Will Hydrogen or Electric Power the Future?

We should have gone to hydrogen in the 50's. We already had the technology to do it then!

There are 4 types of Hydrogen generation.

There is;

• green-hydrogen produced by green energy and hydrolysis of water (emits no CO2) only H2 and O
  
• blue-hydrogen from natural gas (emits some CO2)
• grey-hydrogen from oil distillates (emits a lot CO2)
• brown-hydrogen from coal gas (emits too much CO2)

That is what has changed. When I was in the masonry business in 1995 I worked on a house that a PhD GM engineer was building. He was working on hydrogen fuel cell technology for transportation way back then.

A way of production of inexpensive, and a reason for, the production of hydrogen for fuel needed to happen, he explained. We have reached this point with the need to reverse climate change for adding CO2 to the atmosphere. We are approaching the tipping point.

When I saw the holdings of the HJEN ETF and these companies kept appearing in the *hydrogen news* seemed they are serious now

Most of there are large or mid cap stocks --also the stocks are global.
Hopefully, it will bounce back, it's was offered first mar 25, 2021 --New Offering

This is going to happen

SoCalGas, H2U testing new Gramme 50 electroylzer for green hydrogen production

Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) and H2U Technologies are testing a new electrolyzer, called the Gramme 50, for the production of green hydrogen. According to early analysis, the cost target of the new technology is half that of current electrolyzers and the total cost of ownership over...

The Gramme 50 electrolyzer features a radically different stack design to achieve high current density and outlet pressure requirements. Individual cell power management enables dynamic loading, efficient operation and degradation isolation. The unit also features seamless integration between stack and power electronics.

---

Design specs for the Gramme 50 include a production rate of 30~50 Nm3/hr with a power consumption range of 5~7 kWh/Nm or 150~350 kW.


Less expensive technologies such as this can start a “virtuous cycle” of cost reductions, increased scale-up, and further cost reductions in turn.


The green hydrogen produced by this new technology can be used for clean transportation or industrial applications or blended with natural gas. Green hydrogen offers the ability to store renewable electricity across months and seasons, an advantage over battery storage.

Hydrogen fuel cell car prototype from Japan?

Wow, that looks very futuristic. I kinda like it, looks fun.

I'm a little surprised he hasn't already done this, he seems to enjoy doing stuff no one else has.
