    Reach Stackers Look Like A Hydrogen Use Case. Ports Are Buying Batteries. - CleanTechnica (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    A reach stacker looks like exactly the sort of machine batteries should struggle with. Large models can weigh more than 70 tonnes before picking anything up, then lift loaded shipping containers weighing another 40 tonnes or more several rows deep and several containers high. They work in busy freight terminals where equipment availability matters and where nobody wants an environmental experiment interfering with container movements. Yet the market is developing in the opposite direction from t

    Norway Found A Real Bus Cyber Risk. It Didn’t Show It Was Chinese. - CleanTechnica (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    When Norwegian transit authority Ruter put a Chinese Yutong electric bus through cybersecurity testing inside an isolated mine, the investigation started with two very different concerns. One was geopolitical: could the bus act as a visual-surveillance platform near sensitive facilities such as Lutvann, home to Norway’s intelligence service? The other was technological: could a manufacturer with remote diagnostics and over-the-air software access reach systems important enough to interfere with

    Nate Hagens Keeps The Doom And Moves The Bottleneck - CleanTechnica (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Nate Hagens has spent most of his intellectual career inside a forecasting tradition that expected physical resource constraints to force industrial societies into contraction. He was a major contributor to The Oil Drum and eventually its managing editor, while the nonprofit that now produces The Great Simplification grew directly from that same institutional ecosystem. The interesting question is no longer whether Hagens sincerely believes modern economies face energy, resource and ecological l

    Leipzig’s Hydrogen Garbage Trucks Fail The Tuesday Test - CleanTechnica (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Garbage collection is not a technology demonstration. Municipalities need trucks that leave the depot every working morning, finish predictable routes, operate compactors through hundreds of stops and come back ready to do it again. That is why refuse collection has become such a useful test of competing zero-emission drivetrains. Battery-electric garbage trucks increasingly look ordinary. Hydrogen trucks have spent years demonstrating that they can collect garbage. Leipzig is now showing the ha

    Ports Need More Capital As Their Bulk Cargo Base Shrinks - CleanTechnica (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Ports are being asked to make infrastructure decisions that will last thirty, forty or fifty years while several of the assumptions that paid for their existing infrastructure are changing at the same time. Ships are getting larger, requiring deeper channels, larger cranes and more capable tug fleets. Climate disruption is increasing the cost of keeping ports and their hinterland connections reliable. Ports also have to decarbonize their own operations as regulators and customers put more weight
