    Boeing's Fuel Cell Demonstrator, a two-seat Dimona, flew three flights in Spain—representing the first piloted airplane in history to use power generated solely by hydrogen fuel cells. Boeing's Phantom Eye high-altitude and long-endurance uncrewed aircraft flew several flights in California powered by liquid hydrogen.

    FMG had plans to make 15 million tonnes of green hydrogen a year but has cut back on that plan as of today.
    In China 2/3's of EV's are now cheaper that petrol cars and that is where its all going now.

    FMG claim they are not cutting back on Green Hydrogen. They have sacked 700 workers on that project today.

    Forrest used to say all cars would go green hydrogen and FMG would make billions out of it.
    Things change as technology advances. Battery technology has become very cheap now and
    that is where its all going.

    In China 2/3 of EV's are now cheaper than petrol cars.
    That is a game changing moment in car history.

    Green hydrogen still quite expensive to make. Aircraft and ships might go that way or as batteries advance
    they might decide to go batteries. The two emerging technologies will have a battle to see who is right in the next 10 years.

    FMG seem t o be getting into EV technology themselves.

    Some plane companies like Boeing are pursuing green hydrogen aircraft and also doing electric aircraft.
    The way battery technology is advancing at a very fast pace and getting far cheaper maybe that is where we are heading.
    There are green hydrogen powered ships as well as electric battery generated ships.

    Airbus also going green hydrogen and also electric.

    So to sum it all up. Green hydrogen for cars not going to happen as they all going EV's.
    Fuel for planes seems to be green hydrogen or electric with batteries. Maybe some other technology will supersede
    both of them.

    I think we live in exciting times.
