The rising threat of global warming requires that every country act now. One might argue that the onus of reversing global warming should fall on the developed world, which on a per capita basis consumes much more energy and emits significantly more greenhouse gases. While electricity from older coal plants in India costs 2.7

Hydrogen is thus greasing the wheels of the global transition to cleaner energy. In 2021, global hydrogen demand was 94 million tonnes, most of it used in refining and in chemical industries. Almost all hydrogen produced today is designated as brown, black, or gray, meaning it was generated by burning natural gas or coal.

It’s very similar to the infrastructure for electric cars because the idea, ultimately, for electric cars is that you also are revamping your grid to facilitate, whatchamacallit, intermittent renewable energy sources, like wind and solar, because having an electric car that runs off a coal-fired power plant is defeating the purpose, essentially.
