God imagine if we kept gas prices high via a carbon tax how fast we would have reached energetic indipendence
“green” hydrogen is a waste of energy, however you make it. 20% energy is lost in the process anyway. I wished the world just dumped this hydrogen thing and moved on focusing on nuclear fusion or better solar panels instead
Nice. If just we could start to increase wind, water, sun energy production and produce hydrogen with excess energy we’d have a pretty good system going.
This is actually great to here as green hydrogen holds a lot of potential for the future as H2 is one of the few environmentally friendly solutions to combat climate change in heavy mass transit(commercial aviation and long distance hauliage) where batteries just don’t cut it(yet). Although there are several drawbacks associated with green hydrogen synthesis such as the energy loss associated with storage and the lack of related infrastructure this news is still good as it means that for the present time, one of the major roadblocks in this area has been reduced which will hopefully mean this sector may see some development in the short term.
What is green hydrogen? The manufacturing process eats up a stupid amount of electricity and purified water (which means even more electricity) – the total process is not even net 0, let alone net positive.
Netherlands is currently in the process of building several green hydrogen plants and a massive hydrogen backbone stretching all the way from North to the south and connecting Belgium (Antwerp) and Germany ( Hamburg).
The existing natural gas network will be partially used for this. Which is interesting.

Hydrogen cars are the future
Fossil sources pricees doesn’t make hidrogen (green or not) a viable solution for transportation.
wtf is “green” hydrogen
