Environment & Energy

Today, most hydrogen (as you point out) is produced from methane (“Natural Gas”) for the simple reason that it’s the cheapest way to do it. We’ve been doing it that way for a long time, but, we’ve also known how to produce it using electrolysis.

So, here’s the thing, producing electricity using “renewable” sources of energy, like wind and solar is getting cheaper and cheaper, while the price of natural gas will go up. When Russia invaded Ukraine, “Natural Gas” prices jumped, making “green hydrogen” cost competitive.

When electrolysis becomes reliably less expensive than steam reforming of “Natural Gas” the market will naturally shift.
