U.S. Transitional Energy Strategies and Polices Continue to Not Address the Climate Change Elephant in the Room
The EPA proposal also addresses the use of green hydrogen as a substitute in gas-fired thermal power stations. A reality check shows that the total annual regional production of green hydrogen in 2022 amounted to 691,000 metric tons. That's enough hydrogen to generate 33-megawatt hours of energy, a fraction of what natural-gas-fired plants produce at an average of between 600 and 700 megawatts.
U.S. Transitional Energy Strategies and Polices Continue to Not Address the Climate Change Elephant in the Room
The U.S. EPA announced this month a policy proposal aimed at fossil-fuel burning power plants. It relies on implementing thousands of carbon capture projects between now and 2032, and upping hydrogen production 1,000-fold. Both goals are highly unrealistic.
