Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Er... if the process emits CO2 where is it coming from?

Which process?

The process. The whole pipeline to use H2/CH4/NH3. You start with electricity and end up with work, if CO2 is coming out then it must enter the process at some point, n'est pas?

Sorry, I'm lost. Where in your diary is that pipeline? What is the (unique?) process?

There are many hydrogen fuel cell technologies, depending on the electrolytes used. I don't think many involve "a pipeline to use H2/CH4/NH3".

Given that H2 is only an ineffective gaseous energy store at present, whether or not there is CO2 depends on how the power is produced. Such an inefficient energy store makes it more difficult to accomplish tasks on any given renewable energy budget and more likely that non-renewable energy is required as an energy source.


I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
