    By the time hydrogen is made, stored and burned to make electricity again, there’s nearly 70% less energy than at the start — and the cost has tripled. Green hydrogen will probably only be useful towards the end of the energy transition, once primary electricity demand is being comfortably met by renewables, according to Pierre Wunsch, Belgium’s top central banker. “We’re not going to have green hydrogen in big quantities and cheap prices before that because of course we need to produce more electricity to electrify,” he said.

    In most countries we are NOT at the point to able to spend excess electricity.

    That’s perhaps why most green hydrogen projects only exist on paper or the websites of major gas companies like Equinor ASA, Shell Plc and Sinopec. […] If they’re wrong, the world risks locking in decades of fossil fuel pollution and blowing past targets for cutting emissions.

    Gas & oil companies do not care what you put into your cars, machines, etc. As long as you buy it from them. And if it does not work… oh well, they can continue selling Gas&oil as long as needed, damn the consequences😉


    Bonus: All planned ‘green hydrogen’ facilities worldwide until 2035 will cover about 10% of Germany’s demand: https://www.pik-potsdam.de/members/Ueckerdt/E-Fuels_Stand-und-Projektionen_PIK-Potsdam.pdf
