Iowa Adds Green Hydrogen To Its Renewable Energy Roster

Credit to Author: Tina Casey| Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2025 15:59:20 +0000

The deep red state of Iowa has long bucked the right-wing tide on energy policy. Despite its conservative slant on other matters, Iowa leads the US in biofuel production. It also tops all other states in percent of electricity generated by wind energy, at 59%. So, it’s no surprise to … [continued]

Debunking The Myth: Surplus Renewable Electricity Will Not Make Hydrogen Cheap

Credit to Author: Michael Barnard| Date: Fri, 14 Mar 2025 00:58:32 +0000

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]

Debunking The Myth: Hydrogen Fuel Cells Aren’t More Efficient Than Alternatives

Credit to Author: Michael Barnard| Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2025 16:54:38 +0000

Hydrogen is often promoted as a clean and efficient energy carrier, but its real-world efficiency is frequently overstated. Proponents of hydrogen fuel cells highlight their conversion efficiencies of 50–60%, comparing them favorably to internal combustion engines (ICEs). However, this selective framing ignores the full energy pathway, from hydrogen production to … [continued]

Debunking The Myth: Electrolyzing Hydrogen For Energy Is Wasteful & Higher Emissions

Credit to Author: Michael Barnard| Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2025 17:46:13 +0000

As the world races toward a decarbonized future, hydrogen is often touted as a clean energy carrier, with proponents highlighting electrolysis as a viable method for its production. The process, which uses electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, can indeed be powered by renewable energy sources, making it … [continued]
