The Climate, Environment and Energy Thread

[LP]

Or maybe it’s like the blue hydrogen industry claiming CCS and catalysis are solutions to the problematic emissions and byproducts. A bit too early for that, no?

In terms of Hydrogen production I think you mean electrolysis which is the process of making hydrogen from seawater, the catalysis part comes into capturing, converting or reducing waste products like the catalytic converters in cars. Catalysis can be used as part of the electrolysis process to make hydrogen production from seawater even more efficient. Once hydrogen is produce catalysis can be used to convert the hydrogen back in electricity producing only water as a by-product.

btw., If hydrogen is so evil, why are "Green" enterprises like Forrest and Cannon-Brookes proposing to use it as a form of energy storage for a project like SunCable. Is it only green when a Greenie find a use for it? This goes to the heart of the doubts held by people like [member=64]PaulP[/member] , the big problem is people, no matter what the technology is capable of delivering.
