You make a good point! While green hydrogen aims for sustainability, other hydrogen sources can still play a role in reducing fossil fuel dependence as we transition. Embracing multiple hydrogen sources may support progress until green hydrogen becomes more accessible and efficient on a large scale.
@@hsteven1110 Good point! Using petroleum for durable goods like plastics could conserve resources and reduce the environmental impact of burning it as fuel. By reserving it for essential materials and finding alternative energy sources, we could make better use of petroleum while supporting a sustainable energy transition.
No. It is a stupidly wasteful way of using electricity. It would be more sensible to make ammonia as a means of storing and transporting electricity generated by solar and wind when there is no demand for it
Thanks for your comment. It is true that green hydrogen production is currently energy-intensive, and ammonia does have potential as an alternative energy carrier, especially for easier storage and transport. While hydrogen is promising for decarbonization, maximizing efficiency and minimizing waste are essential to make green hydrogen more viable. Ammonia is indeed being explored for its storage potential, but both methods will need advancements to be truly sustainable options for large-scale use.

@@futureenergytechnology I have seen the video. Until the first law of thermodynamics is repealed making fuel from water will always be energy intensive. If the solar farm is thousands of miles from the consumers it will have to make hydrogen. To transport it the most logical way is to make ammonia. Ammonia is made from nitrogen and hydrogen. There are already designs for ammonia plants that can run intermittently. It can be stored at room temperature at a pressure of 10 bars, or as a liquid at -33OC. In 2023 world production of ammonia was 150,000,000 metric tons, almost all from fossil fuels. There are facilities for transporting it all over the world. “green” ammonia could displace most of this. Another possibility is to install small ammonia plants next to solar and wind farms. This ammonia would be used for direct application to the soil.
@@mike160543 Thanks for sharing your thoughts! You’re absolutely right-the energy intensity of water-splitting is a critical challenge, and ammonia’s established infrastructure offers a practical solution for storing and transporting hydrogen-based energy. Local ammonia production near solar and wind farms could indeed support both energy transport and agricultural applications, making green ammonia a promising addition to the clean energy transition.

Until all other forms of heat, i.e. fossil fuels, are replaced by hydrogen, why not use all sources of hydrogen instead of bad mouthing them?

@@futureenergytechnology - petroleum is better used for plastics, rather than burning it, which will deplete the supply eventually.
