Beware people talking clean hydrogen, they are the ones who brought you clean coal
https://reneweconomy.com.au/beware-people-talking-clean-hydrogen-they-are-the-one-who-brought-you-clean-coal/

"Clean Coal" is a furphy, and it's looking like "Clean Hydrogen" is unattainable. In reality, practically all hydrogen made today is extracted from fossil fuels, or is made from water by electrolysis that's powered by a non-renewable source of electricity.

Some people talk about "Blue hydrogen" and claim they're cracked the secret of making it in commercial volumes at a price that's competitive with renewables, but they're not being honest with you about the cost or the quality of their product. Proponents claim that coal — such as Victoria's incredibly dirty, low-quality, high-pollutant brown coal — can be transformed into "Brown Hydrogen" or "Black Hydrogen" by capturing the carbon liberated during the hydrogen extraction process using Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). Same goes for "Blue Hydrogen" that's extracted from fossil gas.
They're sorta correct, in the sense that you can get out hydrogen. But if you blink you'll miss seeing where the Carbon goes. By then, they'll attempt to scratch off the label to rebrand their dirty hydrogen as "Green Hydrogen".

Herein lies the scam: they're saying is can be done cleanly. The problem is that they're using CSS as part of the process. It would be nice if CCS worked at an industrial scale at any price, but it doesn't. Countless millions of dollars have been poured by governments around the world into CCS pilot-plants at fossil fuel companies. The fossil fuel companies have all pocketed the money and failed to produce results.

Scratch the surface of any hydrogen-bro, and you'll find a hydrocarbon-bro who's deliberately propping-up the unsustainable coal/gas/petrol industry or is an unwitting fool who's science-illiterate.

"THIS is what we're hinging Canada's #NetZeroBy2050 ambitions on? It's a gobsmacking leap of faith and quite frankly on the climate file this industry and the #PathwaysAlliance has done nothing to deserve it."

It's just straight up public relations & #SocialLicense and if Canada throws 50 billion dollars at it that's money we'll NEVER get back. Alberta #OilAndGas should just spend its own money, they're making more than ever before.

#CarbonCaptureAndStorage is a rearguard action from a sunsetting industry seeking to maximize profits doing business as usual, all the while acting like they're doing something to save us from all the wildfires & smoke we now breathe that they can no longer just outright deny

If #CarbonCaptureAndStorage is such a good deal for Canada how come none of the big time investors want to touch it with a ten foot pole? What do they know that the #PathwaysAlliance isn't telling Canadians?

#CarbonCaptureAndStorage will one day reveal itself as a costly boondoggle from an Industry that lied on #Climate since the 80s, one last swindle from a sunsetting Industry that at the top knows it's sunsetting & will leave Alberta & every one of its workers behind

"But those #Scope3 emissions adding up to 80% of the overall product-related emissions IS their problem. It's mine too. It's everybody's. That 80% you'd like to ignore directly causes more ClimateChange that we can now literally taste in our mouths.

As far as a climate solution goes #CarbonCaptureAndStorage just flat out ain't good enough."

"One of the great many problems around #CarbonCaptureAndStorage involves leaving 80% of the emissions associated with the product (also known as Scope 3 or what I think of as the end product or consumer use) unaddressed. 'We don't burn it. Somebody else does. Not our problem. That's not how you solve an increasingly deadly & expensive #ClimateEmergency."

"The #NetZeroBy2050 plan being championed by the #BigOil consortium known as the #PathwaysAlliance relies heavily on #CarbonCaptureAndStorage, one of the great many problems around which involves leaving 80% of the associated emissions unaddressed. It's a fail & not a small one."
