With new hydrogen FCEV's coming to market soon, the question of whether hydrogen vehicles will revolutionise electric mobility is top of mind for many EV drivers who have already chosen the battery electric route. Rusty and Nadine explore both sides of the coin, discovering that there isn't a simple answer. To test the Hydrogen vs. Battery argument, they speak with David Dorall, CEO of electric aviation company Dovetail, which is pushing both technologies to new heights. Dorall discusses his company's technology, the current capabilities of batteries in an aviation setting, and how hydrogen fuel cells may come into play. Adjunct Professor Gail Broadbent from UTS then delves deeper into hydrogen fuel cells and the economics of hydrogen production. While it seems hydrogen is best suited to heavy vehicles and mass transport in the short term, Rusty and Nadine remain curious. They take a virtual drive in the Toyota Mirai to experience firsthand how a FCEV looks, feels, and drives.   To watch the carsales review on the Toyota Mirai, head to the carsales youtube channel here.  To read more about the Mirai's 1360km run, click here.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's Tuesday and the Auto Industry is alive and well as we talk about the DOE final rules on EV requirements that are a win for OEMs. We also talk about the pending UAW vote at VWs Chattanooga plant as well as the legendary metal band, Metallica, going an an EV/hydrogen powered tour. The finalized U.S. EV mileage ratings rule brings relief to automakers, reducing the risk of heavy fines and easing the transition to electric vehicles, a significant shift from the Department of Energy's initial proposal.The Department of Energy's final rule softens its initial proposal, lowering the compliance value of EVs by 65% through 2030, allowing automakers more time to adjust.Detroit 3 and the UAW voiced concerns that the original proposal could lead to $10.5 billion in fines through 2032 for failing to meet fuel economy requirements.The revision was influenced by automaker and UAW feedback, aiming to balance environmental goals with industry realities.The EPA's upcoming vehicle greenhouse gas emissions requirements are also set to be less stringent than proposed, promoting a gradual increase in EV production.This ruling is also seen to be a boost to hybrid and PHEV salesWorkers at Volkswagen's Chattanooga plant are pushing to join the UAW, marking a pivotal moment in the union's efforts to expand its influence across foreign-owned automakers in the South.Volkswagen Chattanooga employees have filed for a union election with the NLRB, demonstrating a "supermajority" interest in joining the UAW. This is the third attempt in 10 years to unionize the plant, with the last narrowly failingA successful vote at VW would be a landmark victory as  the  UAW's persistent efforts to unionize foreign auto plants in the South have faced significant political and legislative challenges over the years.VW has committed to supporting an NLRB-administered secret ballot, ensuring every employee's voice is heard, with the election timeline to be set by the NLRB.President Biden and presumptive Republican rival Donald Trump are keenly watching the UAW's moves, with Biden expressing support for the workers' right to unionize, reflecting the national political significance of the union's campaign."The decision whether to join a union belongs to the workers," stated President Joe Biden, endorsing the workers' efforts and the importance of union representation.Heavy Metal band Metallica is teaming up with heavy truck maker Iveco to embark on a world tour using electric and hydrogen fuel-cell big rigs to haul their equipment across EuropeFor the European leg of their M72 World Tour, Metallica is using a fleet of Iveco's battery-electric and hydrogen fuel-cell trucks, demonstrating their dedication to cutting carbon emissions.The band is an early adopter and high-profile proponent of eco-friendly touring practices by choosing the latest in FCEV technology for their gear transportation.Metallica is also employing Iveco EV minibuses for concert shuttles, further reducing the carbon footprint of their tour.Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

Anglo American Platinum, BMW Group South Africa (BMW SA) and Sasol have partnered to prove that a hydrogen mobility ecosystem can operate successfully within South Africa. The three companies on Monday inked an agreement at the 2023 South African Green Hydrogen Summit in Cape Town that will bring hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) and supporting hydrogen refuelling technology to South Africa. In terms of the agreement, BMW will provide the FCEVs - a fleet of BMW iX5 Hydrogen cars set to arrive next year - while Sasol will supply the green hydrogen and mobile refueler. The mobile refueler will transport green hydrogen - hydrogen produced from renewable sources - from the Sasol industrial complex to BMW's facilities in Gauteng where the vehicles will be refuelled. With Anglo American Platinum's platinum group metals (PGMs) already present in the vehicles' fuel-cell systems, the mining group would provide funding towards the project, said CEO Craig Miller, as part of its effort to drive the global market uptake of PGMs. Miller noted that PGMs demand would increase by five-million ounces a year if FCEVs capture 10% of the global new-vehicle market, at 100 000 units a year. BMW SA CEO Peter van Binsbergen explained that the iX5 Hydrogen refuels in three to four minutes, providing 500 km range on its 6 kg tank. "FCEVs benefit from short refuelling times and long ranges, similar to using a diesel or petrol vehicle, but with the added benefit of zero emissions," said Miller. While the battery electric vehicle (BEV), with its generally shorter range, may currently be winning the new-energy-vehicle race, as it was cheaper than a FCEV, Van Binsbergen expected the price gap to start closing significantly by the end of the decade. FCEVs also required less critical minerals than BEVs, he said, "and I'd rather support the PGMs industry in South Africa". China has, to date, secured a significant chunk of the global BEV battery value-chain. Sasol Energy Business executive VP Priscillah Mabelane said Sasol was currently producing 150 kg of green hydrogen a day, but that this could soon go to 3 t or 4 t a day as the energy group expanded its renewable energy production. She said Sasol was targeting the electric mobility; chemicals; steel and sustainable fuels sectors with its production of green hydrogen. "We produced our first batch of green hydrogen at our Sasolburg facility in June, and in 2024 we will ramp this up to commercial scale when a 69 MW wind farm, situated in the Eastern Cape, comes online." When asked at what point South Africans could expect to see the first FCEV sold in the domestic market, Van Binsbergen referenced the development timeline for BEVs, noting that the first BMW i3 was on the market in 2013, with BEVs now in production and readily available all over the world. "As a versatile energy source, hydrogen has a key role to play on the road to climate neutrality," he added. "We believe South Africa - with its abundance of raw materials and sound infrastructure base - is ideally placed to deliver on the green hydrogen economy's promises."

