This global push for net zero carbon emissions is one of humanity’s greatest challenges. In this film, the FT’s Simon Mundy explores how hydrogen – the lightest, most abundant element in the universe – could play a crucial role. From southern Spain to Swedish Lapland, we meet those at the forefront of this fast-growing space – all seeking a slice of the billions to be made in the emerging hydrogen economy.

The most common element in the universe.
Hydrogen has completely failed in the EV market due to the cost of production, storage and transport.
It needs to be stored under pressure and because of the molecule size is prone to leaking from any vessel with less than perfect seals.
Hydrogen is extremely volatile in the presence of any spark.
That said it represents an opportunity to produce carbon free energy and that is a good thing.
Not sure about hydrogen fueled aircraft though 💥
….and how do you plan to produce all this hydrogen? Oh yeah, with fossil fuels. It's costs more energy to produce it, store it and ship it than you get out the other end, its a dead proposition. Move on.
If you claim to be the “good guys”, maybe don’t make an evil octopus your logo? 🙄
