In this week's hydrogen news we've got clean garbage trucks a deployment update and pipeline tests hi I'm Steve Hill CEO of new hydrogen with this week's top hydrogen news
First up heison and New Way trucks unveiled America's first hydrogen powered garbage truck at the Las Vegas waste Expo I'm not making that up this high-tech trash truck aims to eliminate emissions offering a cleaner alternative to diesel and natural gas trucks featuring heon's efficient fuel cells the vehicle promises substantial environmental benefits and will be demoed in California with San Francisco based waste and recycling hauler Recology hats off to anyone trying to clean up the Streets of
San Francisco today thank you next hydrogen's deployment is at a Tipping Point according to a growing number of experts a report this week from digital Journal observes that quote on one hand there are improvements such as a growing and gradually maturing pipeline of projects and supportive decarbonization regulation on the other hand there are issues such as cost increases project delays continued regulatory uncertainty and financing costs as we've said before on this program cheap green hydrogen is
The only real solution to decarbonization the market is maturing and preparing for the future but the last puzzle piece will be solving how to make green hydrogen cost competitive with dirty fuel sources or hydrogen derived from fossil fuels new hydrogen may have the solution and I'll explain that in just 20 seconds speaking speaking of removing barriers SoCal Gas is planning to blend hydrogen into natural gas lines in Orange Cove a small town in California as part
Of its effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions the project involves mixing up to 5% hydrogen with natural gas to power household appliances hydrogen blending the process of injecting hydrogen into natural gas pipelines is California's Innovative solution for decarbonizing energy already proven safe globally lending leverages existing infrastructure while providing cleaner fuel to homes and businesses with key demonstrations underway a Statewide 20% blend could slash emissions equal to 1 million cars the project will run in parallel with
A second and even more ambitious project on the UC Irvine campus hydrogen will be produced using solar power and electrolyzers which is understandable given it's the best tech we have today but it is a hard sale given the high operating costs hydrogen's thermal ThermoLoop technology which is now under development at one of the top Material Science departments in the world at UC Santa Barbara may be the answer get the detail sales atne hydrogen. Comom Thanks for watching and we'll see you again next week
