Evoloh bets hydrogen won’t happen without better manufacturing

The startup is attempting to solve hydrogen's supply problem by focusing not on novel materials, but on manufacturing.

Honda’s hydrogen fuel cell-powered CR-V isn’t as dumb as you think

Just like battery-electric cars 20 years ago, hydrogen fuel cell cars suffer from the old chicken and the egg problem. Nobody wants to buy a fuel cell vehicle until the supporting infrastructure is in

Toyota wants hydrogen to succeed so bad it’s practically paying people to buy the Mirai

Despite automakers like Toyota and Honda pushing fuel-cell vehicles, hydrogen’s future lies elsewhere.

Hydrogen is back. At least, CES 2024 suggests it is.

Hydrogen vehicles never really caught on, and yet at CES 2024 fuel-cell vehicles of all sizes litter the show floor. What gives?

Hyundai’s hydrogen Hail Mary

Hyundai said in its CES 2024 keynote it will produce 3 million tons of hydrogen for its steel mills by 2030. That's not particularly impactful, even if it follows through.

TC+ Roundup: Is European venture showing signs of recovery?

Good morning, and happy Tuesday! Today we’re looking at Q3 venture data coming out of Europe. Overall, European venture capital data is down sharply. But as my colleagues Anna Heim and Alex Wilhelm

Federal hydrogen hub program could give fuel a boost — or the boot

The federal government's approach to hydrogen is strikingly similar to the way it promoted biofuels a decade ago. That's not a good thing.

Osmoses gets $11M seed to bring its molecule-scale membranes to the hydrogen market

Today, membrane gas separation represents a relatively small part of the market. But with calls to decarbonize heavy industry, that could change.

Advanced Ionics nets $12.5M Series A to inject green hydrogen into heavy industry

Advanced Ionics hopes its more efficient approach to using electrolysis will give it an unfair advantage in producing hydrogen.

Honda’s aging hydrogen fuel cells get new life in data center

Honda bailed on the Clarity — its only hydrogen-powered car in the U.S. — but the automaker hasn’t quit on fuel cells. That’s the message Honda sent with a peculiar announcement today:

Hyundai’s hydrogen fuel cell concept hints at the performance N brand’s future

Hyundai revealed Thursday a hydrogen fuel cell hybrid concept vehicle called the N Vision 74 that the company says demonstrates the performance sub-brand’s vision for electrification. The Hyunda

Hyundai and WeRide plan to fuel self-driving with hydrogen in China

While hydrogen is still relatively niched as a fuel for electric vehicles, a startup in China is jumping ahead to embrace it for autonomous driving scenarios. WeRide, one of the most funded robotaxi o

SunGreenH2’s nano-scale engineering could double green hydrogen production

If there is ever going to be a national hydrogen economy, we’re going to need to change a few things. One of them is how we produce hydrogen itself, the vast majority of which comes from fossil

BMW hedges its EV bet, appears poised to repeat mistakes of the past

BMW is on the verge of creating another compromise platform that could hamstring its EV efforts.

Aurora Hydrogen raises $10M, but will its process decarbonize or facilitate tar sand exploitation?

Aurora uses a microwave-based approach to liberate hydrogen from methane.

Hydrogen startup ZeroAvia has a zero-emission vision, but its next plane is a hybrid

ZeroAvia has raised $115 million from United Airlines, Alaska Airlines, British Airways and Amazon on a promise to fly a zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell regional passenger plane as soon as next year.

Extreme H is an upcoming off-road racing series with hydrogen cars

An off-road racing series that uses hydrogen cars is expected to debut in 2024. Extreme H will be a companion championship to Extreme E, an off-road EV motorsport that held its first race last year.

Designers hope hydrogen-powered plane will fly halfway around the world without refueling

The FlyZero project, which is led by the Aerospace Technology Institute and funded by the UK government, came up with a concept for a liquid hydrogen-powered midsize aircraft.

With new tech and $3.6M seed, DiviGas aims to clean up hydrogen production

Hydrogen is at the center of many industrial processes and potentially part of major future energy ecosystems, but the process of isolating and storing it is wasteful and expensive. DiviGas, armed wit

What’s fueling hydrogen tech?

Hydrogen is capturing the attention of governments and private sector players, fueled by new tech, global green energy legislation and post-pandemic “green recovery” schemes.
