Hydrogen power is an exciting form of clean energy. But hydrogen typically needed to be produced in a lab using energy-intensive methods. White hydrogen, a newly identified hydrogen source, could eliminate the need for lab production.

    Hydrogen power, outside of maybe the highly specific circumstances at play in Japan, just doesn’t make any sense.

    The poster’s example of Hydrogen in Japan I wouldn’t even call a Hydrogen solution. They’re making green hydrogen from some other energy source. Japan isn’t even keeping the resulting hydrogen generated, they’re immediately turning it into something else for transport and storage.

    The thread original premise of white hydrogen, possibly being burned in situ in France for electricity generation, I’d call a real hydrogen solution, but it is so very specific that I’m not sure its applicable anywhere else on Earth.
