It’s lovely to think there are vast sources of continuously produced clean hydrogen from chemical reactions of water on hot rocks within the Earth, ready to be tapped as a clean energy source and solve the world’s energy problems. A great story, but it’s likely too good to be true.
Hydrogen production is touted by the Canadian government and others around the world as a clean alternative to fossil fuel use, but climate-impact assessments are vulnerable to miscalculations, according to new research by the Environmental Defense Fund.
A planned clean energy hydrogen project in Prince George, B.C., will reduce carbon emissions at a local pulp mill and create jobs, Premier David Eby said on Tuesday.
Oil and gas companies that pushed the federal government for more funding for carbon capture technology will be sorely disappointed by the fall economic statement.
