Hydrogen combustion engines for data center backup represent a low-priority path.These generators typically operate under 100 hours per year, so their COβ contribution is negligible globally.Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) already provide higher electrical efficiency, zero NOx at the stack, usable high-temperature waste heat, and are scaling through modular GW-scale manufacturing. Oversizing SOFC systems for primary power can deliver the required availability (multiple 9s) without traditional combustion backup.Resources would be better directed toward high-impact solutions like primary power decarbonization.
@GeneralMCNews Behind the meter gas fired old school engines.. Combustion pulsations hum at various frequencies and can travel. They should force them to use electro chemistry same input (gas) no pulsations, no nox, more efficiency. #sofc
@DomSchiener@EU_Commission Thats great news - does anyone have any idea when demand for tokens other than for speculation, will pick up. I.e. token utility in real life. Seems like this should already be happening, but the price isnβt showing it.
It would be interesting to see the total kinetic plus potential energy a each point along the x axis. I assume its constant (ignoring friction). Set the datum for h in pe formula to be the straight path, such that the straight ball has pe zero, the curvy ball alternates between hero and -x potential energy.
@business@BloombergTV@ErikSchatzker The current inflation is cost push driven by global energy commodities! What good is tapering? They should be accommodative so that energy tech can solve the energy crisis.. The root cause of inflation!
@CathieDWood in my opinion, the hydrogen revolution will be the biggest disruption in human history.2/3 of the plant is covered by ocean, the photons from the sun are stranded. Hydrogen can bring them to market. In the meantime,natural gas converted to blue hydrogen will ensure big oil buy in
@Breakthrough The technology already exists! we need scale! we need new configurations! and we need carbon prices.. #breakthrough can influence all of the above..
@POTUS indeed! US produced renewable energy will massively reduce inflationary pressure in the long run. Cost push inflation from global energy commodities is the biggest risk.. Renewables and hydrogen are the solution.
