There isn’t any such factor as “green hydrogen” (besides maybe “white” hydrogen, if that seems to be a actuality). Any energy generated from any supply is fungible within the grid. For those who use it domestically, the inexperienced share within the grid is decrease than what it will have been had you fed it into the grid after which powered your system from that grid. The “greenness” of the hydrogen is identical both method, and it’s not very inexperienced in any respect.
I appreciated your article on the purchased and paid for hydrogen pipeline “report.” In it, the writer writes, “wind farm…electricity is supposed to be being used to decarbonize the UK’s electricity grid, not make hydrogen for Europe” and explains the madness and greed related to hydrogen. Plus you want an amazing quantity of energy to create the hydrogen. It’s a very energy-expensive storage medium. Few purposes can justify the required overuse of energy era.
And but, there nonetheless are these references to “green hydrogen” as if there have been such a factor, as a result of it’s made with direct transmission from renewable power sources. That’s the idea that basically must be debunked. Most individuals can simply perceive the issue with utilizing carbon-based energy, however they by no means are launched to the inherent fallacy of the inexperienced hydrogen idea itself.
It will be nice if folks put quotes round inexperienced: “green” hydrogen, or seek advice from it as “so-called green hydrogen” accompanied by a brief rationalization of why there will be no such factor till each joule within the grid is lifecycle inexperienced.
