I’m not convinced that hydrogen (green or otherwise) makes sense for powering transportation. I think it’s best use case is in replacing fossil fuels in high-temperature industrial processes.

    The insane growth of solar power, especially in China, and solar efficiency, negates a lot of the potential promises of hydrogen cells.

    the first commercial high capacity batteries made with non-rare materials can change energy infrastructure at any moment.

    there are literally dozens of existing next gen battery candidates being pushed to commercial viability.

    One of them’s going to be viable, and then more of them are going to be viable.

    hydrogen cells aren’t going to fail because of the small amount of green hydrogen being produced, that will inevitably increase and become a more efficient process, but the timeline in the gains realized by that investment in hydrogen would be better spent in true renewables, which support green hydrogen anyway.
