'Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, fossil fuel companies would rather invest in hydrogen and carbon capture and storage than address the problem of climate change directly,' writes Joanne Kilgour, executive director of the Ohio River Valley Institute.
refers to a three-stage process
in which carbon dioxide produced by power generation or industrial activity is captured, compressed, and transported to locations where it can be stored by injecting it deep underground. Supporters suggest that with the application of carbon capture, hydrogen produced from natural gas could be the key to decarbonization, or reducing the levels of carbon in the atmosphere. But this is not a viable climate solution because its production still results in an outsize greenhouse gas footprint.
Implementing hydrogen and carbon capture would entail more drilling, more fracking, more pipelines, and more pollution — but little in the way of job creation for Pennsylvanians. Smart economic development can both fight climate change and promote job growth and prosperity. Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, fossil fuel companies would rather invest in hydrogen and carbon capture and storage than address the problem of climate change directly. These technologies are unproven, expensive, and benefit their bottom line.
