@@matskjellstrand7730 Hydrogen is not viable because of its thermodynamics, energy economics & chemistry. Hydrogen production wastes half the energy put in, as heat, which goes towards global warming. This is not something that will improve, as its simply the huge amount energy required to break C-H & H-O bonds to form H-H. This lost energy has to be paid for. Renewables are now pairing with huge battery storage installations, California, UK & Australia are some examples. Australia has had a long history with Gridscale Vanadium liquid flow batteries that run for 20 years. They are now getting into Lithium as the costs drop. Hydrogen is difficult to make & store, as it leaks out of just about anything, and makes steel & aluminium brittle, so high pressure hydrogen equipment needs regular inspection & replacement to meet regulatory safety standards to avoid catastrophic failure. The only big customers of hydrogen are in the chemicals industry, and they have been getting cheap immediate use hydrogen from natural gas & coal, which is impossible to compete with on price, flexibility or quantity. Hydrogen is difficult to store, but a chemicals buyer can put in an order tomorrow for thousands of tons and it would be made fresh from fossil fuels, no need to store. If it were made from electricity not only would you need to have started producing weeks ago using the cheapest possible off peak electricity (dwindling as battery storage ramps up), but you’d have to store it for weeks & insure it. The total cost of that green hydrogen is more than 4x fossil hydrogen even with off peak electricity so chem industry buys from the cheapest seller, because their customers don’t want to pay a high cost for the chemical products. Even if electricity became free, which was a pipe dream promised by nuclear, the run cost makes hydrogen a premium specialist material, for use only for high value purposes. That is why Scania & Man are no longer pursuing hydrogen, and why you do not see hydrogen powering EVs. Even the public refueling stations cost a fortune to install & maintain, whereas ev charger stations cost less than 1% to build & maintain by comparison.

@seanmorrison37443 жыл бұрын
Not just for heavy transport, but also for chemical processes like making ammonia and methanol. Green hydrogen on a massive scale is completely inevitable if we want to have any hope of decarbonizing industrial agriculture, for example. The biggest advantage of hydrogen for transport, though, is that it decouples generation and demand; if you want to charge a 100kWh battery in 6 minutes, you'd need 1MW of dispatchable power on demand. Multiply this by the number of cars that need to charge up at any given time, and you can see there's a problem, especially if you're relying on variable renewables like wind and solar. Batteries are only half of the equation when it comes to solving the problem of slow charge times. An energy vector like hydrogen solves this problem because it doesn't have to be dispatched instantly. We can instead build enough infrastructure to make and distribute the stuff to support those instantaneous spikes in energy demand. As for the extra energy required to make hydrogen compared to the round trip efficiency of batteries: California, by itself, already curtails enough energy every year that we could charge 26 million cars with 100kWh batteries. Well-to-wheels efficiency is just a non-issue because we're already wasting a tonne of energy, and as renewable penetration increases, we're going to be drowning in the stuff and looking for things to do with it. Hydrogen is a great energy sink, because it's never full. You can throw as much cheap, almost free electricity at it as you like and use that energy later, and do so on scales that would make even the most ambitious battery chemistries blush.

Great informative video into Battery/hydrogen tech. Although I have to disagree with your initials points around hold backs on EV adoption regarding Range anxieties with 300-400 miles of range and long charging times. It's extremely rare to drive 300/400 miles without stopping, you would need a rest stop giving an opportunity to charge, and the charging tech has developed fast passed having to wait >hour to gain substantial charge. With those particular statements, it's the mindset of ICE vehicle drivers that needs to change, which is the comments I get a lot (I have a Nissan e-NV200 with 100-150 miles of range.) Cars that we use for daily driving don't need more than 300/400 miles of range, even today, there may be reason to challenge that if your lifestyle has you driving 100s of miles a week but even then I'd still say that's sufficient range. Further, moving from ICE to EV a key in charging is understanding that it is done alongside other tasks and not as a stand alone activity. I charge my van at home of a 3Kw Plug, from 0%-100% it takes 22 hours... you can imagine the laughs from friends that drive ICE saying, "wow we'll have to give you a day's notice to meet up then" because ICE drivers know filling the car as a stand alone activity where you have to stand at your vehicle filling up. This is completely wrong for EV, even with 150 miles of range it is sooooo much more convenient, I come home, plug the van in (takes ~15 seconds) and I'm done, I just do that at the end of each day. If I'm out on the road, I take a put stop to grab food or use the toilet while charging on a fast charger and I'm good to go. So really, charging an EV means instead of queueing and standing at a fuel pump, you plug in and go about your day with an EV. Great video though, helped me understand the technology inside the batteries. Thanks

