CICERO-led study finds global warming effect of leaked hydrogen almost 12x stronger than CO2

Green Car Congress

In this way, emissions of hydrogen can cause global warming, despite its lack of direct radiative properties. Hydrogen is not a greenhouse gas, but its chemical reactions in the atmosphere affect greenhouse gases such as methane, ozone, and stratospheric water vapor. The climate effects of hydrogen have been an under-researched topic.
