For cars I definitely agree. I think hydrogen might be used for planes in the future. The future for them isn't going to be electric, so if we want 0 emission planes, there isn't really a viable alternative.
- jiggawatts 5y agoStorage may be troublesome for planes. The high-pressure tanks are heavy, and the low-pressure storage tanks are even more heavy. Aircraft fuel tanks are just empty unused spaces in the wings and the like, they're practically free in terms of weight. Also, jet fuel has a nice balance energy per unit weight and energy per unit volume. Hydrogen is too skewed, it is the lightest fuel but takes a huge volume. For planes, it would make more sense to synthesise jet fuel from atmospheric CO2, or CO2 captured from industrial exhaust.
