RE:RE:The energy source is fossil-free e l e c t r i c i t y . .So you take electricity, turn into hydrogen (with a loss of energy due to conversion), then store it, transport it, store it again and then burn it... Instead, you could just pass wires from clean electrical source to plasma burner... No storage, no transport, no transformation loss...Which would you choose?

from fossil-free Swedish sources. The emissions would then be normal water.
