"Green" hydrogen, produced by electrolysis is expensive, so it's produced by steam reforming--cheaper, but it uses natural gas as a feedstock and produces "grey" hydrogen which contributes nothing to climate change mitigation. But "grey" can become "blue" hydrogen when the CO2 is captured by carbon storage techniques that are very doubtful on many levels. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Also darn, atmospheric hydrogen sequesters hydroxyl radicals responsible for the removal of methane. Uh-oh! There is even more interference when hydrogen combines with oxygen in the stratosphere to form water vapor, which also contributes to climate change. Finally, the entire process of hydrogen production, transport, distribution, storage and use is affected by common leaks that release gas into the atmosphere. This is one of the biggest problems among many, and it also seems to be under-reported and not well understood by people looking for easy answers. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Like you, dear Frank.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><h3 style="box-sizing:border-box;font-family:BentonSansBBVA-Book;font-weight:500;line-height:38px;color:rgb(33,37,41);margin:0px 0px 0.5rem;font-size:20px;text-align:right"><span style="box-sizing:border-box;font-family:BentonSansBBVA-Bold"><a href="https://twitter.com/yanes68" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="box-sizing:border-box;background-color:rgb(233,233,233);color:rgb(0,68,129);text-decoration:none;text-decoration-skip:objects;padding:2px 5px" target="_blank"> </a></span></h3></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Mar 10, 2022 at 8:57 PM Frank Wimberly <<a href="mailto:wimberly3@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">wimberly3@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">I am a former pilot.
