The hydrogen electrolyzers are having problems when run at less than 50% capacity, and have to be shut down. The makers claim that they would run at 30% capacity. At lower capacities the hydrogen leaked into the oxygen can exceed 1.8%, causing explosions. Also the Chinese are building a very long H2 pipeline. Quote “”…the

What I saw no mention of so

GH Power takes aluminum and water and with an exothermic reactor turns them into hydrogen and alumina, for much lower cost than electrolyzing water. They also hype Plug, Bloom, Ballard, Fuel Cell (FCEL), and others – investor talk. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/reactor-design-gamechanger-green-hydrogen-010100528.html
First, the Prime Directive: The release of GHGs – greenhouse gases – by humans into the atmosphere must be stopped. Burning fossil fuels for industry and transportation make up a major part of those GHGs. Fossil fuels must be replaced by fuels that add no GHGs to the atmosphere. Hydrogen is one choice. I want
