Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, more commonly known as FCEVs, are giving traditional EVs a run for their money. Both types are becoming more ubiquitous worldwide, with many countries setting goals to eliminate internal combustion engines (ICEs) in the next few decades. However, it’s unclear whether FCEVs or EVs are safer.
Hydrogen Leading the Way in Decarbonizing Heavy Machinery

The Future of Hydrogen Power in Healthcare
January 4, 2023 | 5 min read January 4, 2023 | 5 min readIn the face of the evolving climate crisis, the need for clean, affordable, and efficient fuel is greater than it has perhaps ever been. However, nowhere is that need more urgent or more important than in the healthcare industry.Â
Hydrogen Fuel Cell School Bus Entering the Market This Year
January 4, 2023 | 4 min read January 4, 2023 | 4 min readYears ago, the Department of Energy (DOE) released a report outlining the advantages of hydrogen school buses. Fuel cell technology has improved dramatically since then, though hydrogen-powered vehicles remain relatively rare. That could change as these buses enter the market in 2023.

Researchers Improve Hydrogen Fuel Cell Charging Times and Safety
December 15, 2022 | 5 min read December 15, 2022 | 5 min readMost people think of electric cars as the only alternative to the internal combustion engine that relies on fossil fuels, but they aren’t the only option. Hydrogen fuel cells are beginning to find a niche in the clean energy industry, though they don’t have the same support as EVs.Â
Where Is the Responsibility in California’s Hydrogen Economy?
December 15, 2022 | 6 min read December 15, 2022 | 6 min readAs day turned to night on December 13th FCEV owners in the Sacramento area found their already challenging fueling situation getting even worse. According to the California Air Resources Board (CARB) there are about 1,000 FCEV owners in the greater Sacramento area, and under the best of circumstances there are only three hydrogen stations where residents and people passing through the area can fill-up. The West Sacramento station is owned by Iwatani and the other two are owned by Shell.
Mining Machinery Looking to Fuel Cells for Power
December 5, 2022 | 5 min read December 5, 2022 | 5 min readThe world is organizing its talents and materials to pursue a decarbonized future. This transition is happening faster in some industries than others. Until recently, heavy mining machinery was trailing behind in implementing clean energy. However, fuel cells could completely change the balance of power in this industry and beyond.
Common Metals Could Produce Fuel Cells and Agriculture Fertilizer
November 28, 2022 | 4 min read November 28, 2022 | 4 min readPeople are increasingly interested in hydrogen as a sustainable energy source. However, they recognize the associated production methods still have room for improvement regarding their impact on the planet. For example, hydrogen is vital for ammonia production, but facilities still use fossil fuels to make it. Similarly, other manufacturing methods involving hydrogen require rare metals that are expensive or in short supply.
