2022—The Year the Hydrogen Economy Launched?

Cars That Think

Among the technological visions that seem perpetually futuristic (think commercial nuclear fusion and maglev trains), the hydrogen economy has always been tantalizing. In short, it could do anything fossil fuels do now, but with substantially reduced climate impact. Costs of gray hydrogen vary but are roughly $2 a kg in the U.S.

Perspective: Why Carbon Emissions Should Not Have Been the Focus of the UN Climate Change Summit and Why the 15th Conference of the Parties Should Have Focused on Technology Transfer

Green Car Congress

Oceans, already expanding from warmth and melting glaciers, would rise, increasing coastal flooding; a chain reaction of climate changes is projected to lead to harsher, more widespread droughts and more powerful storms. Lomborg estimates that for every dollar spent, the world will avoid only about two cents of climate damage.
