Hydrogen Cars: how economic?
…hydrogen is c85% costlier than gasoline. In Europe, all in costs of hydrogen can match gasoline cars with c20% deflation across the board, free renewable energy and c$75/bbl oil inputs….
Vehicle costs: cars, SUVs, hybrids, EVs and hydrogen?
…economical. Trucks and SUVs are 2x more costly. EVs are another 25% more costly again, and will have lost c60% of their value after 100,000 miles. Hydrogen cars have the…
The green hydrogen economy: a summary?
…https://thundersaidenergy.com/2020/05/17/decarbonize-heat/ Green hydrogen in the power sector does not look viable to us. We have modelled the green hydrogen value chain: harnessing renewable energy, electrolysing water, storing the hydrogen, then…
Hydrogen: overview and conclusions?
The best opportunities for hydrogen in the energy transition will be to decarbonize gas at source via blue and turquoise hydrogen, displacing ‘black hydrogen’ that currently comes from coal, and…
Nafion membranes: costs and hydrogen crossover?
…hydrogen crossover. Membrane degradation may thus count against putting electrolysers and fuel cells into mobile applications, such as hydrogen cars, hydrogen trucks and planes. For more details, see our overview…
Vehicles: fuel economy and energy efficiency?
Vehicle fuel economy and energy efficiency are quantified in this data-file, looking across different transportation types: cars, trucks, buses, hybrids, electric vehicles (EVs), hydrogen cars, planes, trains, helicopters, plus other…
Hydrogen peroxide: production costs?
…hydrogen conversion and selectivity). Our estimates into hydrogen consumption of hydrogen peroxide production are tabulated in the data-file. The CO2 intensity of hydrogen peroxide production is 3 tons/ton, as our…
Electric cars slow the energy transition?
…car. Please download the data-file to interrogate our assumptions and stress-test your own scenarios. We argue the “electric revolution” goes beyond replacing today’s ground cars with electric ground cars. The…

Substantively all of the US’s merchant hydrogen today is produced using steam methane reformers, where new…
Methane reforming: costs of grey hydrogen, costs of blue hydrogen?
…The costs of hydrogen production from methane reforming are modelled in this data-file, capturing SMRs, ATRs, grey hydrogen and blue hydrogen. Our best note discussing our conclusions for the industrial…
