Hydrogen Economy News | The UK government has launched a £200 million investigation into the future of its road freight. Over a three-year period, it will look to understand economic advantages of hydrogen and electric trucks Starting later this year, the program will run over three years, supporting the UK government’s ambitions of ensuring that all new heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) sold in the UK run with zero emissions by 2040 The debate between hydrogen and electric trucks remains plagued by contradicting claims and rhetoric from both sides. As recently as last week, Elon Musk has referred to hydrogen as “the most dumb thing I could possibly imagine for energy storage,” while hydrogen truck pioneer Nikola has been lampooned for its CEO’s misleading claims about its technology’s capabilities. The Fraunhofer Institute earlier this year released a report claiming that hydrogen was unlikely to play a major role in trucks due to the higher costs involved compared to batteries. But advocates like Hyzon Motors (NASDAQ: HYZN) have snapped back by arguing that electric grids will struggle to cope with large numbers of HGVs being charged at once. Further, battery supply chain challenges are already severely limited EV production and adoption. https://ift.tt/fdAP0Xn
