Clean until you use a bunch of equipment to get it captured. The hydrogen might be carbon free, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a carbon footprint.
Convince me otherwise, but the only green hydrogen is from renewable energy powered electrolysis.
At some point on the chain of the creation of the renewable energy equipment, carbon releasing and polluting energy and mining was used to create it.
Yup! Let's account for all of it! Seriously! Let's find the optimal lowest carbon solution!
Dog... Do you think there's a lower carbon technique to capture hydrogen than bottling a stream of naturally occurring hydrogen?
Electrolysis requires energy, and it degrades the anodes and cathodes. It generally is used with additives, because pure water isn't conductive.
Pure hydrogen, for free, is as good as it gets. No matter how good our tech gets, this is the closest to a freebee we'll ever get
