"Green" hydrogen? Hydrogen is hydrogen isn't it? "Green" simply indicates the method of production, usually by electrolysis, the splitting of water into its constituents hydrogen and oxygen.
So wind farms can be used to generate electricity when the wind blows (but not too hard!) and the power can be stored as hydrogen gas. Sounds pretty simple really, so where is all this additional CO2 supposed to come from?
Well, perhaps it's not actually CO2 that's the problem here ...
And lest we forget, even if we in the UK do miraculously achieve "Net Zero" (whatever that is and by whatever astronomical cost in economic and human survival terms it might be achieved) by 2050, it won't make a measurable difference to global temperatures even on the IPCC's highly dubious projections ...
Maybe we should stop arguing about the minutiae and look at what the engineers say could be economically and practicably feasible.
