Hiringa, with partners fuel supplier Waitomo Group and Australasia’s largest heavy vehicle fleet owner TR Group, on Tuesday opened three green hydrogen stations, with a fourth under way, within the North Island’s economic “golden triangle” of freight movement.
The short version is: Because people are making and buying the batteries. Hydrogen has failed to scale.
They’ve been ripping hydrogen stations out in the UK, Norway, California. Hydrogen may as well be Betamax or HD-DVD at this point.
Edit: I’ll be quite happy if I’m wrong. I would love to see more widespread decarbonisation assuming the hydrogen wasn’t blue.
I expect this to change. The problem is they pushed it out for light vehicles before it was ready. If it’s going to work anywhere, it’ll be heavy vehicles, shipping and aero.
But hell any new zero emissions tech is ok by me. Just…something other than dead rotten dinosaurs.
