In mid-2022, the International Renewable Energy Agency counted 32 countries that had adopted hydrogen strategies and 11 others that were preparing such plans. Airplanes, for example, won’t be able to fly long distances on battery power. Why all the hype about hydrogen? That variability will also strain the electrical systems.
