This is the third is a series of posts that take a quick look at key clean energy sectors.
Earlier this week we covered nuclear and geothermal. Both technologies I consider lynchpins to achieving net-zero. I say this because they offer continuous power and rely on generally proven and well-understood technologies that don’t require rearchitecting the grid.
The problem with both is cost and development cycles. However, both problems are solvable without the need for massive new infrastructure or major social changes. What’s required is regulatory changes and economies of scale. And when it comes to the challenges faced to achieve net-zero, both are relatively small hurdles.
Today is hydrogen’s turn. The versatility of hydrogen is tantalizing. It holds the promise of decarbonizing a multitude of applications from transportation to power generation. But hydrogen also comes with a multitude of technical roadblocks.
Check out today’s post for a snapshot of hydrogen’s status. Tomorrow we’ll wrap up with a look at carbon capture.
