boboneleg Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 Australia’s first hydrogen car comes to market, complete with charging stations in just 5 minutes. The car travels 900 kilometers with the tank full and purifies the air as it moves forward. For the first time, hydrogen fuel cell technology is being applied serialized in a commercial car and, above all, it allows for such important autonomy, with very reduced charging times. This is Hyundai Nexo, a small-cylinder car that beats all car manufacturers in the world and sets a sustainability record, with a charge of 6.27 kilograms of hydrogen that purifies 449,100 liters of air during the journey (as much as the consumption of breathing of 33 people for a whole day) and it only emits water down your exhaust pipe. This car produces no CO2 or other polluting emissions; just think that an equivalent vehicle, with a traditional combustion engine, emits about 126 kg of CO2 at the same distance. The hydrogen engine thus enters the automobile market and intends to join the electric one among the sustainable mobility solutions the world is adopting. Hyundai thus becomes the first automaker in the world to produce a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle for the market. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catteeclan Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 Real I'd guess. Most manufactures have been experimenting but I didn't think Hyundai would be the first to release. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckster Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 Hydrogen fuel cell cars have been around since the ‘60’s but the first mass produced one was from Toyota who built the Mirai in 2014. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes clean production is a question mark but not as bad as the battery production. There's good things happening with synthetic fuels too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have hydrogen... I realise that, I have an electrolysis machine which generates one H and 2O's from a given volume of water, but it uses lots of electricity to do it. In an electric car one uses clean power (mostly) to charge the thing up and off you go. There are transmission losses in getting it from generation to point of use, around 10% but it depends on lots of things so could be less. The electric motor in an electric car is around 90% efficient. Overall transmitting and using electricity in a car is pretty efficient. For an H car again you need to use electricity... to produce H gas, then you need to liquify it. H needs to be cooled to circa -250DegC to liquify it, process which uses over a quarter of the energy in the H to achieve. Then you need to transport it, still at -250C and store it, still at -250C (I assume?) until it goes into a car fuel tank as gas. The fuel cell/ engine is more efficient than an ICE engine but less so than an electric motor. I think they are 60% efficient? So you lose a big chunk of the energy to make the H then liquify the stuff, then store it, only to use it in an engine which itself is about 60% efficient...or am I missing something here...?
