1. Green hydrogen today is less than 0.1% of the total hydrogen produced. The forecast is green steel will represent 0.25% of total steel production by 2030.

2. Finally an article about hydrogen being used in a role where it makes sense to use hydrogen.

   I just hope there’s a pathway to see this be more than a one-off project.

3. With sub penny a watt solar and storage, green steel will be cheaper.

4. Oh damn that is a great use for hydrogen not often talked about. EVs are better for personal transportation and backup energy for homes. Heavy industry and performance vehicles probably need hydrogen till we get the battery revolution fully under way.

5. These poor workers…

6. Only reason fossil fuel is not been taken over by green energy is the hundreds of millions being spent by big oil hiring lobbyist buying off senators.
