For those with a strong aversion to relying on fossil fuels, the use of non-petroleum gas is certainly more virtuous than using regular Nat gas.
For those concerned about greenhouse gases emissions, use of non-fossil natural gas can result in a net *decrease* of GHG emissions.(if you have questions on this, the best place to look at the California Air Resources Board individual approved pathways for GHG reductions). And yes, many of us remain excited about electrolytic hydrogen using renewable energy sources, particularly since it can help solve the problems many countries are running into where wind/solar resource use needs to be curtailed. Perhaps the most exciting thing about the Hydrogen Council announcement is the breadth of company CEOs that have signed on to the commitment. - Mark Sent from my Fuel Cell powered iPhone > On Dec 21, 2018, at 5:24 AM, Willie <[email protected]> wrote: > > > >> On 12/21/18 6:58 AM, Mark Abramowitz wrote: >> Willie, >> Fuel cell vehicles are NOT off-topic (check the charter), but I put OT in >> there just because I thought that this particular conversation was OT - but >> perhaps it isn’t OT. >> Is there a future?
