🗓️ The cost for #electrolysers and #fuelcells needs to be reduced and field experience in the application of these various #hydrogen technologies needs to be gained. Fraunhofer UMSICHT deals with various issues in a wide variety of projects in order to meet these challenges – from reducing stack costs to industrializing the production of electrolysers. UMSICHT scientist Anna Greve will provide insights at the “hy-fcell Canada” conference on June 18 in Vancouver.
"The current plan puts roughly 15 of MACH2’s 25 projects in southeast #Pennsylvania. These include facilities that will produce #hydrogen using steam #methane reformation, nuclear energy, and renewable energy sources such as solar.
Spotlight PA interviews with a dozen stakeholders and a review of feedback from public meetings overwhelmingly show concern, rather than enthusiasm."
Honest question: I measure gases as a career, and I’m always fixing leaks in my instruments*. How do people who push #hydrogen as a home heating solution propose to avoid catastrophic leaks?
*I use Swagelok fittings, the same ones used on airplanes and in industrial settings.
@fmarini@uoou@davidho considering that the main way we detect gas leaks in residential settings today is by smelling it and calling the gas line, using a gas that leaks more easily and is odourless seems suboptimal 🤔
Thanks to #DW for producing this comprehensive debunking of the "#hydrogen future".
It's ridiculous how many companies are peddling this stupidity (e.g. for home boilers because "we already have gas pipes") and #EU governments are buying into it.
@Odaeus This is pretty generic anti-hydrogen and pro-battery propaganda. It's basically just market from people who have specific goals and use environmentalism as a way to make money. In reality, fuel cells are electrochemical systems just like batteries. They are fundamentally necessary to solving climate change. Naysayers are practically climate change deniers by refuse to acknowledge this.
