The clean-burning fuel does not produce carbon emissions upon consumption and so can replace fossil fuels in many sectors including heavy industry, transportation and heating. Currently, the majority of hydrogen around the world is produced from fossil fuels (76% from natural gas, 23% from coal).

Coal is often called the dirtiest fossil fuel. Fossil fuels are composed of carbon and hydrogen. Regulations eventually reined in that problem, but coal-fired power plants still emit pollutants like mercury. They even emit more radioactive elements than a nuclear power plant. What is meant by that?

That’s a different challenge than that faced by summer-peaking systems that can expect solar power and energy storage to help meet air conditioning demand. States that have set 100 percent zero-carbon or renewable energy mandates can force utilities to forego new fossil fuel projects, as has happened recently in Virginia and New Mexico.
