Debunking The Myth: Green Hydrogen Is Essential To Displace Current Industrial Hydrogen Use, Not As An Energy Source
Shifting from fossil hydrogen is akin to turning off a leaky tap—a necessary first step toward stemming the tide of industrial emissions. Despite being promoted extensively as a universal replacement fuel for heavy industry, hydrogen’s role in decarbonization is frequently misunderstood or exaggerated. The perception that hydrogen can broadly replace … [continued]

Debunking The Myth: Hydrogen Is Not A Good Energy Carrier For Heating Buildings
The notion that hydrogen will replace natural gas for residential and commercial heating has been promoted heavily by segments of the gas industry. Yet the weight of independent, peer-reviewed research points in the opposite direction. Hydrogen, while technically combustible and capable of generating heat, is simply not a practical or … [continued]
