Compared with burning coal, natural gas emits about half the carbon dioxide and substantially less soot, mercury and sulfur. Natural gas must be developed with safeguards to reduce impacts on water, air quality, land, nearby communities and ecosystems. —Mark Zoback, a professor of geophysics and NGI’s director.

The carbon-free rigs will pack 50 kilos of hydrogen zapped from water using electricity from the refinery’s dedicated solar power plant. And while coal plants still supplied over half of Australia’s power in 2021, change is afoot. Government grants and loans and high diesel prices help make hydrogen competitive.

Let’s look at the benefits and issues of using Hydrogen as fuel and remember that efficiency in the total power supply train, not just at the motor is critical. Most of the hydrogen on Earth exists in molecular forms such as water and organic compounds. This is critical to understanding the bigger picture of energy politics.

New Zealand’s liquid fuel bill will certainly increase again, and there may be security of supply difficulties. Algae could well play a valuable subsidiary role, especially if its use as a biofuel feedstock can provide the added benefit of improving water quality.

The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace.

Denmark did that with Wind Power and now most of their energy comes from wind rather than oil, natural gas, or coal. Why grant them the privledge to spend our money in the first place? If our country is going to spend money like a drunk sailor we should have spent it on building renewable energy power plants like Wind and Geothermal.
