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

Afry modeled two possible avenues to decarbonize Europe's power, heat and transport sectors. Afry’s model anticipates there would have to be 25 terawatt-hours of hydrogen combined-cycle gas turbine generation a year by 2050. “Any process emissions have to be offset by something.” Potential criticisms of the study.

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.

At the very least, utilities will need plans that can get them most of the way there, while rushing ahead with next-generation technologies: long-duration energy storage, small modular nuclear reactors or green hydrogen and methane to fuel natural gas peaker plants. Here's a look at the five largest U.S. Duke Energy.
