But is it cheaper to build more electeolysis storage, and lots of overproduction in renewables? Well, until someone actually offers hydrogen storage commerically, there's no price. If it were cheap, we wouldn't be using steam reformation.
- adrianN 4y agoSo at least now you accept that it does scale and it's just a matter of cost. Glad we could reach an agreement.
- Manuel_D 4y agoMaybe? So far titanium electrodes are the most promising solution, but titanium is a rather precious resource.
- pfdietz 4y agoOh good grief. Titanium ore is literally dirt cheap. Titanium has been pricey because of how it's made from the ore, not because the ore is scarce. Titanium is the 9th most abundant element in the Earth's crust.
- Manuel_D 4y agoThe fact that it's scarce because it's so difficult and expensive to perform the chemical processes to isolate titanium doesn't chance the fact that it's scarce. Unless you have some novel way to drive down the cost titanium, building huge public projects using large amounts of titanium will remain infeasible.
