A new mine site might not have any infrastructure for tens or hundreds of miles, beyond a few dirt roads. Sending tanker trucks with hydrogen would be much easier than laying a hundred miles of electric power lines over land you don't own.

Or you generate your own hydrogen on-site.

A bit surprised this article didn't mention Hyundai, who has just reaffirmed their future vision for hydrogen use and production at CES.

Considering that they have been selling their excellent Nexo hydrogen SUV for many years and that they have a massive construction+ship-building+minning industrial capacity, to me they have way better hydrogen track record and chance of succeeding than Honda or GM.

You’re surprised an article about visiting a GM/Honda factory didn’t mention a completely unrelated company?
