Michael Liebreich on Why 'We'll Just Use Hydrogen' Is a Bad Idea

Why watch it?

Michael Liebreich, founder of Bloomberg New Energy Finance, tells Mark Lynas on WePlanet's Bad Idea podcast that green hydrogen is overhyped, fundamentally flawed as a fuel and likely to stay niche. Topics include thermodynamics and cost, hydrogen colours, shipping liquid hydrogen, the gap with grey hydrogen, RED III and aviation fuel costs, and his Hydrogen Ladder. Figures such as only 0.1% of some 100 million tonnes of annual use being green are unverified. A deliberately critical view.