Manch einer, der sich für ein E-Auto entschieden hat, mag aufgrund der gestiegenen Stromkosten nochmal neu denken. Vielleicht doch lieber ein letzter Verbrenner? Oder ein Hybrider, dann kann man Strom und Benzin tanken, was gerade billiger ist. Im Podcast c't uplink diskutieren wir die Vor- und Nachteile der Fahrzeugtypen und erklären, welche verschiedenen Konzepte es bei Hybrid-Fahrzeugen gibt. Wir greifen damit die Titelgeschichte von c't 8/2023 auf. Vier Arten von Hybrid-Kfz gibt es aus technischer Sicht. Wir erklären, warum nur zwei davon als E-Auto-Alternative taugen: Vollhybride und Plug-in-Hybride. Dabei dröseln wir auch Begriffe wie Range-Extender, sequenzielle und parallele Antriebe auf. Mehrere Szenarien gehen wir durch sowie praktische und finanzielle Vor- und Nachteile gegenüber E-Autos und Verbrennern. Die Verbrauchswerte vieler Plug-in-Hybride entpuppen sich dabei als lächerlich niedrig. Wir erklären den Skandal dahinter und wie die Fahrzeughersteller sich so ihre Flottenverbrauchswerte greenwashen. Die Regulierer arbeiten an einer Verbesserung -- und wir überlegen, ob danach den Käufern der Plug-in-Hybriden eine ähnliche Falle droht wie im Dieselskandal. Schließlich diskutieren wir, welche Probleme und Nachteile der E-Autos die Hybriden überhaupt lösen, gerade mit Blick auf den Strompreis. Vielleicht ist ein E-Auto doch die bessere Wahl -- oder auch ein letzter Verbrenner oder vielleicht ein Gebrauchter. Oder man bleibt noch eine Weile bei dem Auto, das man gerade hat. Auch über E-Fuels denken wir dabei nach, wo sie vielleicht helfen und warum sie für den Individualverkehr oder gar das nächste Auto keine Lösung sind. ***SPONSOR-HINWEIS*** Diese Ausgabe des c't Uplink ist gesponsert von der HUK-COBURG.

Tesla is experiencing some serious issues with customer service. Also, there's more car companies coming for your data. Honda is working on a new Hydrogen Fuel Cell for one of their popular models and a Supercar company may have the answer to FCEV's. Production and Music: Mike Muscarella

Compared to Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV), Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV) has lagged behind during the electrification of road transport sector across the world in the past ten years. Under the new context related to technological competition among economic powers, energy crisis enhanced by the Russia-Ukraine war in Europe, the global supply chain security of critical materials in BEV manufacturing, as well as the greater role of hydrogen in energy transition, it's worthy of re-evaluating the potential of FCEV in accelerating the decarbonization of the transport sector. Professor Gregory Trencher from Kyoto University in Japan shares his research insights on these relevant issues in this episode of Energy Current. 

