Hydrogen is being strongly promoted by governments, especially in Europe and North America, as part of their ‘net zero’ climate strategies. This is despite the fact that, so far, 98% of
hydrogen has been made from fossil fuels, resulting in even more CO2 emissions than burning the same fossil fuels directly for energy. This is even true in the small number of cases where CO2 from hydrogen production is being captured. However, there is growing momentum for expanding so-called ‘green hydrogen’, made from renewable electricity.
