Let's get this clear: you are all anti-hydrogen campaigners

Including Jesse Jenkins who has promoted #shale extensively in the past, and now campaigns fiercely to block hydrogen via the vacuous and nonsensical 'three pillars' rules which effectively double the price of hydrogen for a decade

Yeah, it's not the main component of the energy transition - already replacing coal for steel & soon everything else
March 1, 2025 at 2:36 PM
Because of course shifting to the only zero emissions fuel type might actually be worse for the climate than natural gas? And you expect people to take CICERO seriously? LOL

Hydrogen replaces shale

He lobbies for the same 'rules' that lobbyists want to apply in the EU; which basically double the price of hydrogen despite OECD grids guaranteed to be carbon-zero within 10yrs. They make no sense - never applied to battery imports, fracking, mining etc

Jesse Jenkins: promotes #shale, tries to ban grid-based #hydrogen

*Nobody being paid by the fossil fuel industry here..*

Jesse Jenkins promotes #hydrofracturing & applauds the tax credits for #shale, yet emissions from electrolysis using the regular US grid are too high to endorse the $3/kg tax credit pledged..

If you look at the graph below, you can see that most energy we use is fossil based (and increasing), oil making up a third

VRE is not going to replace more than a third of oil (road), about half of gas (which is mostly seasonal storage and on-demand power) and a third of coal (mostly industry use)

Hydrogen refuelling - if reasonable utilisation rates are met - is far lower cost than petrol

$3.58/kg at some refuelling stations in China!

Governments should absorb initial risk until there are enough FCEVs on the road. They keep paying shareholders and this will result in catastrophic losses - to the global economy and thus shareholders themselves - by mid-century

Climate damages are expected to be 10x global oil revenue at 3°C

There is no way #batteries and #biofuels will replace the 78.5% of global energy use that is currently met by hydrocarbons

Hundreds of billions of investment will see the #hydrogen economy start to take off by the 2030s
December 15, 2024 at 2:08 PM
You have got this wrong. Batteries and biofuels will not replace fossil energy applications; and therefore #hydrogen is a direct threat to continued fossil energy investment and the monopoly position fossil shareholders profit from.

Hydrogen can be produced anywhere and threatens this monopoly.

Hydrogen is 10-100x cheaper to transport, store and use than electricity, while permitting is also much faster

Pipelines carry 10x more energy, and in nearly all cases existing pipelines are H2 compatible; while cavern storage plus gas turbines is 150x less cost per GWh than batteries

From my first book, Mike
December 14, 2024 at 7:14 AM
So you believe the billions so far invested in fuel cell transport (already lower cost than petrol if infrastructure were available, soon kerosene, diesel for trucks etc) are a waste?

That 3500 utility companies (electric and gas) should find some other form of seasonal storage?

Fracking has just started in Argentina #vacamuerta; by avoiding #hydrogen climate costs will be higher than 10x fossil energy revenues in a few decades

Blocking #hydrogen and initial hydrogen subsidies is the primary barrier, even tho H2 is guaranteed to be lower cost than LNG in the long term
December 7, 2024 at 11:26 AM
However 30% of all electricity is curtailed in a RES-only energy system, meaning an extremely large amount of renewable #hydrogen

Hydrogen necessary for most industry, seasonal storage, long-distance transport, gas turbines, chemical feedstocks etc

And all EU TSOs are implementing the hydrogen and decarbonised gas market design package, by law
December 7, 2024 at 11:06 AM
The EU grid is converting to 66% hydrogen and decarbonised gas by 2050, by law - as fully planned and implemented by 3500 utility companies via the TYNDP

Portugal has already started hydrogen blending in the national gas network

Hydrogen projects are moving just as fast & reaching FiDs at the same rate as solar or wind in the early days
