Blending Hydrogen into NatGas Pipelines – Hurdles & Potential
Hydrogen is a topic we return to from time to time because not only are (some) leftists promoting it as a replacement for natural gas and fossil energy, many in the oil and gas space are taking an interest too. One reason why hydrogen is of interest is the opportunity to turn methane into hydrogen, capturing carbon dioxide as you do so (called "blue" hydrogen). It has the potential to be a large, new customer for M-U molecules. But lefties push the use of electricity from windmills and solar farms to produce hydrogen by passing an electric current through water--so-called "green" hydrogen. There's still a huge problem for the left to solve even with green hydrogen: How to get that hydrogen from point A to point B without breaking the bank. Enter the latest/greatest idea...blend hydrogen with natural gas and send it down existing natgas pipelines. Maybe even take over some existing natgas pipes and repurpose them to be hydrogen-only pipes.
