The Use of Hydrogen in Decarbonizing Our Energy

Here’s a fabulous article on hydrogen, which includes a graphic that lays out the many ways in which H2 is derived from natural and man-made processes.

Spoiler: Nothing here varies from my findings on the subject, i.e., that hydrogen, though not a carbon-rich fossil fuel, is expensive, hard to store and distribute, and environmentally challenging, and will therefore not be a major factor in our energy future, absent a few scenarios in which batteries are extremely poorly suited: cargo ships, Class 8 trucks, and aircraft.  Even these will eventually give way.
