We are betting the bank on hydrogen. But are we ready for it?

Envirotec Magazine

Green hydrogen holds many promises: it can serve as a ‘battery’ for energy storage, it can be used in the chemical industry, and its only emission will be water vapour. But, unfortunately, green hydrogen is not yet widely used, because the production of grey hydrogen from natural gas is much cheaper.

The project is led by Bill Nimmo, Professor of Energy Engineering and Sustainability, with PhD student Madhumitha Rajendran. However, whilst the electrification of light vehicles is a logical way forward, heavy vehicles used in the rail, marine and construction sectors have high torque requirements that are unsuited to electric power.

CFCs have a high chlorine content and have been linked strongly to ozone depletion and global warming. HCFCs were considered an improvement when they were first introduced, as they have lower chlorine and make a lesser contribution to ozone depletion and global warming. It is also abundant and can be made from renewable energy.
