Just Have a Think20 minEnglish

Why watch it?

With JCB, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz and Toyota announcing new hydrogen investments, Just Have a Think asks whether hydrogen vehicles deserve a second look while battery electric sales keep growing. Drawing on the views of energy experts Paul Martin and Michael Barnard, it examines the physics, economics, environmental impact and infrastructure hurdles of fuel cells and hydrogen combustion engines, and asks why governments and industry keep funding them. The perspective is mainly critical, so pair it with more optimistic sources for balance.
