TWO THUMBS UP TO JOHN BANKA, UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO HYDROGEN FUEL CELLS
TWO THUMBS UP TO JOHN BANKA, UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO -HYDROGN FUEL CELLS Below are John Banka's suggstions re: renewable energy I t’s time to focus on a new industrial strategy on fuel cells Toronto StarJune 10, 2020 John Banka, MASc, University of Toronto " Here is a strategy that the Ontario government can pursue: The days of vehicles powered by the internal combustion engine (ICE) are numbered; perhaps two decades remain. Batteries will not replace ICEs, at least not in a cold climate, because of cold weather range impairment. Nor will hydrogen in either gaseous or liquid form (work), because of handling and distribution issues. Remember the historic Hindenburg disaster? Hydrogen fuel cells using liquid anhydrous ammonia as the fuel are a better fit for Canada and the world. Liquid ammonia has a considerably higher hydrogen density than compressed hydrogen at the same pressure and is much safer to handle; the hydrogen can be liberated through electrolysis
