Honda to start producing new hydrogen fuel cell system co-developed with GM

TOKYO, Feb 2 (Reuters) - Japan's Honda Motor Co (7267.T) said it will start producing a new hydrogen fuel cell system jointly developed with General Motors Co (GM.N) this year and gradually step up sales this decade, in a bid to expand its hydrogen business.

Honda will target annual sales of around 2,000 units of the new system in the middle of this decade, the company said on Thursday, aiming to boost that to 60,000 units per year in 2030

The Japanese carmaker is seeking to expand the use of its new system not only for its own fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), but also commercial vehicles such as heavy trucks, as stationary power stations and in construction machinery.

Honda will start production of the hydrogen fuel cell system through its joint venture with GM this year, Honda senior managing executive director Shinji Aoyama told reporters during a company event in Tokyo.

Nuclear plus hydrogen would spell the end of the left's crusade to use global warming to control the masses. Obviously, they will fight against it.

Volkswagen Is Working On a Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle With 1,243 Miles of Range

Despite the automotive industry making a big push toward battery electric vehicles (BEV) for the foreseeable future, there is an argument that if we (humans) really want to fight climate change, BEVs alone won't get the job done. Some experts believe that it will take a combination of low-emission and zero-emission transportation tech to make a meaningful difference vehicles' impact on our climate. That's why several automakers are still exploring hydrogen power.

Honda pushes ahead with hydrogen fuel cell EVs, announcing plans for expansion

Japanese automaker Honda has announced that it is expanding its hydrogen business alongside a promise to “continue electrifying” its line-up of vehicles.

Honda held a press briefing on its hydrogen business initiatives late last week in which the company confirmed it will “not only continue electrifying its products but also take a proactive approach to increase the use of hydrogen as an energy carrier and strive to expand its hydrogen business.”

Core among Honda’s ambitions is the further advancement of the next-generation fuel cell system being developed in partnership with American automotive giant General Motors (GM).

Specifically, Honda aims to more than double the durability and reduce the cost to one-third that of the hydrogen fuel cell system installed in the 2019 Honda Clarity Fuel Cell, which offered a driving range of around 580 kilometres.

After achieving these improvements in partnership with GM, Honda will plough on with its research into future fuel cell technologies with the goal of doubling the durability and halving the cost of the newly reduced levels.

Honda is also planning to begin external sales of its fuel cell system, with a goal of selling 2,000 units each year. By 2030, however, Honda is hoping to expand sales to 60,000 units, and to “a few hundred thousand” units per year by the second half of the 2030s.

As part of Honda’s goals of reaching carbon neutrality for all its products and corporate activities by 2050 – which includes a target of “zero environmental impact” across the entire product lifecycle – Honda is positioning hydrogen alongside electricity as two of the “high-potential energy carriers”.

Relying on renewable energy to generate green hydrogen – a decision which, according to Honda, makes “it less susceptible to fluctuations in power generation due to seasonality and weather conditions” – Honda is looking at transporting green hydrogen by land, sea, and pipeline.

Honda is also planning to expand the applications of its fuel cell systems beyond Honda FCEVs to various internal and external applications. Planned applications include heavy-duty trucks and commercial vehicles, stationary power stations, and construction machinery.

Yet another attempt at a hydrogen car, this time funded by Government Motors.

Hydrogen manufacture is mostly done by cracking it from a carbon based fuel (often natural gas), leaving CO2 as a waste product. You know...that magick gas that is blamed for somehow warming the Earth.
To manufacture hydrogen by using electrolysis will require more electricity than charging an EV will use. Both types of cars are extremely wasteful of energy.
