As the car industry’s largest hybrid pusher, Toyota says it is better positioned to just buy credits to close the EPA gap rather than “waste” money on BEVs, its CEO said.
And can be used for hydrogen fuel cells regardless.
What is your specific stance?
As I’ve stated, I don’t really care about hydrogen fuel cells, but you keep repeating vague information as if this is a standard debate that everybody has defined and understands what you’re talking about.
What is your point here?
Do you just not understand that hydrogen is abundant, or do you not understand that it can be extracted from multiple sources for hydrogen fuel cells?
I’m leaning toward the latter because of how confused you sound about multiple sources of hydrogen fuel.
Hydrogen derived from natural gas can not be used in fuel cells. Only hydrolysis hydrogen is viable.
It is one of ‘many’ reasons why hydrogen fuel will never be a thing.
Along with Hydrogen seeping through everything

The energy efficiency loss to convert Solar/Wind/Nuc -> Hydrogen -> Mechanical or Solar/Wind/Nuc -> Hydrogen -> Electrical -> Mechanical
Will never be cost effective compared to Solar/Wind/Nuc -> Electrical(batt) -> Mechanical
Hydrogen has been known to man for a 1000 years, and yet
Gobal International WARS have been fought in the past century along with massive geopolitical maneuvering and trillions upon trillions of $$$ spent on the energy sector.
Do you really thing we’d be spending the $$$ we do for deep sea drilling if hydrogen was even close to being a viable resource?
No new technology has been developed that makes hydrogen useful. No. Fuel Cells are not it.
There just isn’t enough energy gained by connecting Hydrogen -> Oxygen no matter what process you come up with.
Unless we find a way to fuse hydrogen together, hydrogen is a dead end and always has been.
Here’s several methods companies can produce viable hydrogen from natural gas:

As well as a few other materials:

Nope those all contain trace hydrogen sulfide.

My point is simple.

SMR, a process by which hydrogen is derived from natural gas, accounts for 95 percent of today’s refined hydrogen that can be used in fuel cells.

There are new hydrogen processing tech being worked on right now.
There are other ways of processing hydrogen.
Do you mean green hydrogen?
Because you keep saying “Hydrogen derived from natural gas can not be used in fuel cells” but must of hydrogen today is refined from natural gas.
I’m not big on hydrogen fuel cells, but your claim strays pretty far from the mark.
