Hydrogen facility will definitely open in Bradford
November 6, 2024
 
By Paul Homewood
 

Funding to build the UK’s largest hydrogen production facility in Bradford has been confirmed by Chancellor Rachel Reeves.

Bradford Low Carbon Hydrogen, a redevelopment of a former gas storage site, is the largest of 11 green hydrogen projects set to receive a share of £2bn from the government.

The Bradford project, which already has planning permission, is expected to create up to 125 new jobs for the city.

It will have the capacity to produce 12.5 tonnes of hydrogen each day, removing around 800 diesel buses from West Yorkshire’s roads on a daily basis.

The project is being delivered by joint venture partners N-Gen and Hygen, with support from Bradford Council.

Hydrogen production will secure the future of Bradford’s Birkshall site which has a rich heritage stretching back almost 100 years, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

That's gonna take one helluva lot of electricity to produce that much hydrogen through electrolysis.  And then they're gonna burn it in ICEs instead of using it in fuel cells?  What a colossal waste of taxpayer money.

Is it possible for the project to be Net-Zero?

It takes much energy to produce hydrogen.  They'll need a ton of electricity.  Does the local grid have the transmission and generation capacity to handle the demand?

What a waste of resources.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Hydrogen as a fuel, is a loser.
Money loser.
Net energy loser.

Someday, there may be real potential in "H".
Someday.

But that's a long time off yet.
