Fuel Cell Powertrain Market Booms
The global fuel cell powertrain market was valued at USD 321.4M in 2023 and is set to grow from USD 597.9M in 2024 to a massive USD 91,547.4M by 2032, at an extraordinary CAGR of 87.6%. 
Key Players:
Cummins | Bosch | Denso | Ballard Power | FEV Group | Nuvera | Plug Power | SFC Energy | Bloom Energy | Ceres Power
Hey Canary Media, if an 8MW liquid-hydrogen-fueled Plug Power fuel cell can perform bumpless transfer from grid to islanded microgrid mode
in Calistoga, CA, it would be technical malpractice to not have spent a few extra dollars & program black-start capability into the system!
All the necessary hardware is already there!
Please verify that your statement is true.

@enobacon Or using cells that ain't gonna violently explode when short-circuit'd internally?
I.e. #LiFePO4 cells.
As for massive storage where energy density and portability isn't as much of a concern, we already see #SodiumIonWetcell|s aka. "#SaltwaterBattery" being a potential alternative.
And again: #FuelCell technology could replace a lot of applications currently occupied by #Diesel generators like #EmergencyPower and #HeavyDutyMachinery powerplants...
@GreenFire The problem is that instead of BEVs full of conflict minerals we could reduce that and their excessive cost & weight with #FuelCell technology, which would also allow easier transition of infrastructure as gas stations can easier convert a pump and a reservoir to #Methanol than one can install half a dozen superfast chargers...
@GreenFire we could even use thermal powerplant tech fir solarthermal plants, have them heat up heat storage and use peak power to synthesize methanol as a #FuelCell energy source we can pump like oil and refuel like gasoline, solving the whole storage issue entirely.
China produces massive amounts of black hydrogen (from black coal) & brown #hydrogen (from low-rank lignite/brown coal), which is even worse in CO2 emissions.
The article says nothing about whether the 100 Chinese #H2 #fuelcell drayage trucks use low carbon intensity #GreenHydrogen !
@LunaDragofelis @CStamp or even better:
#Methanol which allows for a higher energy density without necessitating high-pressure tanks and systems (which in case of a fire can detonate like a pipe bomb)....
And thus #FuelCell technology with #Methanol allows for the swiftness of #refueling with the cleanness of #electric propulsion whilst saving a lot in deadweight compromised mostly of conflict minerals like #cobalt and #Lithium.
I would not call the FuelCell Energy $FCEL solid oxide electrolyzer #SOEC a "commercially proven electrolyzer", due to the lack of multiple (or even a single) commercial installations.
Indeed, the first FuelCell Energy #SOEC system demo is ongoing at Idaho National Lab #INL .

@Salty @leanlearnlead charging being slower because shitty #batteries are used instead if #Methanol #FuelCell|s is one thing, but why can't I just chug in a banknote into a machine or pay at a teller at a "Charging Station" and get like an SMS, eMail or any other notification when it's done?
Worse even if someone's vehicle doesn't have a #CC2 charging port (basically all scooters ≤15kW / 90km/h)...
It could be useful in some places sometimes. City deliveries for example.
Hydrogen is inefficient, yes, but a battery is heavy, requires rare earth metals and must be charged often.
Even if this bicycle idea fails, the fact that such a small fuel cell exist is good.
Maybe it could be backup power for mobile phone masts, hospitals, or something along those lines?
@rdrimmel
A persuasive article but far from implementation.
I'd like to see an expert opinion.
#BatteryTech #FuelCell #EnefgyVector
@KarlHeinzHasliP @denki Personally, I think that standardized #batteries that get swapped would've been the solution to the charging speed problem.
#BEV|s are a problem and the #EnergyDensity and #Charging problems are hard walls that can only be circumvented (i.e. swapping fluids at a #RedoxFlow-#Battery) or ignored (i.e. #Methanol #FuelCell)...
Solving the #EnergyProblem isn't a technological issue, but a political one (see #DESERTEC)...
Honda is sending its hydrogen tech to space
The test is part of Honda’s vision to support life on the Moon and elsewhere in space using regenerative fuel cell technology that continuously produces hydrogen, oxygen, and electricity.

@ErikJonker that's a good level of recycling...
Not as bad as #leaded #gasoline, but #Methanol #Fuelcell would be the technologically superior option longterm...
