Global Energy Trends
Recent Data* 70 million per year added to urban population ~100GW of solar PV is added per year Global electric car fleet ~5 million vehicles (2018) In Africa, increase from 9m to 20m w access to electricity ~70 MT/yr of H2 produced; 76% from natural gas, 23% from coal Global energy-related CO2 emissions flattened in 2019
Projections Increased role of electricity as energy vector (19% to 30% in 2040) Electricity generation to increase by ~50% by 2040 (what colour ?) By 2023, solar > 65% of Australian peak daytime demand**

France, Germany, Holland, Scandanavia and United Kingdom are first-movers with FC trains.
JR East, Japan plans to test fuel cell trains in 2021.*https://global.toyota/en/detail/15160167
Feb, 2017: Toyota sells first FC bus to Tokyo Metropolitan Govt.; > 100 buses by 2020 Olympics*.
H2 Fuel Cell bus trials began in many countries as long ago as the 1990’s; substantial developments in 2000-2010.
