A Little Too Good To Be True: Hydrogen, The Magic Fuel
Did You Know
We all know that water is made up of hydrogen and oxygen, but did you know that hydrogen can also be used as a fuel? But is it too good to be true? Listen now.
Today, almost all the hydrogen we produce is used to make other things like fertilizer or petroleum. But it's never made it big as a fuel. It's just always been easier and cheaper to directly burn fossil fuels instead. But that is changing. As the world is slowly waking up to the climate crisis, companies and entire countries are committing to not only reduce emissions, but to reach. "Net zero." “With net zero, everyone has to do something. Take the steel industry. It uses lots of energy and is responsible for around eight percent of global CO2 emissions. It was long thought that only fossil fuels could power the chemical reactions needed to turn iron ore into steel. But hydrogen can get the job done as well –while also being clean-burning, so only leaving behind water.
