@@dipladonic Thanks for your prompt reply and alerting me to this issue. I am not an engineer, so I will just have to stay alert for any coverage on this issue which expands on the importance of the "huge amount" and "tiny amount" you refer to.

Harry, correction to your comment on energy density. There are two measures of energy density for a fuel, gravimetric (the amount of energy in one kilogram) and volumetric (the amount of energy in 1 litre). Hydrogen is very good gravimetrically, 3 times better than diesel but much worse volumetrically, ~8-10 times depending on the pressure. This is probably still OK for a tractor, you will just have to fill up a bit more frequently and have a somewhat larger fuel tank. For aircraft it is a real problem due to the increased drag from the much larger fuel tanks. The other issue with hydrogen is the cost of the fuel, per kWh it is going to be significantly more expensive than electricity, although the exact price depends on who you listen to. Otherwise good video thanks.

I’ve recently ordered a hybrid car because I don’t believe a total electric car is the answer but we are governed by people who don’t have the understanding to put in place a replacement for fossil fuels which won’t damage the economy and will produce at worst the same performance or probably increased performance without increasing inflation to a point where that in itself becomes unsustainable.

There have been H2 engines in past (BMW V12?) and I still don’t understand why to use H2 as fuel. Only reason I can think of is government money for development grants. There is no real technical advantage over natural gas: 1) H2 is manufactured from natural gas 2) Natural gas ICE is nothing new and is already well-developed technology 3) NG infrastructure is already developed and is quite safe. 4) There is enough NG for decades 5) You can always manufacture NG from H2 when it runs out.

Great interview and facts about the future, brilliant harry

I'd be very curious to know how they made a hydrogen-burning engine zero emissions. My understanding is that, air being mostly nitrogen, any combustion that uses air will generate NOx emissions regardless of the fuel being burned.

Really interesting and informative video!! Absolutely amazing 👍

I do think the carbon-free future for agriculture, forestry, and heavy construction is hydrogen, but not combustion. Batteries are not a good fit for heavy equipment for exactly the reason Lord Bamford identified, but combustion has its own serious downsides around maintenance and efficiency. Fuel cells are expensive today, but economies of scale will bring them down quickly as they scale up. They are high tech devices, but not that fundamentally hard to produce. H2 combustion might be a good transition technology (if used with green H2, which the vast majority currently available isn't), but I see fuel cells as the long term solution given the vastly reduced complexity and long lifecycles of electric motors over combustion. The 40% efficiency of combustion combined with 40% efficiency of producing green hydrogen will just make the cost of fuel far too high to run the equipment. A fuel cell will be able to extract so much more useful work from the same amount of hydrogen

The issue with fuel cells is one of (a) cost - JCB's tracked digger with a fuel cell drove the price up 130% - and (b) reliability, as fuel cells require ionised distilled water and absolutely 100% effective dust filtration, so they really don't like working in fields or quarries...

I can see hydrogen working for big stuff such as planes and ships but it makes no sense for cars. You’d have to build an entirely new infrastructure for it, all the tanks need to be very high pressure, above ground at filling stations and you’ll need a new fleet of tankers trailers in addition to all the new hydrogen production. That’s going to cost a huge amount of money which will all be passed onto the consumer. And electricity is everywhere….

Hydrogen has terrible power density even at 350 bar 23kg/m3 so 220ltr tank for 5kg. Excavator 5kg H2 x 130MJ/kg = 650MJ. Diesel 45MJ/kg x 130 kg (160 lhr tank) = 5900 MJ so you to fill up 9 times for every diesel tank. Each molecule is the lightest of all elements so low energy per unit of volume

Volume isn’t really that big of an issue, for most ground based applications. The weight and cost of batteries is their issue.

A very thought provoking and interesting video, the ICE certainly has a lot of bad press based on incomplete information and assumptions. A friend and I did a shady conversion to a Vauxhall Viva to run it on butane/propane in the late 1970s, literally an evening spent converting an SU carburetor so it would meter low pressure gas. Far from an engineering marvel but it looks like the industry and governments have little interest in doing similar. There is a lot of merit in adapting existing technology, though of course carrying hydrogen at hundreds of bar pressure in a fast moving passenger car presents different challenges too. Well done with your content Harry, always educational.

oil companies attempting to sell oils and gas dressed up as hydrogen it is a scam Depending on the quality of the feedstock (natural gas, rich gases, naphtha, etc.), one ton of hydrogen produced will also produce 9 to 12 tons of CO2 However, hydrogen combustion with air produces oxides of nitrogen, known as NOx. In this way, the combustion process is much like other high temperature combustion fuels, such as kerosene, gasoline, diesel or natural gas. As such hydrogen combustion engines are not considered zero emission.

People are frightened of hydrogen by the images of the Hindenburg, up until the advent of natural gas most home had hydrogen on tap in the form of coal gas. I would sooner be in a room full of hydrogen - than a room full of petrol vapour. We need to embrace hydrogen as a fuel of the future.

Hindenburg imagery might be part of it. But there are many practical issues with hydrogen as well that makes it less suited than batteries, at least for cars. There are efficiency losses from creating electricity, using that electricity to split water, and then using the resulting hydrogen in fuel cells to again create electricity. And this process, with its inefficiencies, is still more efficient than combusting hydrogen as a mechanical force with the resulting in thermal losses. Then there are the storage and transport complexities related to hydrogen versus pumping electricity through wires and into batteries.

A really interesting video Thanks Harry and JCB

Interestingly JCB point out there is more energy by mass for hydrogen, but the issue is volume - the density and storage of hydrogen is the big challenge. In gaseous form it isn’t energy dense enough, in liquid form it needs to be maintained at impractically low temperature. Hydro carbon fuels are an incredible fuel. I think utilisation of the highly developed reliable internal combustion engine is critical, but I still think synthetic fuels are the way forward. More energy I put up front but greatly simplified logistics and hugely improved energy density, while also continuing to use ICEs. Fascinated to see how they get on with development at JCB - they are certainly driving the conversation forward! Would love to chat to you about this Harry, so much more content to be had on topic!
