Unfortunately, a lot of people think hydrogen is actually a fuel, when it is merely an energy transfer medium that requires complex and expensive infrastructure on both ends of the process. I spent 30 years in the fleet industry and watched millions of taxpayer dollars get flushed on failed hydrogen transportation projects. It’s really pointless.
That is an insightful understanding that i had not considered.
Yes! There is not pure Hydrogen anywhere on the Earth.
There is a lot of it on the Sun, but so far there is no way to get it from there.
On the Earth, Hydrogen is bonded in molecules, like water, carbohydrates, acids and bases.
In order to get Hydrogen, one has to manufacture it from these compounds. That requires energy. A lots of energy. More than one gets by using hydrogen in engine.
So hydrogen functions like a battery medium. Storing energy obtained by different methods.
Hydrogen is the fuel of life.
It’s the most abundant element in the universe.
My brother in law worked on Hydrogen development at Ford years back. Another friend was a pipefitter. Outfitting a hydrogen system at Ford HQ was a multi-year project for him.
Another waste of time and resources
