If they ever convert all the coast-to-coast tractor trailers out there to hydrogen, all the major city buses to hydrogen, maybe local deliver trucks too, how much petroleum would that save? Can't find an easy answer.
- refurb 4y agoWhat is a major source of hydrogen? Oh yeah, petroleum! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_production https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_production

Could they require all that to be captured instead and turned into fuel? https://www.npr.org/sections/krulwich/2013/01/16/169511949/a-mysterious-patch-of-light-shows-up-in-the-north-dakota-dark https://www.npr.org/sections/krulwich/2013/01/16/169511949/a... especially considering the burnoff makes people sick many miles away https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0047272722000032 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00472...
- refurb 4y agoSure, but those flares are a tiny fraction of the oil that would be required to power a hydrogen economy.
- julienreszka 4y agoYou can make hydrogen through electrolysis from any source of energy.