~ Battery EV ~ grid power, to battery, to forward motion, around 85%-90% efficient from grid to road ~ Hydrogen EV ~ grid power to electrolyzer that splits water to Hydrogen 75% efficiency, a 25% loss right off the top, compress the Hydrogen to 10,000 psi another 13% loss, transport the Hydrogen to fueling stations another 5%-10% loss, fueling stations will need energy to operate but let's not even count that, fuel cells are roughly only 40%-60% efficiency so a minimum loss of another 40%. Simply adding the losses your left with 32% of the original electricity used to split the water. But in truth the losses are cumulative, so in reality your left with about 20% of the original electricity being used to propel the car. So you would need 4.5X the power from the grid up front producing Hydrogen to get the same miles traveled as a battery EV. In addition to the to that. An electrolyzer that makes 4 kilos of hydrogen per hour (top off 18 Toyota Mirai's per day) plus the hydrogen compressor required for 10,000 psi, high pressure tanks, plus a building and all the various ancillary hardware, monitors and safety equipment cost upward of $2 million dollars, the fueling stations cost upward of $2 million dollars. Added to that will be the cost of replacement parts, labor and maintenance. Battery innovation is happening at breakneck pace. Hydrogen from beginning to end is much more involved, complex and expensive to maintain. Also there are limitations to the improvements to efficiency that can be made by turning electricity to hydrogen back to electricity. It will never be economically feasible.
@booobtooober2 жыл бұрын
I copy pasted a few paragraphs below from a paper by - Prof. Werner Antweiler, Ph.D. Fuel cells are not perfectly efficient converting hydrogen into electricity. Some of the energy is lost as heat in the process. The tank-to-wheel efficiency of fuel cells is reckoned to be only about 40-45 percent. Toyota reports that its FCV requires about 0.8kg of hydrogen per 100 km, although 1kg per 100km is probably more realistic under normal road conditions. A typical BEV consumes about 20-25 kWh per 100 km, depending on weight and other characteristics. Some small BEVs are even more frugal. How is hydrogen made? Currently, the main method of producing hydrogen is from steam methane reforming (SMR). High temperature steam (700-1,000°C) is combined with methane under 3-25 bar pressure in the presence of a catalyst to produce hydrogen and carbon dioxide in two chemical steps. Steam and methane generate carbon monoxide and hydrogen, and then a water-gas shift reaction combines carbon monoxide with more water to form carbon dioxide and hydrogen. A third step removes impurities from the gas stream, leaving pure hydrogen. Using low-cost natural gas is currently the most affordable option to make hydrogen, but it is not GHG neutral because of the carbon dioxide that is created in the process, and the heat that is needed in the process and comes from burning natural gas. Producing one kilogram of hydrogen is associated with about 9 kilograms of carbon dioxide (Sun et al., 2019). A cleaner method of producing hydrogen is through electrolysis, where an electric current breaks water into its two constituents. If the electricity comes from clean renewable sources, the hydrogen is indeed mostly emission free. The only emissions are associated with the upstream manufacturing of power generation equipment. Hydrogen made from SMR with carbon capture and storage is also called "blue hydrogen", while hydrogen made from water electrolysis is called "green hydrogen". There are other pathways to produce hydrogen. One alternative technology is known as thermal and plasma pyrolysis, which breaks up methane into hydrogen and carbon directly. Plasma pyrolysis requires 10-12 kWh/kg and has far fewer emissions than SMR. How much electricity is needed to make hydrogen? A completely efficient electrolysis system would require 39 kWh of electricity to produce 1 kg of hydrogen. However, the devices commonly found in operation for this process are less efficient. A typical operational figure is about 48 kWh per kg of hydrogen. How efficient are FCVs compared to BEVs? ‘BEVs are more than three times more efficient than FCVs.’ There are two types of energy losses that need to be accounted for when calculating the kWh needed to drive 100 km: well-to-tank (WTT) that accounts from source to hydrogen tank, and tank-to-wheel (TTW) in terms of fuel cell efficiency and propulsion in the vehicle. Combined, these two energy losses translated into a well-to-wheel efficiency (WTW). A recent study by Whitehead et al. (2018) shows that FCV only have a 22% efficiency, compared to 67% for BEVs. This translates into an energy use of 87 kWh per 100km for FCVs and 28 kWh per 100 km for BEVs. In other words, BEVs are more than three times more efficient than FCVs. If FCVs are less efficient than BEVs, do they have a future? FCVs for passenger vehicles makes neither economic nor environmental sense. Economically, the extra cost of producing hydrogen and distributing hydrogen makes FCVs less economical than BEVs. Whereas batteries are becoming continuously cheaper and significant innovation is visible on the horizon, the potential for reducing the cost of fuel cells or making them more efficient appears to be limited. FCVs for passenger vehicles also do not make sense environmentally as long as electricity is not completely clean, or hydrogen comes primarily from SMR sources rather than renewable energy. FCVs with hydrogen from natural gas are not significantly better than modern (mild-hybrid) gasoline engine vehicles. Every extra kWh of electricity that is needed for making hydrogen is putting more carbon dioxide into the air than a battery-electric vehicle, even including for upstream emission in battery manufacturing.

