, which would in turn use it as feedstock in a proposed “renewable diesel” facility in Alberta. Imperial also hopes to use some low-carbon hydrogen to create clean electricity, and for use as a fuel in downstream sectors, creating carbon offsets that the company saidThe proposed Air Products facility would use natural gas and auto-thermal reforming, combined with carbon capture technology, to produce hydrogen, which the company estimates would capture 95 per cent of the carbon emissions.

Although a proponent of hydrogen as a bridge technology for the energy transition, Klippenstein said every kilogram of hydrogen produced — without the carbon capture and other features that Air Products is proposing — leads to about 10 kilograms of greenhouse gases.

That’s either a giant podium or a tiny man.

Here is a link to an article about the state of zero-emissions hydrogen fuel cells vehicles in Canada and the USA. It is crazy this technology is not built up yet.

That's a joke, that amount will be enough for a feasibility study only.
