I referred to this graphic, and reproduced it, discussing a paper in the journal I discussed above here: The current sources and uses of hydrogen.

It is all marketing, a "bait and switch" game. It's a reason I believe that high school students should be required to have at least a qualitative understanding of the laws of thermodynamics.

In a short while, possibly minutes, but definitely within 24 hours, fossil fuel disguised as hydrogen ads, the ads themselves disguised as informative posts involving nothing but appeals to wishful thinking, will appear in this forum. Trust me, I have a lot of experience with this.

The pollution generated by hydrogen is related to its manufacture from dangerous fossil fuels. It is a DIRTY fuel. NNadir Oct 2024 #5
Can't you make hydrogen from water? surfered Oct 2024 #7
Yes, but the fossil fuel industry wants us to believe it must be made from fossil fuels only. Think. Again. Oct 2024 #9
Thank you. So, if made from water and with safety precautions, it could be an ok, non polluting fuel source? surfered Oct 2024 #11
