The attack-đȘż is asking BP how the hydrogen is made because itâs an important question.
Hydrogen can be made multiple ways.
Split water (HÂČO) with electricity. You get â H and â O. When you burn the H youâll get water back and â the energy you put in. In this way it can actually as a poor battery.
Take Methane (CHâŽ), the major part of natural gas and split it. You get â H and â carbon. So youâre releasing the same carbon that you would release if you just burnt the methane, and youâll get less energy too. Then take away the energy it took to split the methane and youâre a lot worse off for no saving in carbon.
Other oil and gas based sources, but that follow the theme of methane.
Only the first one is âgreenâ, and only if the electricy comes from a green source (like solar or wind). Burning gas to make electricity to make hydrogen is stupid.
Oil and gas companies companies keep pushing hydrogen as green power, but really they want to keep selling oil and gas, and if they need to convert it into hydrogen to do it, thatâs fine in their eyes. Doesnât matter if they are still pumping carbon out of the ground. Doesnât matter if itâs less efficient. Itâs green washing plain and simple.
Attack đȘż is asking the question that would make them admit this.
That thread was full of people complaining that nobody was doing anything with hydrogen and it was stupid to power cars from electricity directly. They are all just O&G company shills
