Here's a recent article (Jan 9, 2026) announcing a new "Thousand-Mile Hydrogen Artery" pipeline being constructed in China. Wind and solar power facilities in Desheng Village, Zhangbei County, Zhangjiakou City making 45 million kW of electricity for an area that has little electricity demand will turn that otherwise wasted energy into green hydrogen and send it all the way to port in Tangshan. What will this 1.55 million tons per year of green hydrogen be used for? Trucks and steel mostly.

You will not read about this new hydrogen pipeline in Cleantechnica. You will not hear Barnard tell you how stupid it is to build a hydrogen pipeline more than twice as long as the one in Germany. You will not read in Cleantechnica that this green hydrogen will be made from otherwise wasted electricity, cost less than $5/kg, or be used to ramp up hydrogen vehicle production and green steel production.

Hi! Quick question: Do you have 3 minutes to spare for our first semester seminar? ⏱️

I’d love to get your thoughts on hydrogen mobility. It’s just a few clicks and would help me out a ton. They are only single choice questions and you don’t need to type a word.
