Hydrogen’s Future May Follow Path Blazed by Natural Gas
As if they were even similar products. Let me put it like this: Hydrogen is a dangerous gas as it explodes easily and is hard to contain as it degrades many materials and diffuses through everything. Besides, it’s hard and expensive to produce, to store and even usage is not straightforward. There are many reasons why you don’t want to use hydrogen straight. Methane is hydrogen in a stable, non-dangerous, non-corrosive form thats easy and cheap to produce, handle and store. Thats what carbon does – it ennobles hydrogen. Why go for the hard stuff if nature gives us the solution?