South Africa's State-owned Public Investment Corporation (PIC) stated on Monday that more than R4.3-trillion is required for the development of the hydrogen economy, which it declared positive for people, planet, and client portfolios. The hydrogen investment strategy of the PIC, which has R2.339-trillion worth of assets under management, is aimed at unlocking value. This it will seek to do through: the funding and provision of early-stage capital for the development of the hydrogen value chain; and leveraging off more than 200 hydrogen projects that have been announced worldwide. Hydrogen promises to be the next frontier in clean energy technology due to its extensive value chain applications, the PIC states in a media release to Engineering News & Mining Weekly. Hydrogen, Africa's biggest financier added, can be used to industrialise and create a resultant hydrogen economy, along with job generation, localised manufacturing and turning this country into one of the world's largest exporters of green hydrogen. Through its Hydrogen Society Roadmap, South Africa has already identified hydrogen as an investment avenue, amid this country's high solar radiation levels and large coastline area that offers prime wind energy potential. Hydrogen is able to augment that renewable energy production by offering a relatively affordable way to store and transport the excess energy produced from these sources. In addition, a well-developed hydrogen sector will boost demand for platinum group metals (PGMs), which are hosted overwhelmingly by South Africa. PGMs are used in electrolysers to separate water into green hydrogen and oxygen, and in fuel cells to generate emission-free electricity from the hydrogen, with both playing key decarbonisation roles. Hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) fleets are on the rise worldwide, with China alone targeting cumulative sales of one-million FCEVs by 2035. PGMs, which have unique catalytic properties, are used in proton exchange membrane (PEM) technologies and momentum behind PEM investment is building up, the World Platinum Investment Council has reported. PIC's adoption of its hydrogen strategy comes at a time when several countries around the world have already taken steps use hydrogen as a clean energy source. Moreover, South Africa's hydrogen roadmap identifies PIC as a potential co-investor in hydrogen projects, along with other finance institutions. The recently released Just Energy Transition Investment Plan, or JET-IP, points to an investment requirement of R1.5-trillion over the coming five years to support a shift from coal to renewables in the electricity sector, as well as to facilitate electric vehicle manufacturing and green hydrogen production. To realise the green hydrogen ambitions outlined in the JET-IP, the Mapungubwe Institute for Strategic Reflection has highlighted the need for South Africa to build mineral beneficiation value chains to meet the requirements of the hydrogen economy.

The location was the Port of Los Angeles,  and the key players were Toyota, truck maker Kenworth and  global oil company Shell.  Funded by a $41 Million grant from the California Air Resources Board, the Zero- and Near-Zero Emissions Freight Facilities "Shore to Store" project  (ZANZEFF), employed ten specially equipped Kenworth T680 FCEV trucks. 

Hoy en MOTORK vamos a hacer una reflexión sobre qué tipos de energías para el transporte serán las predominantes en un futuro no muy próximo. Dada la situación actual de crisis energética que estamos viviendo en todo el planeta, es un momento en el que hay que parar a pensar qué hemos hecho mal hasta ahora y cuál es la solución más sostenible a largo plazo. Últimamente se habla mucho sobre si el motor de combustión de Hidrógeno (H2) será el futuro. Pues bien desde MOTORK, que fomentamos una movilidad eléctrica y sostenible, vamos a explicar los motivos por los cuales el motor de pila de combustible de hidrógeno FCEV, sí será el futuro y porqueé el motor de combustión de Hidrógeno (H2) no lo es.

The future quantum of global demand for platinum group metals (PGMs) significantly outweighs global supply from 2023 onwards, the latest review carried out by independent precious metals consultant Dr David Davis indicates. Compiled for Auctus Metal Portfolios of Singapore, the review illustrates a comprehensive picture of platinum supply/demand estimates between 2022 and 2050, which in some respects “puts the cat among the pigeons”, says Davis, who has been associated with the South African mining industry and mining investment industry for the past 45 years. (Also see attached supply/demand graphic.) The review points to a decline in global PGMs supply from particularly South Africa and Russia and highlights the mismatch that is developing between the future quantum of platinum supply and demand amid the pursuit of decarbonisation on a global scale. South African platinum mine supply is calculated to be declining at a compound annual growth rate of about -1.4% over the long term and Davis's view is that the projected decline in global platinum mine supply is not being given the attention it deserves. MAJOR IRIDIUM THRIFTING NEEDED Davis concurs with the International Energy Agency that the content of the PGMs metal iridium will need to be slashed by 80% to 90% to support proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysers used to produce green hydrogen, which is in growing demand. In addition, technology will need to be advanced to achieve an anode catalyst loading of 0.05 gIr/kW or lower. PEM water electrolyser recycling and iridium recovery infrastructure will also need to achieve end-of-life recycling rates of 90%. To meet the needs of the transition from internal combustion engines, platinum loading in fuel cells (FCs) will also have to be drastically reduced for fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), let alone trains, ships, stationary applications, PEM electrolysers and other uses. Additional thrifting of FC platinum loading to 2gPt/kW and below is required. GREEN HYDROGEN PILLAR Davis notes in the release to Mining Weekly that green hydrogen has become a key pillar of decarbonisation for industry in the same way as platinum is inextricably linked to vehicle emission standards, which have been progressively tightened through regulation worldwide since 1970. Europe is boosting its green hydrogen ambitions as it looks to secure energy independence and has increased targets for production and imports of green hydrogen by 15-million tonnes a year. A Siemens illustration displayed shows 20 collective applications for green hydrogen in the chemical and electrical industries ranging from steel, food, green fertilisers to heat pumps, planes and ships. “It becomes obvious that global PGM mine supply, particularly platinum mine and secondary recycling supply, will not be able to support both substitution and additional platinum loadings, notwithstanding the additional platinum required for FC, FCEV, PEM electrolysers, green hydrogen and other transport and industry sectors,” says Davis, who adds that China's continuous platinum buying will further contribute to upward price pressure as platinum supply dwindles. PGMS CENTRE LAUNCHED IN SHANGHAI As reported this week by Mining Weekly, a new trade and technology centre dedicated to the growth of the PGMs market is being established in China, already the single largest consumer of PGMs, accounting for more than 25% of total demand. Anglo American, Honeywell and the World Platinum Investment Council (WPIC) were among close to 70 organisations that signed strategic cooperation agreements with the Lin-Gang Group and other related parties in support of the Platinum and Precious Metals Centre, or PPMC, which is being established in the Lin-Gang Special Area of Shanghai. The Lin-Gang Group is a State-owned developer of industrial parks. PPMC is made up of a PGMs research institute, venture capital fund, industrial park and offshore trading market, which will be developed in sequence to su...

