There’s A Fly In Hydrogen Fuel Idea That Makes Methane
March 14, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Often heralded as the clean fuel of the future, new hydrogen research suggests that a leaky hydrogen infrastructure could end up increasing atmospheric methane levels. Hydrogen’s potential as a clean fuel could be limited by a chemical reaction in the lower atmosphere, which would cause decades-long climate consequences. The research from Princeton University and […]
