IS HYDROGEN HOT AIR?

The newly minted Atlantic Hydrogen Alliance makes an interesting proposal to decarbonize our economy with hydrogen substitution (Oct. 15 opinion piece). Surely the alliance is looking for public support and subsidies to advance its agenda. How many tons of carbon will “lowcarbon hydrogen” remove (lower emissions) from the atmosphere every year? We must cease using fossil fuels by 2030 to survive. How will “low-carbon hydrogen” get us there?

Any subsidies that we provide for energy production needs to be backed with hard data on carbon removal. Otherwise, is it just another gimmick to make money out of a crisis and we just keep talking while the planet burns. Fernando Moncayo, Dartmouth
