And again, how many of those are using hydrogen, ammonia, or synthetic methane?

Absolutely not. Almost all synthetic fuels is using biomass as an input, which does not scale. And only tiny, tiny fraction of hydrogen is produced in a carbon neutral manner. Less than 0.05%: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_hydrogen https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_hydrogen
Again, if these are solved problem, show me the fleet of ships powered by hydrogen, ammonia, or synthetic methane.
- mpweiher 3y agoI love the double standard! Nuclear technology: if it isn't exactly the same thing we need, no matter how close, it doesn't exist. Hydrogen etc.: we have a rough analogy and no real way of getting from there to here, therefore it is proven technology.
