BASF, the world?s largest chemical company, may have a solution. It?s developing a process that could cut those emissions in half, making hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles significantly cleaner than electric vehicles in most locations |
Yes there are better ways of making hydrogen that are just around the corner, and I even addressed one in my post, but that is only part of the point.
Look at it this way. It is super-fast, easy and cheap to "transport" electricity to anywhere including your home and charging stations. The same is not true for Hydrogen. After its refined, it must be chilled, then compressed, then transported, then stored. Just getting Hydrogen from the plant to the car is both expensive and adds lots of greenhouse gasses to the air.

With new tech for making Hydrogen coming out, this is a much better solution

No, its not.

Yes actually it is fairly easy to make Hydrogen and in fact, you can make it yourself with a plastic bucket of water, 2 glass jars, some wire and some batteries. You could even argue that you could place a solar panel on your room and make your own Hydrogen out of well water. It would work, but it requires alot of energy and would therefore take too long to do, and not be very efficient either. Next generation Nuclear reactors would do it faster and be more efficient, and maybe BASF's new method would be faster too.
