing hydrogen cars to the foggy UK metropolis and has now decided to assemble 150 H2 vehicles and 6 refueling stations in time for the 2012 Olympics. Now, northwards of London in Scotland’s Aberdeen area is the new […]
