China to spend billions on hydrogen vehicles despite a minimal supply of clean H2 | Recharge

China to spend billions on hydrogen vehicles despite a minimal supply of clean H2 | Recharge: 

The country has an ample supply of grey hydrogen, but without carbon capture this remains a source of significant CO2 emissions. For every tonne of grey hydrogen produced from unabated fossil fuels, nine to 12 tonnes of carbon dioxide are emitted. China’s total hydrogen production is about 25 million tonnes per annum — 62% of which is from coal, 19% from natural gas and 18% a by-product of refinery operations.