What will be Australia's biggest electrolyser – a platinum-using proton exchange membrane, or PEM, electrolyser – is on order to provide green hydrogen Down Under at a time when the planet's lightest molecule is being highlighted as the ‘slam dunk' of heavy-haul transport in a decarbonising world. Viva Energy Australia has ordered the PEM water electrolyser from Nel Hydrogen US. When installed, it will provide green hydrogen to a fleet of heavy-duty fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), which also use platinum group metals (PGMs) to catalyse the conversion of hydrogen into electricity for vehicle mobility and, if needed, also stationary power. With a contract value of about €4-million, the PEM electrolyser system is expected to be delivered in the third quarter of 2023, Nel stated in a media release to Mining Weekly. Viva Energy Australia, an ASX-listed company, owns the Geelong refinery and supplies a service station network of around 1 350 Shell and Liberty service stations across Australia, where the Australian Renewables Energy Agency is funding a 300 MWh grid-forming battery in south-west New South Wales. Interestingly, a new heavy transport transition report published by Rethink Energy names hydrogen as the ‘slam dunk' of heavy-duty long-distance FCEV trucking, ship transport and air travel News also just out is that the newly established company Innoplate is expected to accelerate the production of bipolar plates for the PEM fuel cell market. Meanwhile, British Petroleum company bp and Germany's thyssenkrupp are working together, as part of a memorandum of understanding, to help the hard-to-abate steelmaking sector to decarbonise faster with the use of hydrogen. Also, Air Products has signed an agreement with VPI of the UK to develop an 800 MW hydrogen production facility in Immingham, in pursuit of decarbonisation. In addition, Plug Power CEO Andy Marsh of the US, and Port of Antwerp-Bruges CEO Jacques Vandermeiren are working together to bring green hydrogen to the heart of Europe, while Wood Mackenzie reports that 20% of the world's green hydrogen projects are now located in Spain, which is in second place to the US's 50% of green hydrogen projects. The technology for producing green hydrogen is now a central component of the European Union's climate strategy for achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. Neon director Lion Hirth advocates on LinkedIn that hydrogen rather than electricity be transported given that hydrogen pipelines have the potential to carry so much more energy than electricity power lines, though both have comparable investment cost. As reported by Anglo American Platinum CEO Natascha Viljoen last month, South Africa is one of only four countries that has more renewable energy potential available to it than what it needs for itself, which places the country in a very strong position to be able to export green energy, with hydrogen in the form of ammonia, hydrogen gas or liquid hydrogen among the best ways of doing so. As Mining Weekly reported last week, a green electron and green molecule energy transition is tailor-made for South Africa, owing to this country's superior sun, prime wind and land, favourable storage potential, know-how and PGMs for green electricity and green mobility. Not all hydrogen generation is done with the help of PGMs. Hydrogen generation through alkaline electrolysers does not require PGMs, and nor does hydrogen from ammonia and direct combustion. Hydrogen is only green when renewables apply and renewables are inconsistent, which means storage is essential, and energy is exceedingly storable as hydrogen. If PEM electrolysers and PEM fuel cells win out – which they should on efficiency grounds – it will be a colossal bonus for South Africa because these require the PGMs that Southern Africa hosts in such abundance. In fact, a green hydrogen energy transition can be the just energy transition that South Africa simply must have. More news on the platinum front is that platinum i...

