Re: Edward Greenlee’s comments

Hydrogen is not an energy source, it is an energy carrier, you have to make the hydrogen from other chemicals (water electrolysis, methane reforming) using other forms of energy, which is not particularly efficient (~80%), then you have to transport it and store/compress it, also not particularly efficient (another 20%+ loss). Finally you have to convert the hydrogen back into electricity at ~50%. This gives a well to wheel efficiency of around 30-35%. For a battery vehicle well to wheel is of the order of 70%, HFCV & BEV both assume renewable electricity source.
Once battery technology has improved a bit more in the next few years (i.e. reduced price and better capacity) hydrogen vehicles are unlikely to be competitive as the running costs of HFCVs will be double, possibly more, than that of BEVs.

Comment on DLR motor glider Antares takes off in Hamburg – powered by a fuel cell by Andy Maybury

Two suggestions that would give the same overall result of zero-carbon flight:
1) Burn the hydrogen in a jet engine.
2) Launch the glider using a ground-based winch powered by a zero-carbon power source.
