Yep.

Honda had home fueling stations and home hydrogen power in 2007.

What happened? As you would think that I would think a greedy conspiracy was at play.

That's why we have never seen gas turbine engines in private autos.

It is not because turbines are less efficient. If they were less efficient then why would they be the engines of choice for vehicles that fly?

The people that own the controllable energy sources want to milk every last dime they can out of their cash cow.

A New Direction in Hydrogen Refueling

SimpleFuel is an on-site hydrogen generation and dispensing appliance that uses water and electricity to produce high purity fuel cell-grade hydrogen. SimpleFuel can dispense fast "opportunity" fills or full fills to 700 bar automotive pressures.

The initial SimpleFuel product line is designed to target several small-scale hydrogen dispensing markets, including home and local/distributed refueling of consumer FCEVs, refueling for fuel cell vehicle fleets, and industrial fuel cell vehicle refueling.

Hydrogen to the House

Honda Hydrogen House

Update Jul 11 2017

All the pages that reference Honda's Solar Powered and Natural Gas Conversion to Hydrogen units is now been removed.

They were there in 2007.  What happened?

The UK is setting up testing of having Hydrogen gas pumped directly to houses.

I have he understanding that he same pipes that are used for natural gas cannot be used to pump pure hydrogen. They currently have 3 methods of mixing hydrogen and natural gas, then extracting the hydrogen at the end of the line.

Also, there is the consideration of using pipes that could accommodate both types of gases when doing new or replacement construction.

They also have devices that will convert natural gas to hydrogen at the house location. Honda had one back in  2007, the web page for that device is no longer there.

Hydrogen and electricity at the end user end of things is where we need to be.

We can convert/eliminate the back end supply as we go. 

JAPAN: TARGET OF 40,000 HYDROGEN VEHICLES IN 2020

This Article copied from the Quebec Times

Eleven companies have recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding to promote the spin-off of hydrogen distribution stations in Japan. Some of the Japanese automotive industry – including Nissan and Toyota – are among the signatories, which also rank as major financial and energy groups.

40,000 new hydrogen vehicles by 2020

This Memorandum of Understanding is an extension of the ” Strategic Roadmap for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells” agreed by the Japanese government last year. This plan includes the construction of nearly 160 public hydrogen distribution stations by 2020. It also aims to put about 40,000 new fuel cell vehicles on the road by this time. The targets of political leaders are significant: the Japanese fleet of fuel cell cars is currently limited to some 2,000 units. As for hydrogen fueling stations, there are only 90 of them in a country with more than 61 million passenger cars (see also Tokyo, the world capital of the hydrogen car ).

800 hydrogen filling stations within 10 years

To meet the expectations set out in the government’s roadmap, partner companies want to build a common company. A strategy that aims to reduce costs, but above all, to allow the creation of a large number of distribution stations in a tight timeframe. And this, in order to elicit a positive chain reaction of the Japanese consumers towards these vehicles. According to the Nikkei, one of the major dailies of reference in Japan, the Japanese government is currently considering an expansion of the objectives of the roadmap. The Nikkei talks about a project to create 800 new distribution stations in the next ten years. According to the paper, the country’s political leaders also want the hydrogen fleet to reach 800,000 units by 2030 (see our detailed Toyota Mirai test).

Well, there is one thing good about living in 2017, it is having the Internet and Smartphones everywhere. With these two things we can find out where our fueling station of choice is and if it is open.

California has 30. Doesn't sound like many but you can go the length of the state and not run out of Hydrogen fuel.

With Internet maps and your smartphone or tablet computer you should be able to find a fueling spot if you are in California.

They say they are going to have Hydrogen fueling stations running between New York and Boston soon.

I think there should be some kind of program to get them along our freeway system starting with the busiest routes and then filtering down to the less busy ones.

I could certainly see the routes between major cities being filled.

Fueling with Hydrogen

L.A. to Vegas
New York to Chicago
Detroit to Chicago
Indy to Chicago
I-75 From Upper Michigan to Southern Florida
I-40
I-80
etc.

I still have not found out what happened to Hondas two home hydrogen filling stations.

They had one that was solar powered and one that would convert natural gas to hydrogen and allow you to fill up at home. I figure this for a big-time conspiracy.

I will report back when I know more.

I still think that being able to fill at your dealership should work and the dealer allowing a once a week fill up via home delivery.

The political types will talk about limiting carbon dioxide, but if you will notice that they do not talk about the filthy air we are breathing from the burning of hydrocarbon fuels. I have been breathing this stuff my whole life and am sick of it. I just wonder how I might feel if I did not have to breathe this air.
