If you were familiar with the technology, you’d understand why it has failed to come to market for so long. You need enormous subsidies to sell vehicles and even then you cannot efficiently produce “Green H2”
Halting emissions is the most efficient method of reducing total emissions. Capture is extraordinarily expensive and inefficient, particularly when you’re still using carbon-based infrastructure to power compressors.
This isn’t a “right now” issue. Its been an ongoing problem since the '90s. And yes, throwing 10x your investment in a working solution on a speculative technology for 35 years running is a bad idea.
Now you sound like the people advocating against renewables.
The O&G industry has been the primary promoter of fuel cell technology. They never deliver and they’ve had far more money and time to work on this problem than the nascent solar and wind industries.
In proportion to their value add. Enormous investments in a low yield long shot against minor investment in a sure thing is a bad strategy
It’s not a long shot though. We already know this technology works as it has been tested on small scales.
Factually inaccurate
Prove it.
Fuel Cells Are Not the Problem, the Hydrogen Fuel Is

We were talking about direct carbon capture in this thread. Hydrogen was a separate topic.
Carbon Capture costs are far higher than reducing emissions with each ton of carbon costing between $230 and $540.
Halting emissions is the most efficient method of reducing total emissions. Capture is extraordinarily expensive and inefficient, particularly when you’re still using carbon-based infrastructure to power compressors.
So just because it’s expensive right now means we shouldn’t do it or research it? Now you sound like the people advocating against renewables.