The most important industrial method for the production of hydrogen is the catalytic steam-hydrocarbon process, in which gaseous or vaporized hydrocarbons are treated with steam at high pressure over a nickel catalyst at 650°-950° C to produce carbon oxides and hydrogen: CnH2n+2 + nH2O → nCO + (2n + 1)H2; CnH2n+2 + 2nH2O→ nCO2 + (3n + 1)H2. The primary reaction products are processed further in various ways, depending on the desired application of the hydrogen. Hydrogen gas creates carbon monoxide and its bad as fuck for the environment. I'm sorry, but a basic law of energy is that energy can not be created or destroyed and in real life energy is lost to the surroundings during the transformation of the system.

So where and how will the platinum, used in the manufacture of hydrogen fuel cells, be sourced? Cobalt has been mined for decades by the big oil companies. They need cobalt to remove sulphur during the refining process. If you drive an ICE car, you are just as guilty as those you are trying to discredit..... Hydrogen has huge manufacturing issues with inefficiency. Hydrogen powered cars are also frighteningly inefficient, achieving around 23% efficiency, which is worse than some ICE vehicles.

"Ranges of only 3 to 4 hundred miles." Meanwhile, many ICE vehicles barely have that range because of low MPG numbers. I drive a 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan for a work vehicle at my job daily which has a full tank range of around 400ish miles. Stop acting like 3 to 4 hundred miles is short for an EV range when many ICE cars have similar ranges. The biggest hurdle is the speed of charging that is rapidly being reduced with several boasting of 80% charge in as little 20 minutes. I don't know what you've been looking at, but many newer EV's have (especially Tesla) have found ways to reduce charging times with the use of powerful DC charging stations bringing down charging times to 30 minutes or less for 80% charge or more. It's only when you start looking at the home charging stations using 240v/120v AC power that those charging times go up. As for solid state batteries, your assessment of them is completely off. Toyota is working on this tech at a rapid pace and plan on testing them in the real world in their Hybrid lineup before adopting them to their growing EV lineup. So the idea of that type of battery being only in high priced luxury vehicles is 100% way off.

Additionally, when you look at the number of KWH needed for the US, you need to be building 3 GW sized nukes every 3 weeks if you want semi-clean energy. As in from about 6 months ago to 2035 or whatever... JUST to handle the power needs for cars. Unfortunately, we aren't building them. And coming up with 17 nukes every year is a problem. There are years to permit one... decade or so to build and so on. Hydrogen looks interesting **if** you can find a biological way to break water apart. Calling on Solar and wind to cover the Terrawatts needed for transportation won't work. With the grid in a fairly fragile state in large parts of the country, depending on Gigawatts of extra consumption will be a problem. IF Tesla ever builds their truck, and starts building appropriately sized charging stations, you are looking at power consumption the size of a small to mid sized city. (quarter to half a gigawatt hour of batteries take a LOT of current to charge... When it comes to hydrogen, a fuel cell installation does not involve a carnot cycle engine. No internal combustion... Just normal electricity.

