minus-square zurohki ( @zurohki@aussie.zone ) linkfedilinkEnglish9•3 months agoThey aren’t using dirty energy to do electrolysis, they’re steam reforming methane. It isn’t possible to do renewably.
minus-square CapeWearingAeroplane ( @CapeWearingAeroplane@sopuli.xyz ) linkfedilink2•3 months agoMethane can be produced renewably from bio-waste. H2 production by steam reforming lends itself well to CCS, and thus to being carbon neutral, even when the methane comes from non-renewable sources.
minus-square frezik ( @frezik@midwest.social ) linkfedilink5•3 months agoThere’s a better way to word the argument: it isn’t possible to do hydrogen in renewable ways economically. Electrolysis is easy enough to do at home if you like. Doing it at mass scale to fuel cars and airplanes is another matter.
