Canary Media thanks Verdagy for its support of the Clean Hydrogen series.
Should our clean energy future rely more on electrons or on molecules?
That’s the question at the core of the battle over clean hydrogen, a potential fossil-fuel substitute that burns without emitting carbon dioxide.
Right now, the vast majority of the world’s energy comes from molecules — dirty ones. They’re the product of billions upon billions of gallons of fossil fuels, pumped, refined and transported each year via the trillions of dollars of infrastructure that forms the circulation system for the modern industrial economy. Today, that system is owned and operated for the profit of private and government-owned fossil fuel companies.
But there’s an alternative circulation system — the electric grid — that is inherently more efficient at delivering energy. It’s also the carrier of the clean electrons, generated from sun, wind, water and…
