RE: Aldbrough Hydrogen Storage Public Notice3 Aug 2024 10:07
Copied from one the sciencedirect links:
It is concluded that; with significant effort from the government, policymakers, industry and organisations; the effective deployment of hydrogen technologies in Ireland could avoid up to 6.1 MtCO2eq of emissions annually, reflecting a trend observed in many other developed countries in which hydrogen plays an important part in the path to a low-carbon future. Prospective roles for hydrogen in Ireland include renewable energy storage and grid balancing through the deployment of Power-to-Gas systems, a replacement for fossil natural gas in the gas grid for backup electricity production as well as industry and heating requirements, and the use of hydrogen as a fuel for heavy transport.
There are lots of the usual utopian "could, might, maybes" regarding hydrogen tech deployment, but the words that.tell all are "with significant effort from the government".
That tells me, that in the UK, at least, hydrogen is a non starter. It's a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow fabricated by an "elite" class of people who will profit enormously from the most massive of white elephants!
