Green hydrogen has a leakage problem that may cancel out some of its climate gains
Hydrogen has emerged as the great white (or green) hope of the clean energy transition due to its potential use in decarbonising hard-to-abate industries like shipping, steel production, and even transport. These sectors are tricky to electrify. Cargo ships for example, can’t necessarily recharge battery supply in the middle of the ocean, and cutting emissions … Continue reading Green hydrogen has a leakage problem that may cancel out some of its climate gains
