>>1694321Hydrogen fell off a cliff once nobody committed in the 1970s. And its been that way since the 1970s.
Simply put:
Without R&D the tanks are too expensive, and too maintenance intensive. Effectivity for Hydrolyze being 1/3 doesn't help, nor does it help the other option being LNG gas reformation, which means you might as well go for some form of LNG instead.
So far its a completely dead tech, except all that research on Fuel Cells can still be used for Hydrogen enriched LGN.
But its still a dead end tech until investments are made. And if they are not made, at some point there will be battery breaktroughs, which will just eat any chance of cornering the marked for things like Semi trucks or construction equipment.
