Mahle CEO Arnd Franz says hydrogen will fail without fossil fuels (electrek.co)

I'm not convinced that hydrogen (green or otherwise) makes sense for powering transportation. I think it's best use case is in replacing fossil fuels in high-temperature industrial processes.

Industrial processes use A LOT of hydrogen, and most of it is derived from hydrocarbons. The best use for “green hydrogen”, by far, is replacing grey industrial hydrogen.

Only then you can start replacing non-hydrogen use cases, like industrial heat and power generation and (eventually) transportation.

The fact that this is up for debate is a testament to the success of the misinformation we’ve been exposed to for thirty years or more.
