Hydrogen in oil refining
Steam reforming
Hydrogen Energy Density
The different colours of hydrogen
Correction for 6:05 - we didn't end up discussing this, so here's the idea: use current oil/LNG infrastructure to transport hydrogen.
Law of Conservation of Energy
Correction for 7:20 - this is not technically true. We are not creating the hydrogen, but breaking it apart from water/methane/insert. The bonds between hydrogen and the other elements in these substances are usually covalent, and thus difficult to break, which is why it requires a large amount of energy.
Correction for 9:55 - rain doesn't immediately translate to increased output from hydro. However, hydro can still vary based on weather.
