The System Case Against Hydrogen for Grid Storage
Every time hydrogen is critiqued as an energy carrier for the power sector, the same question reappears. If not hydrogen, where does long duration storage come from? I received it related to my recent critique of Germany’s attempt to force the EU to double green hydrogen and synthetic fuel quotes … [continued]
