Hydrogen for Germany | Green Mobility | Hydrogen Fuel Cells

Germany and Europe are banking on hydrogen as the fuel of the future. In June 2020, Germany’s parliament approved the government’s National Hydrogen strategy, green lighting 9 Billion Euros to help make hydrogen key sustainable energy but how will this change mobility?

H2 Mobility has been championing hydrogen cars for the last 5 years and this moment was long-awaited a chance for Germany to get back in front. The national hydrogen strategy lays out a plan for Germany to become a world leader in the development and deployment of hydrogen fuel resources. The technology converts liquid hydrogen in a vehicle’s fuel cell into electricity that powers a motor.

Will hydrogen filling stations soon replace the charging stations for battery-powered cars? The biggest advantage is refueling: 500 kilometers of range can be refilled in just 5 minutes at the pump. The average pure electric vehicle would need at least 45 minutes to charge for a similar range. One problem, At the moment, the only hydrogen cars on the German market are made by Toyota and Hyundai.

But the biggest opportunity for hydrogen fuel cells is in long-distance and heavy transport - such as trucks, airplanes, and ships. Few people know the dynamics of the mobility revolution as well as David Wenger. For the last 15 years, his engineering and marketing firm has been helping companies around the world prepare for the challenges ahead

Will hydrogen really change the world completely? Can this fuel of the future take off?

In 2000 they said diesel is the future for cars. In 2010 they said electric vehicles are the future. Now they say hydrogen is.

I think I'll keep driving my gasoline car until they sort their things out...

[seanhardman]

it’s important look at this from a bigger picture. It would be difficult for me to address all that. The worlds largest resource is water mix that with desalination facilities and we have a huge supply of energy. We would be solving two huge problems simultaneously. The need for clean water and energy which is much easier to transport then lithium. Pump the ocean, desalination, channel the water through out the world, sustain agriculture, life, construction and use it for energy through electrolysis. Sunlight, wind, lithium and hydrogen equals sustainability

Hydrogen is the best way to power automobiles of all kinds...the big oil companies are looking to hydrogen as there future business model....it's only a matter of time until the infrastucture is in place as demand increases... Japan and south Korea are going with hydrogen and Australia is gearing up to supply them with all thayll need...I for one will be delaying buying a ev till hydrogen is up and running!!!😎

[sampickett]

The future is both Electric + Hydrogen and the Trucks are arriving. I like the hybrid EV plus Hydrogen range extender so you have the advantages of both in the one vehicle. Look out for Hydrogen race cars in 2023 in Germany.

Hydrogen will never replace batteries, but it could be complementary to batteries for those rare long distance trips and emergency fuel if you don't have a charger close by.

I think that a supercapacitor, battery and hydrogen hybrid would be the best option. The super capacitor charges very quickly and is enough for short trips to the store so the car using it maybe 30-90% of the time depending *very much* on the persons driving needs. Supercapacitor is very efficient for regen-breaking about 95% gets back into storage downhill from going uphill, compared to about 30% for batteries.

The batteries could be smaller and thus much cheaper since the supercapacitor is used for regen and acceleration and therefore spares the battery so it doesn't need to be recharged as much. Thanks to the hydrogen the battery pack doesn't need the the over capacity for those rare long trips, so 150-200 km (about 1, 5 to 2h driving) range would be enough.

The hydrogen would only be for those rare long trips you make a few times a year at most. Even though hydrogen is much more expensive it would still be cheaper since you saved money by having a battery pack that's half the size as a battery only car.

How many european cars companies are partially sold to China? This explains why european car makers are delaying hidrogen. Because China who owns shares in this european auto market knows that will be game over for them. China want us to depend on their batteries. Europe should be smart and go on hydrogen and check the automakers why they delay hydrogen plans? They might find some Chinese interests in this companies.

Wow! Great. Is hydrogen's availability limitless if every firm uses it?#Green mobility # Transport #livetree

[robinhoodstfrancis]

Electric battery tech was left open source by Musk´s Tesla, I recall. As far as that goes, anyway....

[gabedaxe]

Yes Nikola also invented Hydrogen they said last month

[DanielDonatelli]

GERMANY HAS A CHANCE TO MAKE NIKOLA TRUCKS FOR EXPORT

[mconnah]

Nikola... one of the greatest market scams ever told...

[mconnah]

Hydrogen is NOT a fuel. Unless you are in the sun, it is a storage medium. Using electricity to produce hydrogen, then converting back to electricity makes no sense from an efficiency point of view. This means that advances in batteries will eventually make hydrogen obsolete except for some niche cases.

[vig]

Nicola, it's a scam, has been proven hundreds of times that polygraphs go crazy when Trevor Milton speaks

[Boikivs]

Thank you for maybe and could, thank you for not pretending to know 100% future.
Please tell me first how you make hydrogen, its not 100% green energy to start off.

2:48 they a ready but 3:05 we don't have hydrogen infrastructure and then 3:32 Germany is best in hydrogen filling stations (it's hydrogen infrastructure is it?)
You can have one but not both. You have or haven't hydrogen infrastructure? And German car makers just waiting for someone else to develop the infrastructure.
7:47 OK trevor milton, ok nikola motors. STOP. its 26.02.2021 and we have Hindenburg Research report in our hands XD
9:42 XD and hello again from future XD: nikola's hydrogen pickup-truck production canceled after General Motors is leav XD

[mconnah]

Governments will be able to tax hydrogen as they do gasoline. This is not the case with electricity as you can make your own.

[tedyuan]

Electric Vehicle is bad for the environment. Hydrogen production results less pollution comparing to mining, extracting lithium and making battery.

[rajeebbarma]

Electrification is the future, yes 100%. But Hydrogen is not the ultimate holder of the flag. In this century of electrification, we will see many in the race. The one in the end will be definitely connected to our very own gravitational forces which needs to be properly understood first. All the moving parts in our lives can take the advantage and will be well connected to the multiple gravitational forces around us. (Hint: Think, Xylem)

Anybody interested in this topic. Let's start slow :)

[rishi]

TDKS will be join a competition soon.... which is now in between Nikola &

[burnttoast]

Hydrogen sounds a lot like what happened to ethanol until they realized its notas efficient as BEV
