Benefits of hydrogen engines for hydrogen infrastructure
The advent of the hydrogen economy infrastructure has been hyped for a long time. In 1997, Wired magazine was writing about the “Dawn of the Hydrogen Age”. Cars with solar panels on their roof would go 5,000 miles between fill ups—and you would be able to drink from their exhaust. By the early 2000’s, several car manufacturers in the world had a hydrogen car program, few with hydrogen engines; unfortunately, few have resulted in a product that consumers could buy.
So, why are we not in the hydrogen age yet?
Benefits of hydrogen engines in transportation
Hydrogen is poised to take a meaningful role in the world’s sustainable energy landscape. No sector stands to benefit more from the use of green hydrogen as an energy carrier than the commercial transportation sector. When people think about hydrogen for commercial vehicle use, they often think of fuel cells battery electric. Internal combustion engines (ICE), however, are also a viable way to power a vehicle with hydrogen.
Hydrogen internal combustion engines and hydrogen fuel cells
Regulations limiting greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) from motor vehicles are tightening around the world. With this, both hydrogen engines and hydrogen fuel cells are receiving an increasing interest.
Examples of hydrogen engines in mobility and transportation
For a long time, it looked like cars with hydrogen engines or fuel cells would one day take over the roads and the transportation sector. Hydrogen fuel cell cars release no harmful emissions of any kind, have a long range, and can be refueled in minutes. In theory they sound like a great way to decarbonize the transportation sector.
Hydrogen engine insights for fleet operators
If you manage a fleet of commercial vehicles, you have probably read or heard about hydrogen engines and hydrogen fuel cells. Fuel cells have come a long way over the years, and they have a bright future.
The role of hydrogen engines in environmental sustainability
In the United States, medium and heavy-duty vehicles are responsible for about a quarter of all transportation greenhouse gas emissions. They’re also the cause of about a third of NOx emissions from mobile sources. It’s no wonder the commercial transportation sector is being asked to reduce emissions.
How do hydrogen engines work?
How can hydrogen fuel power a vehicle?
Using hydrogen to power an engine or motor is more straight forward than you might think. There are two ways to do this.
The first way involves a device known as a fuel cell. The fuel cell converts hydrogen to electricity, which then powers the vehicle’s electric motors, just like in any electric vehicle.
Cummins and Versatile hydrogen engine partnership announced
Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) and Buhler Industries Inc. (TSX: BUI), a leading tractor manufacturer under the Versatile brand, announced today that they have signed a letter of intent and plans to integrate the Cummins 15-liter hydrogen engines in Versatile’s equipment to lead the decarbonization of the agriculture market.
Hydrogen engine insights for truck and bus manufacturers
If you’re a truck or a bus manufacturer that already has a hydrogen fuel cell program, you should consider offering a line of vehicles with a hydrogen internal combustion engine (ICE) as an option for your customers.
