Cars That Think

DECEMBER 30, 2021

2021 was a big year for energy-related news, what with the ongoing hunt for new forms of energy storage and cleaner if not carbon-free electricity and events and research that spotlighted the weak links in our power grid. Most of the world’s hydrogen comes from deeply polluting methods. Well, let's think.

The goal is to build a hydrogen refueling network that can be rolled out quickly, and built up over time as fuel cell trucks become more common. For a zero emission truck, you’ve got basically two choices: batteries, or hydrogen fuel cells. This is enough hydrogen for about 20-25 fillups.

The California Energy Commission (CEC) has announced that it has approved a project to increase the deployment of fueling infrastructure for electric and hydrogen trucks, buses and equipment. The project team consists of CALSTART’s long-term voucher program administrator, Tetra Tech, and equity partner GRID Alternatives.

We also see this in Japan, which might explain why the country seems so interested in hydrogen powered automobiles when nobody else seems to be. Therefore, claiming they’re vastly cleaner doesn’t make a lot of sense. We’ve seen this happen with the concept of hydrogen-fueled cars, too.

Electric vehicles are powered by electricity stored in rechargeable batteries or obtained from other sources such as hydrogen fuel cells. The absence of engine noise enhances the driving experience and reduces noise pollution in urban areas. Here itself there is a little advantage in terms of pollution.

At present, PHEV technology alone is equipped to improve the current electric grid. The car can refuel during periods of low demand on the grid, and if equipped with a bi-directional charger, can actually replenish the grid with excess energy gleaned from a renewable resource.

Vehicle to Grid (V2G) technology is a bi-directional electric grid interface that allows a plug-in to take energy from the grid or put it back on the grid.

Hydrogen and fuel cells remain decades from meaningful deployment, even their supporters concede. Diverse, American sources of energy have made the electric grid essentially resilient and secure, immune to petroleum’s price volatility or politics. While less polluting than petroleum, burning natural gas emits significant carbon.