En el anterior programa hablamos del hidrógeno para alimentar la pila de combustible, y hoy toca hablar del hidrógeno como combustible en un motor de 4T. Antes de nada: En el inicio de la historia del coche ¿qué combustibles había y que reparto tenían en cuanto a su uso? Si bien a primeros del siglo XX el mercado, diminuto, del automóvil estaba repartido a partes iguales entre modelos eléctricos, de vapor y de explosión, la apertura de pozos de petróleo permitió disponer de un combustible económico, lo que decidió la imposición del motor de cuatro tiempos movido por combustible fósil como estándar de la industria, desplazando hasta casi hacer desaparecer las otras soluciones tecnológicas. Entre ellas la del hidrógeno, que, si bien producía como único residuo vapor de agua, eliminando los molestos gases y humos de los vehículos propulsados por vapor de agua y combustible fósil, exigía para su utilización una tecnología indisponible en este momento. ¿Había coches de serie de hidrógeno al principio de todo o cuándo comenzaron a existir? El uso del hidrógeno en motores de explosión nunca fue realmente una opción más allá de los vehículos de laboratorio. Así pasan las décadas, el hidrógeno abandona el mundo del automóvil para ser utilizado en forma líquida en los programas espaciales, donde casi ha monopolizado los programas espaciales. Mientras tanto, los pocos laboratorios que estudiaban el uso del hidrógeno en el motor de explosión no consideraron nunca con seriedad que pudiera hacerse una aplicación comercial. Sin embargo, a partir de los años 90 se toma conciencia del impacto que los gases de efecto invernadero (GEI) tienen en el medio ambiente de nuestro planeta. Esta concienciación renueva el interés por el uso del hidrógeno como combustible en los motores de explosión sustituyendo los combustibles fósiles. Un claro ejemplo de este interés es el BMW serie 7 del año 2006. La marca modificó el sistema de alimentación de este modelo, dotado de un motor de 12 cilindros en V y 6 litros de cilindrada, para que funcionara con hidrógeno erogando la misma potencia y manteniendo las prestaciones del modelo original de gasolina. Se trata de un vehículo de demostración que exhibe las ventajas, pero también las exigencias tecnológicas, de utilizar este combustible. ¿Ese BMW llegó a ser un coche de serie? En este caso el constructor incluso fue un poco más porque la versión movida por hidrógeno estaba a disposición del público. Y fueron adquiridas unas 100 unidades. El modelo contaba con un depósito adicional para transportar el hidrógeno, así como un sistema de alimentación específico para inyectar el hidrógeno indirectamente, justo antes del cilindro. Se añadía un depósito adicional para transportar unos 140 litros de hidrógeno líquido (a una temperatura de 250 ºC bajo cero), que deberían permitirle recorrer unos 400 kilómetros según las estimaciones de la marca. El modelo incluso se tuvo que enfrentar a una vuelta rápida en el circuito de Nurburgring, completándolo en algo menos de 10 minutos, tiempo más que razonable para una gran berlina grande, pesada, confortable, movida por hidrógeno y pensada para escenarios mucho más abiertos y menos exigentes que este circuito. ¿Se siguen vendiendo estos coches? La marca no ha continuado con la comercialización de estas versiones. En la actualidad ¿qué se está haciendo con el hidrógeno para alimentar un motor 4T? No obstante, las iniciativas se multiplican en la actualidad y cada vez son más los fabricantes que estudian dar un nuevo impulso al viejo motor de explosión de cuatro tiempos utilizando el hidrógeno como combustible. El hidrógeno también se puede utilizar como combustible en los motores de explosión, directamente (H2ICE) o combinado con otros. Presenta muchas ventajas, entre las que se encuentra la posibilidad de obtención a partir de fuentes renovables y unas emisiones en las que no están presentes gran parte de los contaminantes que sí aparecen con los combustibles vistos anteriormente, basados en carbono. Adaptar un motor de explosión de gasolina para el uso de hidrógeno no necesita de grandes transformaciones, pudiendo ser la alimentación al cilindro por inyección directa o indirecta. Además, se puede utilizar mezclado con otros combustibles (gasolina, gasóleo o gas) para potenciar el rendimiento del motor. ¿Características o ventajas del hidrógeno como combustible? El hidrógeno es un gas con un conjunto de características que lo convierten en un combustible muy interesante. Entre otras se pueden citar las siguientes: Baja energía de ignición. Se puede mezclar con cualquier otro combustible. El inconveniente es que cualquier punto caliente que encuentre el hidrógeno en su camino hacia o en la cámara puede ser suficiente para iniciar la combustión, produciendo el picado de la biela (detonación de la mezcla antes de que el cilindro llegue al punto muerto superior provocando ruido, vibraciones y un fuerte desgaste de los elementos mecánicos). Rango amplio de inflamabilidad. Este parámetro tiene relación con la proporción entre combustible y comburente a conseguir en la cámara de combustión para que la mezcla se produzca de forma eficiente. El hidrógeno autoriza mezclas pobres, mezclas en las que existe exceso de oxígeno respecto a la relación ideal o estequiométrica. Estas mezclas son las habituales en regímenes medios y bajos en los motores diésel y consiguen valores de emisiones más bajos, puesto que aseguran que todo el combustible tenga oxígeno con el que reaccionar. Además, trabajar con mezclas pobres es una formad e reducir la temperatura máxima de la combustión, limitando la fuga de calor por las paredes del cilindro. Alta temperatura de autoignición. Su alta temperatura de autoignición, del orden de 585 °C frente a los 300°C aproximadamente del gasóleo o a los 450°C de la gasolina dificulta mucho su utilización en ausencia de bujía de encendido. Danos la pincelada final del contexto del hidrógeno como combustible en automoción Adaptar un motor de explosión de gasolina para el uso de hidrógeno no necesita de grandes transformaciones, pudiendo ser la alimentación al cilindro por inyección directa o indirecta. La aplicación de la Hoja de Ruta del Hidrógeno, que promete su producción y distribución a precios competitivos, junto con la posibilidad de seguir utilizando las instalaciones de producción de los fabricantes de motores de explosión, explica el creciente interés por esta tecnología. Más problemático parece el almacenamiento del gas en el vehículo. Al igual que ocurre con los FCEV, tener una cantidad de energía suficiente para asegurar una autonomía razonable en un volumen razonable exige de unas presiones muy considerables. El informe de la ANFAC, pronostica que un cuarto del total de vehículos comercializados en 2040 será movido por hidrógeno, aunque no explicita qué proporción corresponde a FECV o a H2ICE. Sin duda parece que una competición entre ambas tecnologías se producirá en los próximos lustros, en la que los H2ICE pueden tener ventaja en los primeros años, especialmente en transporte pesado por carretera, para luego ceder el liderazgo a os FCEV, una vez que el coste de esta tecnología se rebaje.

