If they can scale it up to make it commercially viable it could be a real breakthrough. Thanks for sharing! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I note that they don't say what the catalyst is, but if it works out on a commercial level it would remove on the objections to storing and trading energy through hydrogen. But only one. Renewable energy can be generated anywhere using cheap Chinese equipment, so if a country wanted to buy expensive intermittent electricity why wouldn't they set up their own projects? Granted some countries may have space advantages but floating wind generators are all the rage - why not have a bank of them, say, off the coast of Singapore connected by cable to the city's power grid and never mind hydrogen? It would be expensive but so is using hydrogen. (Singapore has recently declared it would prefer hydrogen to power through a subsea cable, and even has an impressive sounding strategy in place. This mainly involves further study of the issue - just like all the other plans.) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Large scale actual use. The price of the hydrogen is the issue. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
