Default Re: Hydrogen is coming

Hi,
I think you are forgetting that Lithium mining and battery production doesn't come without significant environmental impact also through its lifecycle.

El. power to produce H2 doesn't need to come from a nuclear plant, it can come from your rooftop PV, which we are getting more and more of.

Instead of having an expensive battery bank it can be made into H2 which perhaps can be stored more easily than electricity in a battery. Perhaps in a small scale, that you produce your own H2, rather than have a battery.

However it is a fair bit of equipment involved. Fuel cells does require some clean-up and rebuilding etc. I haven't studied that part of it.

Cheers,
