Hydrogen Fuel News

JANUARY 25, 2024

Honda recently released its 2024 outlook for its passenger vehicle business and underscored that it still sees a strong future for hydrogen cars, even though its only model powered by H2 was discontinued three years ago because of a lack of fueling infrastructure and overall demand. The first will be the Prologue SUV, a new electric vehicle.

Analysis from Thrust Carbon urges aviation sector to make up front investments that rapidly scale the carbon offsetting market to the scale needed to cover its emissions. With the sector raking in $25.9bn of post-tax profits in 2019, the price of carbon neutrality is therefore "more than affordable" for the sector, it concludes.
