Debunking The Myth: Today’s Industrial Use of Hydrogen Doesn’t Mean It’s A Good Energy Carrier

Credit to Author: Michael Barnard| Date: Sat, 15 Mar 2025 20:39:31 +0000

Advocates of hydrogen often misleadingly point to its widespread industrial use today as evidence of its potential as a broad energy carrier. This, however, is a clear example of the equivocation fallacy: the term “hydrogen use” is subtly shifted from its real-world role in industry to suggest a broader, more … [continued]

Debunking The Myth: Hydrogen Isn’t Really A Clean Burning Fuel

Credit to Author: Michael Barnard| Date: Fri, 14 Mar 2025 19:08:48 +0000

Hydrogen is often celebrated as the fuel of the future, heralded as a perfect solution that emits no carbon dioxide (CO₂) when burned or utilized in fuel cells. Yet, while technically correct — hydrogen itself emits no carbon dioxide upon combustion — the framing of hydrogen as a fully ‘clean’ … [continued]
