Ann: New Route to Hydrogen and Graphene-Based Battery Materials F, page-20

...that's interesting. A few days ago I saw a documentation about hydrogen. A big player - Shell - is working in this field, they want to build a production plant to produce hydrogen from hydrocarbon by 2025/27 (I don't remember exactly). A pilot plant is already in place - the beauty of this in regards to graphene is, that you get 100% pure carbon feedstock to produce graphene. (https://www.shell.de/medien/shell-publikationen/shell-hydrogen-study/_jcr_content/par/toptasks_e705.stream/1497968967778/1c581c203c88bea74d07c3e3855cf8a4f90d587e/shell-hydrogen-study.pdf - page 12). That implies a better quality in comparison to the graphene produced from Sri Lanka vein graphite.

I am not totally convinced about the hydrogen route of the EU. If the energy storage technology improves I don't see the demand for hydrogen anymore. Electricity to Hydrogen and Hydrogen to Electricity = conversion loss. Would be far more efficient to to store the electricity in a battery/pseudo cap. Also compared to electricity, hydrogen is more complex to store/transport and it is explosive. But currently there is no energy storage device matching the requirements (fast charging, capacity, durability, etc.). So if FGR is able to profit from the upcoming hydrogen hype I am fine with that ;-)
