Hydrogen in automotive.

Nick Owen, Technical Director at Dolphin N2, explains how they have used ‘ThermoPower’ technology to use up to 30% less diesel in an engine, with the ability to use a range of fuels that don’t compromise efficiency or air quality.

By running on hydrogen, this split-cycle engine can eliminate CO2 emissions with lower NOx output.

Why should we use hydrogen to power our vehicles (and not just batteries)?

What is the size of the economic opportunity for hydrogen in the automotive sector, how do we make it affordable, how do we invest in it, and build it up to commercialisation?

This week the APC's CEO Ian Constance is back, being interviewed by energy and transport journalist David James, as he answers these questions and discusses the work we do to accelerate opportunities for hydrogen technology to progress.

In a £7 million deal, Glasgow City Council have ordered a fleet of 20 hydrogen fuel cell refuse collection vehicles (RCVs) from Ballard Motive Solutions.

Energy and transport journalist David James chats with Dr Richard Kemp-Harper from Ballard Motive Solutions to discuss why the UK is in a great position to “get stuck in and build a supply chain” for hydrogen zero-emission vehicles 🚛

Ballard Motive Solutions (previously known as Arcola Energy before its acquisition) began developing its hydrogen fuel cell RCV after undertaking a research project that was part-funded by the Advanced Propulsion Centre’s Automotive Transformation Fund.

The Advanced Propulsion Centre has mapped the hydrogen fuel cell value chain for vehicles. This helped to show where the UK strengths are, and any gaps for economic opportunity. In this interview Technology Trends consultant Bhavik Shah, explains more about this work and the size of the potential for hydrogen in the UK.
