Hydrogen Dreams to Nightmare: How a Norwegian Tech Failure Derailed California's Green Transport Revolution
California, Wednesday, 20 November 2024.
In a stunning revelation that shakes the future of clean transport, California’s ambitious hydrogen car programme has ground to a halt. Court documents expose how Nel ASA’s faulty fuelling stations, sold with false promises, left thousands of eco-conscious drivers stranded and Toyota’s flagship Mirai owners filing lawsuits. As Shell abandons its hydrogen network and Chevron backs away, this technological misfire raises crucial questions about rushing green innovations to market.
Green Hydrogen's Next Leap: Why Standards Matter More Than Ever
Abu Dhabi, Wednesday, 20 November 2024.
Southern Mediterranean Countries are poised to revolutionise Europe’s green energy future, but there’s a catch. I’ve found that without unified standards, this golden opportunity could slip away. Think of it as building a massive Lego set without instructions - it just won’t work. The upcoming EU-Mediterranean collaboration could unlock billions in clean energy potential, making this the perfect moment to get involved in tomorrow’s energy revolution.
The Hydrogen Revolution: UCF's $3.5M Gamble on Clean Trucking
Orlando, Tuesday, 19 November 2024.
