Sometimes I ride on an electric bus to work on one of our longer routes. Yesterday I unpacked my camera, hopped off the bus, and took this picture.

I saw this view out the window of the bus this morning so I pulled the cord and got off at the next stop to run back and take this picture of Cornell's Vet School walking back to work I realized the light was special because the building was backlit with the sun behind a small cloud

"The government is being warned that tight electricity supply situations could become more frequent, especially on cold winter mornings and evenings.

...

The briefing said the government's dumping the aspirational goal of 100 percent renewable electricity by 2030 - and the Lake Onslow 'battery' project along with it - gave the ministry more room to work on the problem."

@strypey @phlogiston @lotneuv read that paper, it seems like H2 reacts with -OH (not O2) which means -OH eats less methane (so methane goes up) plus as you point out the water vapor contributes to heating too.

Job 1 for green and pink H2 I think is replacement of H2 in industrial processes such as ammonia production or to even replace CO in iron refining

@UP8@mastodon.social avatar

@lightweight @strypey @phlogiston @lotneuv it also competes with e-Fuels that are easy to synthesize like DME for the heavy diesel sector

what i am wondering about is the buffering of seasonal insolation of an H2 plant for on site consumption (ammonia factory), it doesn't seem hard to store a day's production but you might need to buffer a month or two of production if you want to keep the (expensive) factory running all winter
