To be clear: we’re going to use renewable hydrogen for some things, such as fertilizer manufacturing — there isn’t any other way to do them sustainably. There are applications for which it’s one of the most expensive choices, such as home heating, and a whole host of industrial processes and aviation sitting in between.
I’m just not seeing the risk here…“oh no, we wasted our time on a green tech that we didn’t need”
This is going to take time to learn to scale up, and even if it turns out not to be useful energy-wise, it’ll still create jobs now and have alternate applications down the road
