My point is simple.
Hydrogen derived from natural gas can not be used in fuel cells. Only hydrolysis hydrogen is viable.
It is one of 'many' reasons why hydrogen fuel will never be a thing.

Along with Hydrogen seeping through everything

Along with Hydrogen embrittlement
The energy efficiency loss to convert Solar/Wind/Nuc -> Hydrogen -> Mechanical or Solar/Wind/Nuc -> Hydrogen -> Electrical -> Mechanical
Will never be cost effective compared to Solar/Wind/Nuc -> Electrical(batt) -> Mechanical
Hydrogen has been known to man for a 1000 years, and yet
Gobal International WARS have been fought in the past century along with massive geopolitical maneuvering and trillions upon trillions of $$$ spent on the energy sector.
Do you really thing we'd be spending the $$$ we do for deep sea drilling if hydrogen was even close to being a viable resource?
No new technology has been developed that makes hydrogen useful. No. Fuel Cells are not it.
There just isn't enough energy gained by connecting Hydrogen -> Oxygen no matter what process you come up with.
Unless we find a way to fuse hydrogen together, hydrogen is a dead end and always has been.
Dude,
Close down /m/internet and /m/science so that someone else can create it and properly moderate it.
