    Carbon capture and storage gas has such a catchy ring to it, but it’s never worked on any commercial scale and for all intents and purposes is a money sink.

    there may well be sound environmental reasons why hydrogen production for fuel won’t work.

    the chief reason though for it not having a future is that commercially it can’t be justified without free energy, which doesn’t exist.

    remember the gas industry well and truly captured Squat Morrison, who voted close on A$250 million in a recent budget to help establish the hydrogen fuel industry.

    but the huge amount of gas that would be used as an input to hydrogen production gaurantees its failure in commercial terms. The economics of hydrogen production using gas as a fuel are horrendous.

    the gas industry of course loves it.
