Green hydrogen – energy storage
Geologic or gold hydrogen has potential to be part of the clean energy transition. Potential LCA and cost is low ($1kg), but there are technological and economic hurdles Co-production of helium with geologic hydrogen could be a key factor in making this technology commercially viable.
Research and development may determine the true potential of geologic hydrogen.

China is a good comparison of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. In Foshan city an H2 tram has been mothball and when you look at all cars and public transport, it is hard to see where the use case for hydrogen is.

Previously we outlined ten reasons hydrogen was dead for transportation, yet we see Stellantis flawed hydrogen strategy proposed by the CEO. Despite Carolos Tavares says in an online event that the cost of hydrogen mobility is ‘sky high’, just two months after introducing eight new H2 van models.
