The Rising Influence of Rising Affluence

[OakesCS]

my comment was strictly aimed at power generation. I don’t know much about steel refining so I have no idea if there are non-energetic advantages to using H2 vs CH4 or if CLF is taking advantage of H2 produced for other nearby industrial applications. I do know that at low temperatures, & in the absence of catalysts, H2 is a piss-poor reductant because of kinetics. Probably not a problem for steel refining.

The problem w ignoring thermo when evaluating ’greenness’ is that it’s like socialism - you eventually run out of other people’s money in cleaning up the mess.
