DETROIT – As the automotive industry continues to innovate, hydrogen fuel is becoming an increasingly hot topic of conversation. Governments and environmental groups alike are taking note as car companies rapidly introduce revolutionary new technologies that allow vehicles like the Hyperion XP-1 and Hyundai N Vision to use this form of energy. The potential for more efficient transportation has never been greater.
Fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) could revolutionize the transportation industry. These efficient machines produce no tailpipe emissions – only water vapor and warm air! Powered by pure hydrogen gas stored in a tank on-board, these cars can be fueled up for a driving range of over 300 miles in less than four minutes – similar to conventional vehicles with an internal combustion engine.
Other Advanced technologies such as regenerative braking further increase efficiency by capturing energy during the braking process and reverting it back into storage batteries. Mainstream automakers have already released FCEVs models like the Toyota Miria, Honda FXC Clarity (discontinued), and the Hyundai Nexo in select markets depending on local infrastructure support.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recently revealed its intent to invigorate the development and demonstration of cost-efficient clean hydrogen energy technologies, to achieve a major initiative known as “Hydrogen Shot”. This is part of the Biden Administration’s grand climate goals campaign which seeks carbon neutrality across industries by 2050. Investing in this project has potential benefits including reducing costs for both fuel cells and infrastructure needs related to hydrogen technology – along with working toward reaching $1 dollar per kilogram within the one-decade time frame (“1 1 1”).