Está muy de modo hablar de combustibles alternativos, ya tenemos en este especial El Coche del mañana con Andrés Muñoz un episodio sobre combustibles sintéticos, hoy toca hablar de hidrógeno. Además con una particularidad, hablaremos de hidrógeno hoy y en el siguiente episodio, porque el hidrógeno puede aportar energía en el coche de dos formas. Antes de eso ¿Qué es el hidrógeno , no me digas que vamos a tener problemas de abastecimiento? Creado en las estrellas, el hidrógeno es el elemento más abundante en la tierra, aunque nunca se encuentra en estado puro, sino unido a otras moléculas, habitualmente en forma de agua, que cubre el 70 % del planeta. Es el elemento más simple, formado por un único electrón y protón y es el más ligero, aunque contiene tres veces más energía por kilo que el petróleo. ¿Cuándo y cuándo se comienza a aplicar en automoción? Desde 1990 los principales constructores de automóviles han desarrollado prototipos de vehículos movidos por hidrógeno. Primero utilizándolo como combustible en motores de combustión tradicionales, aunque la idea se descartó rápidamente por problemas de eficiencia. A continuación, la investigación se centró en la pila de combustible, investigación que está actualmente alcanzando la madurez. Hay dos formas de hacer que un coche se mueva con hidrógeno, explícanos primero ¿Qué es eso de la pila de combustible? La pila de hidrógeno instalada en vehículos permite producir energía eléctrica a partir del gas transportado en depósitos relativamente pequeños, ahorrándose el peso de las pesadas baterías necesarias para transportar la misma cantidad de energía en forma eléctrica. Los FCEV combinan la presencia de una pila de combustible con unas baterías relativamente pequeñas. ¿Cómo es la reacción química en la pila de hidrógeno? Esta reacción es extremadamente sencilla. Los electrodos están separados por el electrolito. Las moléculas de hidrógeno atraviesan el electrodo (ánodo) y reaccionan con el recubrimiento catalítico desprendiéndose de electrones y transformándose en iones cargados positivamente. Los electrones son conducidos al circuito eléctrico, alimentándolo, mientras que los iones de hidrógeno atraviesan el electrolito para llegar al otro electrodo, el cátodo, donde reaccionan con el oxígeno para formar vapor de agua. Por lo tanto, el único producto del proceso es agua, junto con la corriente eléctrica que se obtiene al desprenderse el hidrógeno de su electrón y quedar ionizado. En los vehículos de hidrógeno la célula debe calentarse a la temperatura de funcionamiento y el aire utilizado de comburente debe ser comprimido y humidificado. Además, se incluye un circuito para eliminar el agua. Vamos a poner ejemplos concretos de coches actuales que se mueven con hidrógeno en el formato pila de combustible Aunque en la actualidad prácticamente todas las marcas cuentan con al menos un prototipo circulando, detallamos el modelo quizás más conocido: el Toyota Mirai. Con un diseño muy llamativo el Mirai es un coche eléctrico que cuenta con una batería auxiliar que alimenta el sistema eléctrico y que puede respaldar a la pila de combustible en las fases de fuerte aceleración. Esta batería se recarga tanto regenerativamente como a través de la pila de hidrógeno. Algunas versiones de este modelo se venden con toma de corriente, para utilizar la pila como generador eléctrico en caso de necesidad (terremoto o incendio, por ejemplo). Las ventajas principales que aporta son una autonomía y un tiempo de repostaje equivalentes al de los motores térmicos, y muy inferior al de los BEV. Este Mirai es un coche largo, de casi cinco metros de longitud y con unas llamativas grandes tomas de aire delanteras, necesarias para la respiración de la pila. Sin embargo, como también pasaba con los primeros híbridos, el maletero es desproporcionadamente pequeño en relación con la longitud total del vehículo: dos depósitos de hidrógeno de 5 kg y 700 bares de presión tienen la culpa. La batería se sitúa encima del eje trasero, mientras que la pila ocupa el centro condicionando el tamaño del túnel y limitando la capacidad a cuatro pasajeros homologados. Como curiosidad, el Mirai se traga unos 22 m3 de aire cada 100 km y emite 7 litros de agua en la misma distancia. Toyota anuncia unos conservadores 500 km de autonomía. Su gran rival es en la actualidad el Nexo de Hyundai con pila de hidrógeno y con 660 km de autonomía. Mide 4,67 m y cuenta con tres depósitos de 52,2 litros de volumen reforzados con fibra de carbono, que permiten repartirlos mejor por el chasis y aprovechar mejor su espacio. Dos de estos depósitos se encuentran debajo del asiento trasero y el tercero bajo el maletero y tienen una capacidad conjunta de 6,7 kilogramos de hidrógeno. El Nexo cuenta además con una batería de 40 kWh y motor eléctrico de 120 kW (163 CV). El Nexo y el Mirai son dos opciones que parecen razonables, seguramente utilizables a diario si no fuera por el escasísimo número de hidrogeneras disponibles, lo cual limita su utilización a flotas con una base en la que repostar. Además, son vehículos sensiblemente más caros que sus rivales híbridos en potencia y tamaño. ¿Dónde más podemos encontrar ya hidrógeno para el formato pila de combustible? Las aplicaciones FCEV están mucho más extendidas entre autobuses de recorridos urbanos, por las ventajas que representa esta explotación (rutas conocidas en entornos urbanos y estaciones base donde instalar una hidrogenera…). El desarrollo en camiones pesados va retrasada respecto a otras aplicaciones, pero se anuncia un futuro muy interesante. El hidrógeno es un portador de energía con casi emisiones nulas si se obtiene de fuentes renovables, pero no es una fuente de energía. A pesar de ser abundante en la naturaleza, es necesario emplear gran cantidad de energía para producir hidrógeno puro. Se puede almacenar y reutilizar para generar electricidad, pero se calcula que con este paso intermedio se pierde al menos un 30 % de rendimiento (la pila de combustible se estima que tiene un rendimiento de más o menos el 60%). ¿Qué dicen esos políticos Europeos a los que tenemos tanto cariño sobre el uso del hidrógeno? La postura de Europa parece ser la de primar el uso de hidrógeno en vehículos comerciales pesados, cuya huella de carbono parece más difícil de eliminar. Para los vehículos particulares, quizás con la excepción de los más rodadores, la capacidad de las baterías parece suficiente y la mayor eficiencia de esta configuración la hace preferida. No obstante, ambas tecnologías coexistirán y quizás a más largo plazo, el hidrógeno gane la partida, pues tiene la innegable ventaja de ser más rápido de repostar, aunque las hidrogeneras exijan (como también ocurre con las electrolineras cuando de carga rápida se trata) de una comunicación con el coche para repostar de forma segura.

