WPR’s campaign also explicitly promotes hydrogen as a viable fuel for domestic heating. With targets now set for the phase-out of gas boilers in countries across Europe, in recent years, gas companies in the UK and the EU have lobbied hard for hydrogen over heat pumps – the model which offers the least disruption to their business model.

The company says solid hydrogen is the key to bringing the solution to the market in as little as a couple of years. The cylinder contains a patented solution of solid hydrogen, which reportedly has more efficient storage capabilities than batteries or liquid H2. Any excess energy will be sold to the power grid.

” But Sridhar placed even higher expectations on a longer-range plan to adapt Bloom’s solid-oxide fuel cell technology, originally designed to run on natural gas and emit carbon dioxide, to generate electricity from hydrogen, make "green" hydrogen via electrolysis or capture the carbon from "blue" hydrogen made from natural gas.

Contrary to the IEA's conclusions that no further fossil fuel exploration is needed after 2021, Shell's plan aims to "grow natural gas supply to keep our plants full" - admittedly largely from third parties - while creating vast carbon sinks for offsets to justify its continued fossil fuel production. A 'wake-up call' for natural gas.

As one example, we are working on developing green hydrogen or green ammonia using geothermal-powered electrolyzers. Another idea: in the same way that solar PV is helping geothermal plants, onshore wind plants could be supported by geothermal power from deep sedimentary basins—for example, in the wind belt of west Texas.
