Leaks from Hydrogen storage and pipelines will apparently slow down the destruction of atmospheric methane.

So for a hundred million or two, we will get enough hydrogen to power 800 diesel buses! Bargain!

It’s a little late for this election cycle, but I would highly suggest that it is time to ditch this nonsense. Renewables (and carbon capture, and hydrogen) either don’t work or are hugely too expensive or dangerous or...

Understanding more about gas and coal, their importance for our energy needs and daily products used, but also their environmental impact, helps us make smarter energy policy decisions...

I understand that there are people moving forward on setting up some of this hydrogen infrastructure, funded with government subsidies. It’s almost impossible to imagine how much subsidies it would take to make such a system...

The hatred arises because carbon capture is seen as legitimising the continued use of hydrocarbons. The less insane greens are finally realising that they cannot ban hydrocarbons altogether. This is due to the fact that half...

The problem for Equinor’s German project was that it could not find enough customers to buy the hydrogen it proposed to produce.

The punchline here is obvious: everything about the “green” hydrogen push is ridiculous. But billions in federal tax dollars are at stake. That much cash can purchase a heap of ridiculousness.  

Existing fossil gas infrastructure such as pipelines and appliances are “mostly unusable” with hydrogen, without either major investment, or changes in operation that would significantly reduce the amount of energy delivered...

But has anybody crunched the numbers to see if this can be done economically?

By Jo Nova The irony! The only generator that can make affordable hydrogen is brown coal The Great Green Hydrogen dream was killed by the dual impossibility paradox, it has no customers prepared to pay the Gucci level rates,...

This new analysis drives a coach and horses through the demented Miliband’s plan to fully decarbonise the grid completely by 2030.

So the road is not only long, but also expensive.

Without massive subsidies, hydrogen is a non-starter in Germany.

Such a lousy EROEI (energy return on energy invested) should immediately disqualify hydrogen from serious energy policy discussions.
