Nikola says it is working with a third-party provider to develop a network of 50 hydrogen fueling stations across the U.S. over the next five years.
Hydrogen Fuel Is Gaining Traction With Truckers
Paul Berger | Wall Street Journal | Nov. 15, 2023
Jim Gillis is making a big bet on hydrogen-powered big rigs.
Gillis, president of the Pacific region for Collierville, Tenn.-based IMC, will take delivery in the coming weeks of his first hydrogen electric fuel-cell Nikola trucks long before the technology is proven and a refueling network is set up...
...Hydrogen-powered trucks are only just starting to trickle into California and hydrogen-fueling stations are years behind their battery-electric peers. “We’re still in kind of this beta-testing mode,” said Matt Schrap, chief executive of the Harbor Trucking Association. “Outside of Nikola, you’re just not seeing large commercial development in North America.”
Truckers say battery-electric trucks are good for short trips ferrying shipping containers between ports, rail yards and warehouses. But they are finding the trucks less useful for longer trips of 100 miles or more because of the limited range of batteries and the hours it takes to recharge...more

Treasury delay threatens U.S. hydrogen advantage as China leapfrogs ahead
American producers should not have to compete with their hands tied behind their backs
Benton Arnett and Michael Purdie | November 13, 2023
OPINION:
The global race to produce clean-burning hydrogen fuel is on, and according to a new International Energy Agency report, China is winning. That’s a surprising development, given the hundreds of billions devoted by the Biden administration to encourage U.S. production, including $7 billion just announced by the president for regional hydrogen hubs.
When first passed by Congress as part of the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, this unprecedented level of federal spending seemed to secure America’s competitive advantage — especially when combined with the clean hydrogen production tax credit included in the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act.
Known as 45V, this tax credit covers about 60% of the total cost for any domestic hydrogen producer that meets certain low-emissions standards. That tax credit initiated a tidal wave of planned investment and created envy in other countries.
“We like the IRA,” affirmed Sanjiv Lamba, CEO of the multinational hydrogen producer Linde, shortly after the law’s passage. “It is simpler and easier to understand than the [European Union’s] lengthy policy statements.”...more

In Bremerhaven, Germany, research is being conducted into hydrogen technologies for a sustainable energy transition
Hydrogen systems are more advantegeous than battery storage: Study presents the potential in mobility and logistics
(translated by Nicole Dominikowski) | 11/04/2023
Hydrogen technology will play a crucial role in a climate-friendly energy supply in the future. It has potential as an alternative in transport and logistics and in the development of e-fuels. Thus, hydrogen could provide a basis for advancing energy transition. This 20-million-euro funded research programme aims to explore the potential and limitations of this technology.
For a successful transition to sustainable energy, Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences researchers have spent two years exploring hydrogen technologies as an alternative to fossil fuels. As reducing CO₂ emissions is crucial to meet climate protection targets, the hydrogen economy may play a significant part in achieving a greener energy supply.
The technical feasibility of employing hydrogen as a molecular energy storage medium is ideal for decentralized production, storage, and usage. Nonetheless, its marketability and competitiveness require further testing, as well as establishing an infrastructure for this energy source. The "Hydrogen - green gas for Bremerhaven" project, financed by the ERDF, is examining possible applications for energy supply, vehicle propulsion, logistics usage (such as forklift trucks), and e-fuel experiments.
Even a hydrogen oven has been developed. The "Microgrids - self-sufficient units" study explored the possibility of powering an entire industrial area solely with renewable energy. The "IWAS - Lune Delta" project is examining the economic viability of adopting hydrogen as an alternative for industrial corporations...more

H2B2 Electrolysis Technologies, Inc. (H2B2), a global vertically integrated provider of green hydrogen energy solutions across the hydrogen value chain, today unveils SoHyCal - the largest operational green hydrogen production plant powered entirely by renewable energy in North America to date.
This pioneering project, from both a technical and commercial point of view, consists of the construction, financing, and operation of a 100% renewable hydrogen production plant with PEM technology, with a nameplate capacity of up to three tons per day, using renewable energy from a photovoltaic plant.
“In the quest for a greener energy transition, SoHyCal represents a cornerstone in California's commitment to developing and promoting clean and sustainable hydrogen fuel technologies. The project is poised to significantly contribute to the surging demand for hydrogen, particularly for transportation applications, the reduction of emissions, and the decarbonization in mobility," said Pedro Pajares, CEO of H2B2 USA.
SoHyCal Production and Scale
SoHyCal is fully operational in its first phase, harnessing the power of renewable energy and cutting-edge electrolysis technology, producing up to one ton per day of green hydrogen powered by biogas. It will transition into solar energy in phase two, expected to produce a total of three tons per day of green hydrogen powered by PV by Q2 of 2024. This amount of hydrogen will fuel up to 210,000 cars per year or 30,000 city buses. ..more
