But EVs weren\u2019t always at the forefront of the Clean Energy Revolution. Indeed, back in 2003, it was all about&nbsp;<strong>hydrogen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his 2003 State of the Union address, then-President George W. Bush said, \u201cthe first car driven by a child born today could be powered by&nbsp;<strong><em>hydrogen<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;and [be]&nbsp;<strong><em>pollution-free.<\/em><\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was half-right. There are a lot of pollution-free cars out there today. And many children born back in 2003 are driving them. But for the most part, they\u2019re powered by electric batteries, not hydrogen fuel cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where did it go wrong?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the words of Matthew Blieske,&nbsp;<strong>Shell<\/strong>\u2019s (<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/investorplace.com\/stock-quotes\/shel-stock-quote\/\"><strong><u>SHEL<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/strong>) global hydrogen product manager, \u201c\u2026&nbsp;<strong>there was always something missing<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>The History of Hydrogen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the early 2000s, hydrogen fuel cells were hyped up for their ability to reduce energy dependence. That was at a time when crude oil prices were north of $50 and rising. But falling oil prices in the late 2000s and early 2010s sapped some of this hype. And it dramatically slowed the Clean Energy Revolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then the world started getting serious about decarbonization again in the back half of the 2010s. And hydrogen was but one of&nbsp;<em>many<\/em>&nbsp;zero-emission energy sources out there, alongside solar, wind, and electric batteries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And relative to those other energy sources, hydrogen has proven to be&nbsp;<strong><em>less efficient<\/em><\/strong>and&nbsp;<strong><em>more expensive<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s because hydrogen, while the most abundant element in the universe, doesn\u2019t exist in its pure form on Earth. So, producing it requires a complex, multi-step process. And that results in significant electricity loss and requires tons of added infrastructure \u2013 and dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not to mention, to offset these extra costs, most companies have turned to producing hydrogen from cheap natural gas. That means that most isn\u2019t zero-emissions at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Net-net, hydrogen has gone from being the epicenter of the Clean Energy Revolution to just a niche afterthought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that\u2019s all about to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hydrogen Economy is on the cusp of an enormous tipping point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the first time in its choppy history,&nbsp;<strong><em>the time has come for this clean energy source to reign<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>The Drivers Have Arrived<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As every country works toward a net-zero emissions target, the global political stage is set for mass decarbonization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Economies of scale have led to the cost of hydrogen fuel cells dropping 60% over the past decade. Deloitte expects those costs to drop below electric battery and combustion engine costs within just a few years\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Technological advancements and falling renewable energy costs have led to a new era of scalable \u201cGreen Hydrogen\u201d production. And now it can be cost-effectively produced from renewable energy sources,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/investorplace.com\/hypergrowthinvesting\/2020\/12\/solar-stocks-to-buy-green-recovery\/\">like solar<\/a>&nbsp;and wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words,&nbsp;<strong><u>all the drivers have finally shown up to the party at the same time<\/u><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the words of Blieske: \u201c[In the past] there was a policy missing, or the technology wasn\u2019t quite ready, or people were not so serious about decarbonization.&nbsp;<em>We don\u2019t see those barriers anymore<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With those barriers removed, the Hydrogen Economy will tip into its long overdue renaissance in the 2020s. And that will create what&nbsp;<strong>Morgan Stanley<\/strong>&nbsp;(<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/investorplace.com\/stock-quotes\/ms-stock-quote\/\"><strong><u>MS<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/strong>) sees as an&nbsp;<strong>$11 trillion<\/strong>&nbsp;market in the coming decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img src=\"https:\/\/investorplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/hydrogen-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"Projected global demand for hydrogen chart.\" class=\"wp-image-1796222\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: InvestorPlace<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where will all this hypergrowth come from?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll see it in&nbsp;<em>high-usage<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>long-range<\/em>&nbsp;energy and transportation markets. That\u2019s where hydrogen\u2019s advantages over electric batteries shine brightest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>The Final Word on Hydrogen Stocks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You see, when it comes to cost, efficiency, safety, and public roads infrastructure, battery electricity wins out. To that extent, battery electricity will likely be the dominant clean energy source for&nbsp;<strong>passenger cars<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>last-mile delivery vans<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But thanks to its unmatched energy density, hydrogen outplays battery electricity when it comes to range, recharging times, and emissions. So, in heavy-usage and long-range situations, hydrogen is best in class. Therefore, those fuel cells will likely be the dominant clean energy source for&nbsp;<strong>industry<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>stationary&nbsp;<\/strong>and<strong>&nbsp;cross-country haul<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think forklifts in warehouses, trucks that travel across the country, and ships that sail across oceans. And what about data centers that have to be \u201calways on\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, hydrogen fuel cells are on the cusp of disrupting those industries over the next decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who is at the forefront of this multi-trillion-dollar disruption?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Plug Power&nbsp;<\/strong>(<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/investorplace.com\/stock-quotes\/plug-stock-quote\/\">PLUG<\/a><\/strong>) is. The company started out supplying hydrogen fuel cells for forklifts to warehouse operators like&nbsp;<strong>Walmart<\/strong>&nbsp;(<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/investorplace.com\/stock-quotes\/wmt-stock-quote\/\"><strong><u>WMT<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/strong>) and&nbsp;<strong>Amazon<\/strong>&nbsp;(<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/investorplace.com\/stock-quotes\/amzn-stock-quote\/\"><strong><u>AMZN<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/strong>). Now Plug Power is morphing into an all-in-one, vertically integrated powerhouse at the epicenter of the Hydrogen Economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Needless to say, Plug Power stock is a long-term winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But other names are also piquing interest in this hypergrowth space\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like&nbsp;<strong>Ballard Power<\/strong>&nbsp;(<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/investorplace.com\/stock-quotes\/bldp-stock-quote\/\">BLDP<\/a><\/strong>), who\u2019s making hydrogen fuel cells for buses, trucks, and trains. And&nbsp;<strong>Bloom Energy<\/strong>&nbsp;(<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/investorplace.com\/stock-quotes\/be-stock-quote\/\">BE<\/a><\/strong>) is creating energy \u201cboxes\u201d powered by green hydrogen to help replace grid power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With these hypergrowth stocks, you have three of the highest-quality plays on the multi-trillion-dollar Hydrogen Revolution. And they\u2019re three stocks that could easily rise several hundred percent in the 2020s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hypergrowth investors should take a good hard look at these emerging hydrogen stocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buy these 3 hypergrowth stocks to play the hydrogen economy\u2019s $11 TRILLION breakout Technological advancements and falling renewable energy costs<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11126,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[254,3421],"tags":[3449,888,3425],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11124"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11124"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11124\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11129,"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11124\/revisions\/11129"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/11126"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11124"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11124"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11124"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
