That’s if we believe results from the climate models, anyway. Add this to the growing list of real and imagined hydrogen problems.

The global warming effect of leaked hydrogen is almost 12 times stronger than CO2, shows a new study by CICERO, a climate research center, published in Communications Earth & Environment.
The study fills a gap in our knowledge about the climate effects of hydrogen, a central technology in the energy transition, says Phys.org.
Unlike exhaust from burning coal and gas that contains CO2, burning hydrogen emits only water vapor and oxygen. Rather, it is the leaking of hydrogen from production, transportation and usage that adds to global warming. [Talkshop comment – so the theory goes].
