  1. CW: The problem with Green hydrogen as a climate solution

    The problems of #hydrogen and #HydrogenEconomy as a #climateSolution:
    * "If produced from the current EU energy grid mix, its emissions balloon out to the equivalent of ~16.6kg of CO2 released per kg of hydrogen.

    * Chemical extraction of hydrogen produces ~11kg of CO2 equivalent emissions, ~4 times greater than electrolysis. This means with current production standards, electrolysis, the “green” option, is in fact more damaging for the environment than hydrogen produced from #FossilFuels."

    * "An unavoidable issue with hydrogen is it’s extreme leakage issues, with the world’s best storage technology still leaking at least 1% of its content per day."
