Hydrogen touted as fuel of the future

Hydrogen will transform the transport industry and could eventually replace natural gas, Arup's environment and resources leader Mike Straughton says. 

The number of hydrogen-powered cars on the
 road will number into the millions by 2030.
 
Speaking at the Australian Financial Review's National Energy Summit, Mr Straughton outlined the increasing importance of hydrogen as a future energy source, saying it had "moved beyond the Hindenburg".

Read Cole Latimer’s story in today’s Melbourne  Age - “Hydrogen touted as fuel of the future.”


(Sadly the conversation about transport still seems to revolve the idea of privately owned vehicles - a future that is both sustainable and equal is about public transport and that is either mass public transport or autonomous vehicles that are also public, but respond to direction from our smart-phones for private use of any sort of outing, be that one-way trips to or from work, social outings or shopping. The private car has had is “Kodak moment” - Robert McLean)
