When it comes to clean energy, hydrogen has commanded considerable attention lately. Not only is hydrogen one of the most abundant elements on earth, it is also a potential zero emissions natural gas with wide applications from transport to industrial. Indeed, many net zero energy transition models include “green hydrogen” in their projections. Yet currently…
I’m guessing distribution infrastructure would have to change though. Hydrogen is hell on a lot of common materials.
The neat thing about smelting with hydrogen, is that apparently it can happen at much lower temperatures. Sponge iron can be made at like 600C, which is more like what you’d expect to see casting aluminum.
