Will your bus run on hydrogen? Is hydrogen the right green fuel for transit systems? [Video]

Your city transit likely has its own repair shops, fueling stations, etc. If you want a hydrogen vehicle you would rely on someone else to build fueling stations, repair shops, etc. In theory, a city is in a better position to be an early adopter of hydrogen than you.

Why are we not seeing more cities adopt hydrogen buses? Looking at the costs and reliability there are some big red flags.

Maybe if we turned to another green fuel solution we would see fewer issues and faster adoption?

Ammonia can be made with green electricity from water and air. Ammonia is cheap to store in simple tanks. Ammonia is energy-dense and flammable.

Ammonia looks like a massively scalable green fuel solution. By massively scaleable, I literally mean this could replace all fuels, petrol, diesel, and natural gas power plants. (Unfortunately, I think we would still use propane in BBQs)
