Reply to comment by ComputersWantMeDead in I come bringing good news about hydrogen by bearjew64

I read something recently about some startups that were taking CO2 and hydrogen and processing them into liquid fuels. Obviously that adds cost but would be much easier to handle. Even just going to methane would make it a lot easier to use with existing infrastructure.

Yeah I can't see how, with current technology, hydrogen will ever be something we would seek to expand current usage.

But who knows. Maybe some metamaterials will make production, storage and transport easier.

I'm always interested in the technology that replicates photosynthesis - basically using quantum mechanics principles to split water. That could potentially change the equation on production if that process continues to improve.
