This video explains why the cost of hydrogen is so high that it would be ridiculous to use it to generate electricity,
Here is more news on this subject. Politicians seem hell bent on clutching at anything that might achieve CO2 emissions no matter what the cost. But eventually they (or their successors) will come up against the real cost and the project will hit the buffers.
Methane is Hydrogen. CH4, 4 atoms of hydrogen bonded with one single atom of Carbon.
ReplyDeleteMethane contains four hydrogen atoms, but the carbon changes its properties, in particular when it burns it produces CO2, which is why they want to change to pure hydrogen, or possibly add hydrogen to the methane to reduce the level of CO2. The problem is that hydrogen is much more expensive to produce.
