350km - oh yeah.. what an enormous distance.. and what little effort needed.
Never trust a green source.
The size of a tank for 2kg of hydrogen takes some internal calibration to appreciate.
The big problem of the heavy ships indeed is not the CO2 but the pollution by burning heavy oil without the filters. And if they dump the filtered stuff in the sea there is a dead spot right there for a while.
never trust any source without checking if its important..
That's right
Oh yes. I've been following such news for 40 years, and every now and then there's a breakthrough - either in California or at ITER in southern France.
Actually according to my information it has been the first time that this experiment had an energy output 30 % higher than the input. The problem is that the laser’s energy is not fully brought in the hydrogen core.
LOL, we have such a range of figures.
One is measuring from upside down and one from downside up. As I remember right the numbers have been quite the same in the article I read.LOL, we have such a range of figures.
It's 53.66% according to the BBC:
"On announcing the breakthrough Dr Marvin Adams, deputy administrator for defense programs at the US National Nuclear Security Administration, said that the laboratory's lasers had input 2.05 megajoules (MJ) of energy to the target, which had then produced 3.15 MJ of fusion energy output."

US researchers have overcome a major barrier to achieving low-carbon nuclear fusion.www.bbc.co.uk
But maybe they are all correct and talking about slightly different things.
Crazy if that's the amount of space required to carry 12kg of hydrogen that'll get you 350km of range. I'm sure it'll have its place but can't imagine this being practical relative to a battery unless the rapid refuelling is the driving concern...I wonder if Ineos' programme will be piggybacking off Iveco, given they seen a little ahead with utilising the Hyundai fuel cell, Carraro axles, body on frame, ladder chassis, etc.
The details are interesting:
"The working eDAILY FCEV prototype is equipped with Hyundai’s 90 kW hydrogen fuel cell system and 140 kW e-motor. Six tanks offer a combined storage capacity of 12 kg of hydrogen.
The GVW 7.2 ton prototype has been tested in Europe, confirming a driving range of 350 km, maximum payload of 3 tons and a refueling time within 15 minutes.
While eDAILY BEV, also launched today at the IAA, is best suited for short journeys, eDAILY FCEV will be an ideal option for longer deliveries where high payload and long range is necessary. "

And oil production and refining and transport is so so much better?
I think the point is that the negative impacts of fossil fuels are well understood and socialised whereas the negative impacts of many “green” technologies and their product lifecycles are greenwashed and obfuscated.
