Study finds GWP of electrolyzed hydrogen to meet ORD’s fuel needs would be 2.5x that of fossil fuels with 2020 grid mix

Green Car Congress

However, the development of a fully renewable electrical grid in the US by 2035 is technically and socially viable, and if realized electrolyzed hydrogen can serve as a compelling zero-emissions solution for aviation. But that perspective doesn’t include all of the energy needs throughout the fuel’s life cycle.
