World's largest green hydrogen project 'has major problems due to its Chinese electrolysers': BNEF

[NNadir]

2. On reflection, I think you've hit the nail on the head. Hydrogen is, of course, advertised mainly by fossil fuel...

...interests, companies dependent on fossil fuels or fossil fuel producing companies, the latter companies being very involved in the polymer business, because most polymers are in fact, petroleum or natural gas derived.

The general figure is that about 10% or less of plastics actually end up recycled; of course the amount of hyped hydrogen used as a fuel is miniscule compared to the amount of natural gas, coal and oil - all of which are used to manufacture hydrogen - burned.

To be perfectly honest, I'm ambivalent about plastics. I object strongly to single use plastics - if forced to use a plastic spoon by circumstances, I wash it, and I feel bad when I use foods or beverages that come packaged in plastics - but I endorse permanent plastics, such as structural plastics, plastic furniture, and the like. They represent sequestered plastics.

Thanks for your comment.
