RE:Cost of CLEAN (Green) Hydrogen ArcelorMittal further explains the current limitations and also challenges today for switching to hydrogen and explains the use of plasma as a solution that is available today to significantly reduce GHG emissions, here is an excerpt and the full article linked below, enjoy.
'We are also looking for more ways we could potentially recycle the waste carbon from our steelmaking processes over the longer term. For instance, the IGAR project at Dunkirk, France is trying to capture the CO2 from the blast furnace and reform it into a hot reductant gas using plasma torch technology and renewable electricity. The gas would be then injected back into the blast furnace to be reused, replacing fossil coal. The process has been demonstrated in the lab and should be ready for a first industrial pilot test in 2020.'
ArcelorMittal plans Hydrogen research project with HAW in Hamburg.
stay safe!

(read the linked article to explain it more).
Bottom line is the Hydrogen that is being tested right now for the solution to start cutting back on GHG emissions is in fact still producing CO2, just a bit less than straight fossil fuels.
Enter
PYRO PLASMA torches, with todays not so green Hydrogen and
PYRO PLASMA torches, the three main industries, Iron ore, Steel, and Cement, can achieve their short to mid term goals and requirements for reducing GHG emissions with significant cost savings as a byproduct.
PYRO PLASMA torches can eliminate and or reuse/repurpose the CO2 that will still be generated thereby achieving
net zero faster,
producing products faster, and all this at
lower cost to produce higher quality products. WIN for the environment – WIN for the producers – WIN for Pyrogeneisis - that can be a reality TODAY!
A wake-up call on green hydrogen Stay safe and Have a great Canada Day tomorrow!
