Paul Martin
Chemical process development expert. Antidote to marketing #hopium . Tireless advocate for a fossil fuel-free future.
Looking for links to my articles? Here they are- I try to keep this list up to date as I write them.
All my podcasts and YouTube appearances:
What is #hopium? (aside from a now bankrupt French fuelcell car company?)
Hydrogen
Grand summary article, with a paragraph or two on each topic and a link to each relevant article- basically Paul Martin's Encyclopedia Hydrogen#hopiumacopia
Where Does Green Hydrogen Fit?
Is renewable (green) hydrogen the "fuel of the future"?
Why hydrogen sucks as a replacement for fossil gas in the fossil gas network:
What's really behind the whole hydrogen #hopium epidemic?
Blue (Blackish-blue, bruise coloured) Hydrogen
Methane Pyrolysis to make hydrogen- is this the solution?
"Natural" or Geologic Hydrogen
Electrolysis
Why it's not getting as cheap as some might hope:
...and why you can't fix what's wrong with hydrogen as a fuel by making electrolyzers more efficient:
Why hydrogen vehicles suck:
E-Fuels and Hydrogen for Export
How to waste even more energy trying to make hydrogen more effective as a fuel:

2 个月Paul Martin, thank you very much for this list. I shared/saved the page in my favorites and get back every time I'm in need of clarifications. So, thank you. Then, a question. Did you manage to write about SAF and biomass? I remember that you mentioned the intention some time ago, I tried to dig but I can't find the nugget. Many thanks again!
Thanks Paul for this quick sheet! Do you have Hydrogen for aviation fuel in somewhere? I remember a post on SAF vs Hydrogen for aviation, following Airbus release of their hydrogen prototypes and their 2035 goals...
Extraordinarily generous of you to make this treasure trove so accessible! Thanks Paul Martin All the best for Christmas and the New Year!
