Japan's hydrogen strategy does nothing for decarbonisation: study
Hydrogen is 100% an attempt by fossil fuel companies to remain relevant in a &quot;green energy&quot; world. The primary source for hydrogen would be from methane in natural gas, and they could then sell this as a &quot;zero pollution fuel&quot; while continuing their non-renewable energy business as normal.<p>If you read between the lines and look at the companies involved, they&#x27;re always linked to fossil fuel companies directly or indirectly. That, or fossil fuel powered vehicle manufacturers that are reluctant to completely retool their factories.<p>Hydrogen has a few legitimate use cases, such as iron ore refining and chemical feedstock, but that&#x27;s about it. In all other scenarios, battery-based technology is <i>vastly</i> superior along multiple metrics.