The rise in the use of hydrogen for electric fuel cells in the trucking industry continues to gain momentum.  Find out how the nation's leading Class 8 heavy truck manufacturers are moving to develop, test and launch all new Class 8 FCEV trucks. 

A "true classic" of hydrogen vehicle approval in the EU, Regulation EC79-2009, will be repealed this summer. Together with Thomas Frohn, hydrogen expert at TÜV SÜD's mobility division, we discuss the resulting new regulatory framework for hydrogen-powered vehicles.

Hoy en MOTORK tenemos la revisión y prueba de un coche muy especial. Se trata del Toyota Mirai 2021, un vehículo de pila de combustible de hidrógeno FCEV. Teníamos muchas ganas de compartir con todos vosotros. El coche de hidrógenos es un gran desconocido para muchos y lo poco que se sabe, son datos equivocados o erróneos que en este y próximos vídeos vamos a tratar de aclarar y mostraros como funciona un coche de hidrógeno y cuales son sus ventajas en cuanto a su uso y funcionalidad.

From established names like Tata Motors to new-age technology companies like Ather Energy and Ola, the automobile sector is shifting its focus to electric vehicles in view of an unprecedented rise in pollution levels and the climate change crisis therefore. The first breed of EVs to come out in the market are battery electric vehicles. Though good, these vehicles are not an alternative to the internal combustion engine, or ICE-based, vehicles simply because they have a limited range-per-charge capacity and are dependent on external charging systems. On that note, the Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles, or FCEVs as they are called, make a better alternative to ICEs-based vehicles.  How? Let's find out What is a Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle? The FCEV is a type of electric vehicle that does not require external charging, but a fuel like Hydrogen to generate current required by the electric vehicle for mobility and to charge the built-in batteries for auxiliary functions. Much like the ICE-based vehicles, the FCEVs will require fuel but a green one that does not pollute the environment. How do FCEVs work: The FCEVs are electric vehicles that derive energy from a fuel cell powered by hydrogen, instead of drawing it only from a battery. Unlike conventional electric vehicles, where the battery is the primary source for vehicle traction, FCEVs use electricity generated by hydrogen-powered fuel cells and need the battery for auxiliary functions like starting the vehicle or storing energy generated from regenerative braking. Therefore, the FCEVs do not require plug-in capability to charge the battery but need hydrogen as a fuel to operate. Are FCEVs available in India? FCEVs are currently not available in India, but they have been tested here. Earlier in 2021, the country's largest power generator, National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC), had asked the automobile industry to procure such vehicles for pilot projects. News reports suggest that international automobile makers Toyota and Hyundai Motor, and India's Tata Motors, Ashok Leyland and KPIT Technologies had shown interest in the initiative.

