Hydrogen - not a good solution for replacing hydrocarbon fuels. Here's physics talking:
@Niall the best way to capture carbon has always been to leave the already sequestered carbon in the ground. That means rapidly electrify everything and develop non fossil fuel energy sources. This great video really explains the absurdity of CCS as proposed by the fossil fuel industry and big emitters.

Form Energy, the nascent iron-air battery manufacturer, looks like a company to follow. In August they announced ground-breaking at their first Fe-air installation (a 1.5 MW project) in Cambridge, Minnesota
Here's an MIT Technology Review profile on Form Energy: https://www.technologyreview.com/2024/10/01/1104382/2024-climate-tech-companies-form-energy-iron-batteries/

The world's largest electric ferry is being built in Tasmania:
To #decarbonize the #housing sector, we need to go from 66 million fossil fuel #heatingsystems to zero over the next three decades.
In order to achieve this goal, we need to phase out 2.4 million #fossilfuel #furnaces every single year for the next 27 years. This is where the math gets a little scary.
Great #energy #dataviz from NYTimes today.
The article is about #ElectrifyEverything but you can see how dominant driving is as an energy demand. And this doesn't even include petroleum extraction and refining.
