Brink Of Extinction – More And More Companies Rejecting Costly Hydrogen Technology
Once considered a key technology in the green energy transition, companies are waking up and finding out that hydrogen isn’t the answer to the challenges posed by renewable energies such…
Kill Them All – Stop Wasting Our Money on Green Pipe Dreams
“Every time you involve hydrogen, you get not small losses, but large, substantial losses,” an energy specialist tells us. “The main cause of the issue is that hydrogen is a…
Green Hydrogen to Increase Gas Bills
We already have the highest electricity prices in the developed world and UK and European gas prices are many times higher than those in the US and Canada. We simply cannot afford…
BP Scraps Major Hydrogen Plans for Teeside
BP’s announcement that it had dropped plans for a “green” hydrogen plant has been described as “bitterly disappointing”.
Waking Up to Harsh Reality: Airbus Abandon’s Hydrogen Powered Airplanes
Green pie-in-the-sky dream crash lands on the runway of reality.
First Hydrogen CfDs Awarded
The first three CfDs have been announced for the Hydrogen Allocation Round 1.
‘Miracle’ of Green Hydrogen Becomes Fading Mirage
The story of green hydrogen’s fall from grace is eerily reminiscent of past technological bubbles. We saw similar patterns with first-generation biofuels and concentrated solar power. Each time, the lesson…
Hydrogen facility will definitely open in Bradford
So for a hundred million or two, we will get enough hydrogen to power 800 diesel buses! Bargain!
The DEFR Follies — Cost Of Hydrogen Storage
I understand that there are people moving forward on setting up some of this hydrogen infrastructure, funded with government subsidies. It’s almost impossible to imagine how much subsidies it would…
Invasion Of The Water Snatchers
The punchline here is obvious: everything about the “green” hydrogen push is ridiculous. But billions in federal tax dollars are at stake. That much cash can purchase a heap of…
Shock New Claim: ‘Green’ Hydrogen Produces 37 Times More Global Warming than Carbon Dioxide
Bottom line – there is no cost effective, feasible, reliable and scalable replacement for hydrocarbons available, or likely to be available, in the near future. Blackouts and severe rationing will…
Yet More Reasons Why Green Hydrogen Is Going Nowhere
The gist of the paper is that the existing natural gas infrastructure of storage facilities, pipelines and power plants absolutely cannot be repurposed for use by hydrogen; and indeed, there…
“Green” Hydrogen Subsidies Are 1,900x Larger Than What’s Given To Nuclear
…the hydrogen economy requires scads of electricity (a high quality form of energy) to make a tiny molecule that’s hard to handle, difficult to store, and expensive to use.
The Energy Transition Ain’t Happening: Hydrogen in Australia
But has anybody crunched the numbers to see if this can be done economically?
German Professor Shows That the Road to Green Hydrogen Is Long, Expensive
So the road is not only long, but also expensive.
Updated Hydrogen Costings
The cost of producing and installing electrolysers for green hydrogen production in China, the US and Europe — three of the world’s biggest markets — has risen by more than…
‘Hydrogen town’ plan cancelled after protests over forced switch from natural gas
…o generate electrical energy through wind and solar, and using that energy to make hydrogen, would be an exercise in nothing less than . . . profligate stupidity.
The H Stands For Hype
Such a lousy EROEI (energy return on energy invested) should immediately disqualify hydrogen from serious energy policy discussions.
Fortescue: Biden Forcing Green Hydrogen Producers to Use Renewables Drives Up Prices
“… The “hourly matching” rule will force hydrogen producers to either cease production when renewables are not available … or sign up for excess renewable power …”
