#39 Hot air hydrogen?
The natural gas industry and some politicians suggest that green hydrogen is the solution to making gas heating and road traffic climate-neutral. Really? In this podcast, we analyze whether it is possible to produce sufficient quantities of green hydrogen for Germany by 2045, how realistic it is that we will heat our homes with hydrogen in the future, and what role hydrogen cars and trucks will play in future transportation.
