China tops world in hydrogen stations, fueling a clean energy future
China is at the forefront of the global hydrogen race, boasting the world's largest network of hydrogen refueling stations. With its ambitious clean energy goals and substantial investments, the country is paving the way for a future powered by this zero-emission fuel.

It's gonna be real funny when all the rich assholes who invested in Lithium mines lose all their momey when Hydrogen Fuel Cells and Sodium Ion Batteries become the mainstream.
China is also developing stuff like sodium-ion batteries that could end up being a lot cheaper than lithium as well.
Yeah I saw some demos on bilibili. They're still not quite as good as lithium but similar enough that any fears of a "lithium shortage" during a time of crisis is basically wishful thinking now lmao.
Exactly, and it's also worth noting that longer ranges you can get with lithium only matter for private cars. A lot of transportation such as buses, trucks, and so on, can run on fixed routes, so you just need a battery big enough to handle that. Incidentally, this is another argument in favor of public transport over private vehicle ownership.
Need more sodium? Suck it out of the sea!
Extract salt from the ocean, extract sodium from salt. Turn sodium into batteries, throw batteries into the ocean. That's the beautiful circle of life
You act like they won't pressure US congress to ban the "dangerous" new battery technology so they can maintain their monopoly.
Sleeper builds in 2034: "No officer this car doesn't have any of those godless commie hydrogen fuel cells. It's all good old Nevada Lithium. I just paid for the Tesla™ Pro Maxx XL 2 advanced battery discharge™ service package is all."
"I only get 3 miles to the gallon officer, I swear! Only good old American wastefulness in this vehicle!"
lol that's not gonna happen because there'll be no need for cars
all US workers will just be in prison insteadIn Prison they make you lease golf carts from GM that you need to drive 3 miles from your cell to the work site.
cue that clip from My Dinner With Andre
The US sold an advanced battery license to china because they didn’t take it seriously. China reached out to the American scientists and engineers who developed it to help guide their production. Now Americans can’t afford to produce it like china and china refuses to sell it to Americans despite it being a requirement for the license lol
Reminds me of the ottoman empire banning printing
slaves to Big Scribe
Excuse my ignorance but is this the sodium found in desalination sludge? If so does that they can reuse that sludge rather than dumping it?
