Yes, but that's not the e2e efficiency of the hydrogen powertrain, a 120kW hydrogen stack found in Hyundai Nexo is as big as an average petrol engine and its energy efficiency is somewhere around 45%, so it's not only the hydrogen tanks and the hydrogen inside it. If we're going to analyze the volumetric and mass efficiency and compare it to a BEV, then we need to take everything into the account. Majority of hydrogen produced is made from processing oil, the energy efficiency of "green" hydrogen (electrolysis) is very poor and thus expensive. I believe there's a strong chance of using hydrogen for long haul type of transportation, however, there are a lot of misconceptions about the technology and its general practicality. |
