To recap, the carbon footprint of hydrogen production from natural gas in a steam methane reformer (SMR) is higher than from directly burning the natural gas. That is why today some companies will convert two BTUs of natural gas into one BTU of liquid fuel. On a mass basis, it is 9.3

To generate electricity, they harness natural processes like wind, the sun’s rays, the earth’s heat, and the flow of water. And because they don’t burn any feedstock like coal or natural gas, they emit no air or climate pollution, qualifying them as clean energy. These sources currently generate about 20 percent of U.S.

Rees-Mogg suggested that the development of nuclear small modular reactors (SMRs) could be an outlet for quick investment. All but one of the UK’s nuclear power stations are due to close by 2030, and the government has launched a challenge, backed by Treasury funding, to test whether SMR technology is viable.

Natural gas is not cleaner than other fossil fuels and using it instead of coal or oil risks achieving little or no reduction in greenhouse gas effects, says science advisory group the European Academies’ Science Advisory Council (EASAC) in a new report “Future of Gas”. We can’t argue our way out of drastic changes.
