Hyundai Accelerates Supply of Hydrogen City Buses Targeting 400 Units in Seoul

5. Since 1998? You don't say? That's only 22 years after...

...the founding on The International Journal of Hydrogen Energy began publication.

The Apollo missions relied on hydrogen fuel cell (The oxygen tank, not the hydrogen tank, blew up on Apollo 13.) so whether the technology for fuel cells had been around for a long time is not a question. The question is thermodynamics. Now matter how hydrogen is made on Earth industrially it destroys exergy.

There may be, in theory conditions where hydrogen could capture exergy, but this would involve high temperature nuclear reactors that have only been built as research tools, mostly over half a century ago.

Half a century of hydrogen bullshit hasn't changed the laws of physics. Bullshit can't change the laws of physics.

People are always publishing papers to get around the issue of the platinum requirements of fuel cells. There may even be commercial examples of some that do. Since I know and respect the laws of thermodynamics with respect to hydrogen bullshit, I don't pay all that much attention to fuel cell technology or its cost.

I do know that the history of hydrogen bullshit is long, abd goes back way beyond 1998. Mostly hydrogen bullshit in current times is to greenwash fossil fuels.
