Countries and companies are now preparing and forming international coalitions to position themselves for the green hydrogen future.

    It has to be frozen to quite low temp.s to make storage possible and it leaks out of virtually anything.

          There isn’t enough pump hydropower for all energy storage needs. And it is very geographically limited too.

              You’re just proposing gravitational energy storage. This is many orders of magnitude smaller than what is doable with chemical energy storage systems. Frankly, you are trolling now.

                Nope, just massively cheaper and less pipe dream than hydrogen storage. Frankly, you are delusional still.

                  You are basically turning into a climate change denier. You are simply way out of touch and stuck in the past.

          Oh for sure. Only problem is that pumped hydro is already matured. We won’t see any real future cost savings there, and it’s too expensive to be practical for mass adoption. We need something cheaper, which hydrogen might be.

          My link was just to highlight that H2 doesn’t need to be frozen for grid-scale storage, and leakage is less of an issue there.

            Hydrogen is simply too expensive to store for any real mass power use. H2 is nothing more than the latest fantasy of folks trying to find a reason to avoid investing in solar.

              Green hydrogen is made via electrolysis using renewable energy. You’re simply repeating the same language of the oil and gas industry by suggest new green technologies are just fantasies.

              Grid-scale energy storage is a requirement to reduce volatility in any system with a large reliance on VRE.

                And hydrogen is one of the more expensive, complex, and high maintenance ways ways to accomplish that.

                  It’s actually the cheapest at what it does. Like I said, you are basically repeating the language of fossil fuel companies. It is tragic that certain “pro-green” groups have basically chosen to oppose green energy because they have already made up their minds about what green technology can be.

                    High pressure tanks or freezing it to make it liquid is in no way inexpensive. The entire idea is an attempt to keep existing LPG manufacturers in business. It is a total scam. Just like uranium, it shall always be expensive to use. Which is the entire intent.
