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. To make this happen, you need to add some energy. When the hydrogen molecule is allowed to bond again, this energy will be released, though with some energy loss.

Why electrification is key to curbing future climate change

Smart Energy International

Electrification holds the key to cleaner, more efficient energy distribution and use. This increase in global temperatures is mirrored by rising atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases including CO2, methane, and nitrous oxide that attained record levels last year. C by 2050 remains achievable.

The Economic Case for ‘Blue Hydrogen’ Is Getting Worse. Cue the Lobbyists.

DeSmogBlog

The push to sell “blue hydrogen” as a clean energy fuel — which experts have called a misleading rebrand of fossil fuels — hit another setback this month. Climate provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 are bringing new economic headwinds to the gas-derived hydrogen fuel’s prospects.

BBC Accused of Doing PR for Major Polluters

DeSmogBlog

In recent months, the BBC has created content for a number of oil and gas companies, including the French fossil fuel company Engie, which owns a number of coal-fired power plants and relies heavily on gas for its energy production. Last year was the warmest year since global records began in 1850.
