Shell Is Immediately Closing All Of Its California Hydrogen Stations | The oil giant is one of the big players in hydrogen globally, but even it can’t make its operations work here.::The oil giant is one of the big players in hydrogen globally, but even it can’t make its operations work here. All seven of its California stations will close immediately.
Spoken like someone who’s never seen a land remediation project at a former gas station site.
It’s only simple on paper.
Considering that they need to go under land remediation anyway… I fail to see how it’s a problem to do it just a little earlier and keep the land/infrastructure in use.
Ok but now you’re moving the goalposts. Before you just said it was a simple conversion. It’s just not, full stop.
And now suddenly it’s moot because they have to do it anyway, cost and difficulty notwithstanding.
I remain, regrettably, firmly unconvinced that the average service station franchisee is going to be incentivized to undertake this.
I didn’t move any goalpost. Any gas station that being decommission in favor of electric vehicles… or being decommissioned in general will have to undergo that process. This will happen REGARDLESS of the hydrogen station being put in place.
