As absurd as running an electric vehicle with coal-fired electric power generation. The predominant way we manufacture hydrogen today is to use natural gas as a feedstock and burning fossil fuels to add energy this is both energy efficient and inexpensive – but we cannot increase our CO2 footprint to make hydrogen. Producing hydrogen is an extremely energy intensive process – one ton of hydrogen requires the energy equivalent to the combustion of 5 tons of oil (32 barrels), and that presents the challenge – the double objective of scaling up hydrogen supply and doing so cleanly. That compares to the 4.2 billion tons of crude oil produced per year that is over 50 times more. However, global production of hydrogen is small – 90 million tons per year, according to DOE. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said in an announcement of new Department of Energy (DOE) programs to accelerate progress and reduce the cost of producing hydrogen. “Clean hydrogen is key to cleaning up American manufacturing and slashing emissions from carbon-intensive materials like steel and cement while creating good-paying jobs,” U.S. This gives hydrogen the potential to be a direct substitute for fossil fuels in myriad fossil fuel applications and moves us further toward net-zero emission goals. A kilogram of hydrogen holds more chemical energy than any other fuel and burns cleanly. There is growing excitement around the world about the potential of green hydrogen as a major energy carrier in our clean energy transition, and for good reason.
