Chemical engineer questions Belledune hydrogen plan

Can you blame Angela Merkel for most of the illogical political direction?

Hydrogen will be good if it comes from Alberta using carbon capture and bad if it is green from renewable sources? LOL

Lets see the numbers and the full environmental impact assessment of both. I agree there are lots of questions to be answered. But you might as well ignore the ones coming from the petro province and negative nelly climate change deniers.

Oh yeah I forgot Alberta dosen't like environmental impact assessments. Kenney tried hard to renew interest in off shore companies mining coal in the Rockies but ran into a lot of opposition from ranchers and landowners because of the environmental impact.

Do you smoke crack? Your post isn’t relevant to this discussion. Go blow your load at a NFU or NDP rally.

Wilton, Alberta is already producing hydrogen and interested in producing more if you hadn't noticed.

If Alberta is interested in hydrogen and the market opportunities it must be good? Right?

But lets see the cost of producing hydrogen from natural gas using carbon capture vs green hydrogen from renewables. As well as the environmental impact.

Overview

Alberta is preparing for a lower emission future. The Hydrogen Roadmap is a key part of that future and Alberta's Recovery Plan. The roadmap is our path to building a provincial hydrogen economy and accessing global markets. It contains several policy actions that will be introduced in the coming months and years, and it provides support to the sector as technology and markets develop.

Alberta is already the largest hydrogen producer in Canada. We have all the resources, expertise, and technology needed to quickly become a global supplier of clean, low-cost hydrogen. With a worldwide market estimated to be worth over $2.5 trillion a year by 2050, hydrogen can be the next great energy export that fuels jobs, investment and economic opportunity across our province.

Silence from Wilton now that Alberta is also interested in more hydrogen production?

Chuck, you are so low information its pathetic. The difference between Ab hydrogen and NFLD hydrogen is that ABs is a byproduct of its existing refining and extraction processes. The sunk cost has been paid for for yrs. Now they just have to collect and transport it and surprise, all the pipelines start at Edmonton. They can slip a 5% blend into the countries natural gas system like nothing. Enbridge is already doing that. A 5% blend could probably be sent to one of BCs LNG plants and shipped to asia.

NFLD is trying to build a money losing project (windmills & solar) using more valuable electricity to purposefully extract it. Their project is no where cost competitive to anything thats done in AB. No port, no storage, no pipelines. Cant even use NFLD H2 in Canada, it has no way to get on shore unless we build a receiving port up the St Lawrence.

Stupidest idea ever conceived by a politicians.

Glad to see you are in favour of using hydrogen as an energy carrier/source.

So whats the cost of carbon and capture and storage to make blue hydrogen more green? Show us the numbers. LOL

And there he goes again, claiming hydrogen is an energy source. How do we possibly have a constructive intellectual conversation about energy when the other side insists on displaying such willful ignorance.

Sometimes it’s best to remain silent and let folks dig their own hole. As was alluded Alberta’s hydrogen is a byproduct from upgrading and refining hydrocarbons. Where did I say I was against using hydrogen? I think I as have others did that liquifying hydrogen in Newfoundland and sending it to Germany is not cost effective, profitable nor energy efficient. Good try to pick a fight and put someone down but I am not taking the bait. Go to town with your family and have an ice cream at the concession by the beach. Your blood sugar is getting too low.

Well then at least now Chuck and company have an excuse. But how do they possibly explain all the previous years of posting here?
