2023-09-02 Green Hydrogen Plans For Mediterranean
There apparently are millions of armchair experts who badmouth about all the dangers and impossibilities of making, storing and transporting hydrogen. They all say that H2 leaks like water through a sieve and that hydrogen causes containers to become brittle, as fragile as a clay pot. They are being ignored by the engineers who have

2021-12-07 Plasma Kinetics Solid Hydrogen
The solid hydrogen patent owned by Plasma Kinetics was restricted from 2008 to 2017 by the U.S. Government as being a disruptive technology. In this youtube video he’s talking to Sandy Munro who tells him about Plasma Kinetics and solid hydrogen. He interviews the Plasma Kinetics boss. https://youtu.be/brEm4mEizns
2021-10-04 H Quest Develops Hydrogen Pyrolyzer *Without CO2*
This makes hydrogen from methane using electricity, but without CO2. It uses microwaves at 2.45 GHz. from a magnetron. https://www.rechargenews.com/energy-transition/-we-will-make-zero-co2-hydrogen-from-natural-gas-so-cheaply-we-could-give-it-away-for-free-/2-1-1075224
2021-09-05 Blue Hydrogen Is Greenwashing By Big Oil
At 13:00 Dave talked about how problematic green hydrogen is, and at 13:30 he said why not just use the electricity directly for the home. Herein is the whole problem: the solar and wind electricity is generated at times when it is not needed and not generated when it is needed. So we still have

2021-07-12 CO2 To Syngas Using Sabatier Process
Read Applications section for pilot plants that use CO2 to make CH4 that can be used in the existing natural gas system. Also it’s being used to power a fleet of cars. Only problem with CO2 capture to syngas is that it doesn’t permanently remove the CO2 from the atmosphere. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabatier_reaction Quote: << The Sabatier

2021-05-19 Hydrogen Must Be Fossil Fuel Free ASAP
From YouTube comment The third most important thing (after air and water) is food, and agriculture uses huge amounts of hydrogen in making fertilizer. Now, the hydrogen is made using fossil fuels, mostly methane, and the fossil fuels must be eliminated ASAP. The hydrogen must be made by other than fossil fuels and the governments

2021-05-18 Hydrogen Replacing Methane Pros, Cons
This Youtube video Engineering With Rosie interviews a chemical engineer who talks about the problems of replacing some or all of the natural gas with hydrogen. Hydrogen has higher energy per unit weight, but it is much less dense than methane so it has much less energy per unit volume. The natural gas system has
