Mobility

Why H2 makes sense in mobility

H2 fuel cells are not so much a competitor to battery-electric mobility as they are a vital complement that broadens the scope of electric vehicle applications, especially for larger, heavier trucks that travel long distances and require commensurate range.

HT-PEM H2 fuel cells: The ‘Ticket to Ride’ for aviation and rotorcraft

High-temperature proton exchange membrane (HT-PEM) fuel cells are emerging as the optimal choice for aviation. Unlike low-temperature PEM (LT-PEM) fuel cells, which dominate commercial applications, HT-PEM fuel cells eliminate the system weight associated with liquid cooling, humidifiers and radiators, making them ideal for aerospace applications.

Ricardo supports local schools at Hydrogen Grand Prix South Australia State Final

Ricardo supported Brighton Secondary School and St John’s Grammar School in the 2024 H2GP South Australian State Final, a STEM competition promoting renewable energy and engineering skills. The event, developed by Horizon Educational and backed by the Australian Government, saw students design and race H2-powered remote-controlled vehicles.

Oxford University to lead new collaboration advancing zero-carbon aviation through H2
