  1. I looked up the above paper because I am curious about how direct air capture (DAC) used with renewable energy could create synthetic e-fuels. "E-fuels could extend the reach of wind and solar electricity to potentially all end-use
    sectors" according to this paper "Potential and risks of hydrogen-based e-
    fuels in climate change mitigation" publications.pik-potsdam.de/re . It walks through the energy efficiency of using e-fuels versus direct electrification.

    Generally direct electrification is better, but for high intensity applications it will make sense to use synthetic fuels. Currently e-fuels are much more expensive than fossil fuels, so it is important to support e-fuel development now, while making sure that it is not a distraction from direct electrification.

  2. This piece in Dutch newspaper @nrc_nl is pretty interesting on Shell's new #GreenHydrogen facility under construction in #Rotterdam.

    Especially in light of discussions yesterday about #Greenland
