Actually the story is pretty pessimistic about widespread hydrogen use, but says that there are emerging niche use cases:
"Instead, hydrogen can help in niche markets, involving complex chemical processes and high temperatures that are hard to achieve with electricity"
The article title is a little misleading, although as misleading titles go, it's not that bad.
- ZeroGravitas 5y agoI was specifically talking about green hydrogen use for a specific range of applications that it is suited for and has no bettwr options. We already use generic hydrogen for things on a wide scale, so that makes the headline basically meaningless. And niche in this case means about the same size as nuclear or hydro power at their peak and working in conjunction with other techs to completely decarbonize the world. Again, the lack of nuance is a problem inherent in the medium, but they gave it a try.
