Energy storage based on hydrogen can easily scale up to power homes and industry during the winter: https://www.pv-magazine.com/2020/06/16/hydrogen-storage-in-s... We have petawatt-hours worth of storage capa

Gas turbines that can run at 90% hydrogen and have existed for decades, still doesn't count as "existing" for you. And you still are pretending that steam power plants running on hydrogen don't exist. The fundamental pro

And there's not a single grid that's green, since they all produce CO₂. Even zero emissions grids like wind and solar still produce CO₂ during manufacturing. And remember just how far up your own asshole you are with this: You&#x2

Grids are not 100% green. So by your definition they're not green either.

Imagine electric cars were held to that standard. There would be no carbon neutral products of any kind. Yes, keep fucking that chicken.

Even more moving of the goalposts... Now it's every single gas turbine out there needs to be upgradable to 100% hydrogen, and "peak" blends don't count. Keep fucking that chicken. Hell, your own source says: > Similar

So how else we're suppose to interpret this statement: "No, hydrogen rapidly corrodes any metals that it comes into contact with. If they are interchangeable, expect drastically smaller service intervals." And if you read act

You pretty much did say that anything above 30% concentration would destroy any gas turbine, nevermind this whole goalpost moving argument of "current gas turbine already in existence." Like I said, it's time to admit you wer

You do realize that has more to do with the availability of hydrogen and that they only have to hit their emissions target by 2050? If you have done any kind of digging at all you realize that they have ran gas turbines at 90% hydrogen deca

Then repurpose old coal plants for the same reason. None of this needs to be hard. This whole debate started when you were caught making ignorant statements regarding basic chemistry and thermodynamics. You're not going to win by just

Are you familiar with the term "moving the goalposts"?

by Hypx 5y ago
So now you're arguing that anything less than ~60% efficiency is unacceptable? Even for emergency backup or long-term power storage reasons? You're at multiple layers of denial at this point. It's time to admit you were wrong

In addition to what I said in the other post regarding gas turbines, you also don't need a gas turbine to generate power. As long as you can boil water the rest follows logically. Honestly, you should learn some thermodynamics and chem

A claim which simply isn't true. Only certain alloys have a problem with hydrogen. We've been using hydrogen in industry for decades and most of this problem has been solved.

Super-capacity is going to be a major driver for the build-out of water electrolysis for the production of hydrogen. You can turn what will basically be a waste product into a highly useful fuel. I've seen people contend that this will

by Hypx 5y ago
Those gas turbines you're referring to can simply be modified natural gas gas turbines. The only limiting factor would be electrolysis, but that is already something people are planning to build a lot of. Nuclear's problem are fun

The most ironic result would be ICE powered vehicles outlasting EVs. They could be the vinyl records of transportation.

Particulate emissions can come from the tires. EVs aren't magic on this form of pollution. Plus, you can have particulate filters on the engine exhaust, reducing this greatly.

There is the option of fuel cell cars in addition to synthetic fuels. Electric cars is only 1 of several possible directions we can go.
25.
by Hypx 5y ago
With synfuels the status quo is an option. Nothing fundamentally has to change.
26.
by Hypx 5y ago
Since synthetic fuels are zero emissions, why would they ever need to be replaced by EVs? A better question is why we need to bother with electrification at all if there are alternative paths to zero emissions?

Hydrogen pipelines are a solved problem. We have been doing it for decades[1]. I could have said "stuck in 1930" but that might be overdoing it. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_pipeline_transport

As soon as everyone agrees to build more nuclear power... We're not anywhere near ready to use anti-matter, but the next best thing faces extreme opposition for some reason. Hydrogen is pretty much a solved problem too. Most of the cri

That's much lower than hydrogen. So what was the argument here? You can buy a fuel cell car today too. I've notice that many of you guys are stuck in 2010 or so. Fuel cells cars are far beyond your outdated viewpoints.
