Back in March, CEO Andy Marsh took part in an open Quora session, where he answered questions from the public about Plug Power, hydrogen, and how innovative thinking can change the way\u00a0we approach sustainable energy in the future. The Q&A session was wildly successful, with over 26,000 views and the re-publication of some of Andy\u2019s answers to major news outlets. If you missed the Q&A, no problem\u2014we\u2019ve got you covered with a recap:<\/p>\n
Forbes<\/b><\/a> and <\/b>Apple News<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n What Is Preventing Widespread Adoption Of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n The electric mobility (e-mobility) use-case demands solutions that support high utilization and extended runtimes, perform reliably in harsh environments, fuel rapidly, and expel zero emissions. We\u2019ve already created the first commercially-viable market for fuel cell electric vehicles (FCVs) in material handling, an industry with these same demands, so we\u2019ve been working to address these obstacles for many years.<\/p>\n Some skeptics question the best use cases for FCVs. While electric vehicles win out for short-range applications, FCVs will ultimately win in asset-intensive jackpot party casino applications, such as fleet vehicles, airplanes, drones, and autonomous vehicles that require continuous runtimes and lighter weight engines. Of course, one of the biggest challenges will be creating a robust infrastructure with enough hydrogen fueling stations to keep vehicles running around the clock. However, the benefits far outweigh the difficulties, and we expect to see widespread global expansion of hydrogen stations in the coming decade.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
