Study finds GWP of electrolyzed hydrogen to meet ORD’s fuel needs would be 2.5x that of fossil fuels with 2020 grid mix

Green Car Congress

He looked at three different resources that forecast the future composition of the US electrical power grid. From those, he learned of multiple plans for how the US could feasibly achieve a fully renewable grid by the year 2035. These might be a combination of solar arrays or wind turbines.
