Howarth/Jacobson “Blue” Hydrogen Assessment Stronger Than Bauer Et Al’s (Part 1 of 2)
Comparing Jacobson and Howarth’s “blue” hydrogen CO2e emissions paper to Bauer et al’s makes it clear that Jacobson and Howarth are much more correct.

In the end, the laws of thermodynamics will win. Hype doesn’t stand a chance against reality in the long term. The $39 trillion in future profits is up for grabs, and the fossil fuel industry is fighting hard to keep as much of it as possible, or at least delay its loss as long as possible.
That’s the reason why there’s all this tribalism in alternative fuels. There’s $39 trillion in future profits in the industry up for grabs.
Long-haul shipping remains a hard problem for decarbonization. Maersk’s purchase isn’t going to address it. The roughly $150 million extra that it paid for the 8 ships is about 0.4% of Maersk’s annual revenues, or about 1.5% of its expected 2021 profits.
Agora’s CO2-based redox flow battery technology is an industrial component from the future.
United Airlines cuts to the rapid decarbonization mustard: tree planting offsets good, zero emission electric airplanes gooder.
Clean Planet Energy says it is creating clean fuels for ships and airplanes from non-recyclable plastic waste.
Blue gas is an expensive shell game being promoted by the fossil fuel industry with help from automotive industry executives who are stuck in the sunk costs fallacy about their investments in internal combustion engines.
Elon Musk has put up $100 million to spur research into carbon capture technologies that actually work.
Long-haul aviation is a hard global warming nut to crack, and assessing methanol as a potential nutcracker shows why.