Die Hyundai Motor Group mit den Mobilitätsmarken Kia, Hyundai und Genesis, hat auf dem globalen Online-Forum „Hydrogen Wave“ ihre Zukunftsvision einer weltweiten Wasserstoffgesellschaft präsentiert. Die Pläne reichen aktuell bis 2040 und beinhalten die Einführung neuer Technologien im Transportwesen und in anderen Sektoren zur Verbreitung des Energieträgers Wasserstoff.Darum geht es diesmal!Die Hyundai Motor Group, zu der die Mobilitätsmarken Kia, Hyundai und Genesis gehören, unterstreicht ihr Engagement für saubere, nachhaltige Energie für alle Arten von Mobilität und erläutert ihre Pläne, die die Elektrifizierung aller neuen Nutzfahrzeugmodelle mit Brennstoffzellen- oder batterieelektrischem Antrieb sowie die Anwendung von Brennstoffzellensystemen für alle Modelle bis 2028 vorsehen. Mit dieser Strategie wird die Hyundai Motor Group eine Vorreiterrolle in der Nutzfahrzeugbranche einnehmen und dazu beitragen, eine nachhaltige, saubere Zukunft zu verwirklichen. Seit der Entwicklung seines ersten Brennstoffzellen-Elektrofahrzeugs (FCEV) im Jahr 1998 bereitet sich der Konzern auf die Zukunftsmobilität mithilfe von Wasserstoff vor. Im Jahr 2013 wurde der Hyundai ix35 FCEV enthüllt, der die Tür zur Massenproduktion von Brennstoffzellenfahrzeugen öffnete. Im Jahr 2018 brachte das Unternehmen dann die nächste Generation des Brennstoffzellen-SUV NEXO auf den Markt, gefolgt vom weltweit ersten schweren Brennstoffzellen-Lkw XCIENT Fuel Cell im vergangenen Jahr. Nun erweitert der Konzern sukzessive seine Angebote basierend auf Wasserstofftechnologien, um eine führende Rolle beim Aufbau einer nachhaltigen Zukunft zu spielen und die Abhängigkeit der Gesellschaft von fossilen Brennstoffen zu verringern. Nach zwei Jahrzehnten an der Spitze der Entwicklung der Brennstoffzellentechnologie sieht der Konzern diese für breitere Anwendungen in seinen Fahrzeugen sowie für weitere Mobilitäts- und verschiedene Energieanwendungen vor. Die Vision der Hyundai Motor Group besagt, dass die Wasserstoffenergie bis zum Jahr 2040 nicht nur für den Transport genutzt wird, sondern auch in weiteren Bereichen verschiedener Industrien und im privaten Umfeld Anwendung findet. Der Konzern hat bereits mit der Serienproduktion einer stark verbesserten Version des aktuellen Hyundai XCIENT Fuel Cell begonnen, dem ersten in Serie gefertigten Brennstoffzellen-Schwerlastkraftwagen der Welt. Außerdem entwickelt der Konzern eine Zugmaschine auf Basis des XCIENT Fuel Cell, die 2024 Markstart feiern soll. Auf dem „Hydrogen Wave“-Forum präsentierte die Hyundai Motor Group außerdem das Konzept „Trailer Drone“, ein wasserstoffbetriebenes Containertransportsystem, das völlig autonom arbeiten kann.

So gut wie jeder weiß wie ein Auto mit Verbrennungsmotor funktoniert - und die meisten wissen auch grundsätzlich wie ein Batterieauto aussieht. Aber wie funktioniert eigentlich ein Brennstoffzellen-Fahrzeug und was unterscheidet es von den anderen Fahrzeugtypen? Hier eine Grundlagen-Folge dazu.

Join me and Andy Marsh, President and CEO of Nasdaq listed PlugPower (symbol: PLUG) for a conversation about how the Covid19 crisis, boosts demand for Hydrogen Fuel Cell e-Mobility, especially in the B2B ‘Material Handling Industry' (e.g. Forklift Trucks). Some of PlugPower's main customers are Amazon, Walmart and Carrefour. Fuel Cell Technology has been around for a long time, yet has only lately matured from a high-cost and low-implementation technology into profitable commercialization, by offering turnkey Hydrogen Fuel Cell solutions. The Global Hydrogen Generation market accounted for $103.20 billion in 2017 and is expected to reach $207.48 billion by 2026 growing at a CAGR of 8.1% from 2017 to 2026. (source: ResearchAndMarkets.com's) Andy explains, the difference between Hydrogen (produced by using fossil fuels) and Green Hydrogen (using renewable/green energy) and PlugPower's intense focus on shifting fast towards Green Hydrogen production. Companies such as German Bosch and Chinese Diesel Engine maker, WeiChai, are investing billions into the HFC (Hydrogen Fuel Cells) market and its infrastructure, as to broaden its implementation. Regarding the passenger car sector, Toyota, Honda and Hyundai already offer FCEV's (Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles). Albeit expensive, FCEV will eventually offer a viable and cost-efficient alternative to fossil fuel powered cars and even BEV's (Battery Electric Vehicles), such as Tesla cars. Some analysts agree, that car producers only focusing on Battery Fueled e-Mobility, can expect strong competition from cars powered by Hydrogen Power in a not so distant future. The main advantages of Hydrogen Fuel Cell e-mobility: fast refueling, long range, high power density. Disadvantages: relatively costly (due to current low levels scaling) and the need of more infrastructure investments. Disclaimer: ‘I am an investor.'
