Hydrogen is often celebrated as the fuel of the future, heralded as a perfect solution that emits no carbon dioxide (CO₂) when burned or utilized in fuel cells. Yet, while technically correct — hydrogen itself emits no carbon dioxide upon combustion — the framing of hydrogen as a fully ‘clean’ … [continued]

A commonly cited argument is that surplus electricity from renewable sources, particularly solar and wind, makes hydrogen production both economical and practical. The rationale seems simple: when the sun shines brightly or winds blow strongly, there’s an abundance of electricity, potentially making hydrogen cheap. But this claim oversimplifies the economic … [continued]
