I would argue that there is a large difference between transporting and transforming. It is easy to transport/store hydrogen in a pressurized cistern.
It is also fairly easy to transform hydrogen just by burning it. Of course burning fossil fuels and releasing tons of CO2 is how we got into whole global warming business anyways, so we want a more efficient transformation technology.
But wait, it get's more complicated. Compare transportation and storage of hydrogen versus electricity. Vast difference, requires radically different technologies, so let's not call all energy 'same'.
- Crito 13y agoBurning hydrogen itself is clean, producing only water vapor (which can be fairly trivially condensed, if necessary.) The problem is acquiring the hydrogen.
- TrainedMonkey 13y agoGood point, no carbon involved.
