In a recent interview with H2 Energy News, Lennie Klebanoff, a leading scientist at Sandia National Laboratories, sheds light on hydrogen storage and fuel cell technology.
Klebanoff emphasizes that hydrogen is not inherently superior to other fuels but rather offers a different approach to energy utilization. Safety concerns surrounding hydrogen storage and fuelling stations remain paramount, with various storage methods, including compressed gas and solid-state storage, being explored.
Fuel cells have witnessed notable advancements in recent years, becoming more powerful, durable, and reliable. Klebanoff highlights their increasing suitability for transportation applications, particularly in sectors such as maritime vessels and aviation.
Klebanoff underscores the importance of considering the broader context of hydrogen fuel cell technology, including regulatory frameworks and application suitability. While hydrogen fuel cells hold promise for specific sectors, such as maritime and aviation, a nuanced approach is necessary to maximize their potential.
