Hydrogen vs. Battery
- Thread starter siry

Is "letstakeawalk" the new H2 industry mouthpiece on that site now? Certainly seems to be all over your comments Doug.
My reading of this is that it's a coal fired plant. They use some process to extract H2 from coal, use the H2 to power a gas turbine, which runs the generators. Then, they sequester the CO2 from the coal and, um, do something with it.
Maybe it's interesting because it's more efficient than a standard coal fired plant, or because it's easier to sequester the CO2 then when you directly burn the coal, but fundamentally the process is coal+ O2 -> CO2 + H2O + energy, same as when you burn it. They just have an intermediate step where they have free H2 and then burn that to make H2O.

Presumably, it's still a leasing exercise.

BMW rumored to quit hydrogen but just dropping Hydrogen 7 — Autoblog Green
For about as long as I have been reading about alternative fuelled cars (which is a long time), I've read that BMW would launch a hydrogen version of the 7 series in "this generation". I think 3 or 4 generations have passed since I first read that.
However they try to spin it, this is huge news. One of hydrogen's biggest supporters gives up on its intent to build a production model. By retreating to the position of just carrying out component research, they are going from H2 being "5 years away" to it being at some unspecified point over the horizon.
I think AC Propulsion must take a little credit for that :smile:

I don't feel like registering just to comment but you might want to go back and explain the 5 minute recharge capability of lithium.
Thanks for the heads-up.
By the way, I can't work out whether Bobbybev is very misguided or a very cunning oil company shill...
