Hydrogen is a fake green fuel pushed my the petroleum industry. It is 100% not a viable fuel because it’s just oil with extra steps.
The recent astroturfing campaign is funded by petroleum companies.
1) the only reasonable way to make it is to crack it from petroleum
2) it’s hard to contain and ship so the infrastructure needs are substantial
3) nobody who knows about or cares about renewables takes it seriously.
- akolbe 4y agoThanks, good to know. "Thermal processes for hydrogen production typically involve steam reforming, a high-temperature process in which steam reacts with a hydrocarbon fuel to produce hydrogen. Many hydrocarbon fuels can be reformed to produce hydrogen, including natural gas, diesel, renewable liquid fuels, gasified coal, or gasified biomass. Today, about 95% of all hydrogen is produced from steam reforming of natural gas." https://www.energy.gov/eere/fuelcells/hydrogen-fuel-basics https://www.energy.gov/eere/fuelcells/hydrogen-fuel-basics