Do you, the person who voiced this video own an electronic vehicle? I do NOT own an electric vehicle because: 1. Cost. 2. Battery life - cycle times. 3. Time to re-charge. 4. The chemicals needed for batteries are expensive and rare elements. 5. The batteries are not easily recycled. 6. Charging connector standards and number of charging stations infrastructure doesn’t really compare to gas stations. 7. If the government wanted us to have electric vehicles they would be investing in these technologies, standards and infrastructure to bring about the change. Instead the government hampers these efforts by wanting to increase taxes. :-(

You obviously live in the US, because here in the UK we already have 3 times more public charging connections than there are petrol stations. There are also a further 30,000 public charging connections being installed in 2022 alone. Older EV batteries are not too problematic to recycle if you have a bespoke recycling plant. Some car makers have already invested in EV battery recycling plants. Here in the UK at least, it is not the Government who are providing the vast majority of EV charging infrastructure, it is private enterprise. Battery life in many EV's is already exceeding 10+ years. And of course once efficiency reaches a certain point, it is possible to have the battery pack refurbished at a fraction of the cost of a complete replacement. Charging connector standards are not really an issue. There are basically 2 types. Most current EV's have the same type socket. Only the Nissan Leaf differs by using a non standard type (Chademo). However, Nissan have reverted to using the same type of connector as other EV's on their latest EV. If the cost of a new EV is an issue, then consider the used EV market, which has a plentiful supply now. You don't *have* to buy new....

5:40 Yeah producing Liquid Hydrogen requires a ton energy, which might make it as costly as running Gas cars. But that being said, Electric cars are not that clean either. First you get a dead battery eventually and the electricity used has to be produced first also. Even if you produce said electricity using Solar or Wind energy, both also still have an impact to waste produced being manufactured and later the maintenance while in service. The question is just, how big is the impact of gas cars vs electric cars vs liquid hydrogen vs solid state battery cars.

That's not the point of hydrogen fuel cell. Energy is unlimited, you have the sun, you have wind, you have nuclear energy. Energy is all around us and technology allows us to harvest it. However, natural resources, certain ones are limited. Lithium is a finite resources, the world will run out of lithium before we run out of oil. So you know, what happens then? Hydrogen is infinite, it's in sea water. You need energy to extract them, you have the sun and solar power cell, That's the differences. You can use the lithium to store that infinite energy you're extracting from the sun, or you can use lithium to store energy in both the sun and the cars, which just waste more lithium. 100 years from now, all the known lithium reserves in the world will be gone. If you're counting on a breakthrough in battery technology that allows us to make same efficient batteries out of other material, that's wishful thinking. It's like the ones claiming that let's used up all the oil because somebody will figure out how to sustain modern chemical industries without oil. That's insane. There are only a few infinite natural resources in this world. Oxygen, Hydrogen, Silicone, ... If you change from oil to Lithium battery, it's like changing from one finite resources to another finite resources. Go study some physics.

But I agree with you here, in Europe I see Germany boot up Coal Power Plants again because no Gas and they talk about using the few Nuklear longer now. Energy prices are on the rising there. If you use Solar and Wind, you need to have Batteries. I find it concerning that nowadays there are so many devices that are sold that require Batteries, when I was young we used to ride a bike... now everyone uses those E-Bikes. Last time I walked with my wife we seen people on Longboards... E-Longboards. Right now the craze goes towards "cordless" things, but then you need Batteries.

Hydrogen has been around for over a decade. Nobody is buying. Even if the complicated pumping & cryostorage was given away for free there’d be no buyers because i) It is more complex than ICE to maintain ii) The fuel costs more than diesel or using electricity directly. These are run costs, which will never come down, especially if SSBs are there as a cheaper to run alternatives. Using hydrogen for goods transport increases fuel cost 4x, which hauliers with thin profit margins cannot sustain.
