  1. "Environemntally friendly hydrogen" just showcases the legacy of bias held since the 2000s from anti-EV Oil and auto propaganda. The details of production for H2 gas is largely unknown outside those who understand the comparisons to battery electrics. The most commercially viable and invested process is steam reforming natural gas (which produces CO2), and therefore can never fossil fuel free. Electrolysis can be totally 100% renewable, but energy return yields are at best 50% (slightly better than internal combustion). 9l litres of water and 56kWh of energy is needed to create 1kg of pressurised hydrogen fuel. This poses another problem down the line with water availability and the high scale production of H2 that the EU is boasting for may also demand a sea water desalination plant.

  2. Exactly. 9l litres of water is needed to create 1kg of hydrogen.
