  • The St Clair power plant will burn hydrogen made by Steam Methane Reforming using natural gas. This produces so-called 'blue hydrogen' and the process to make the hydrogen always produces greenhouse gases. Always. The carbon capture and storage process being developed has never fully eliminated these emissions and is not expected to do so despite the industry's fervent claims of success.  Please contact me for the links to the peer reviewed papers on this subject. So, the hydrogen substituting for natural gas at this power plant will NOT reduce emissions. Moreover, combusting hydrogen can produce emissions of N2O which is also a greenhouse gas even though it does not contain carbon. Only green electrolytic hydrogen will reduce emissions from a natural gas power plant and this is not the hydrogen being produced for this plant. Furthermore, there is no  justification for a new fossil fuel power plant in Ontario. The IESO should consider transmission links with ...

  • Blue hydrogen is far from clean 02/03/2022 Martin Bush 1 Comment Canada, Energy policy, hydrogenEdit Canada doesn’t need a hydrogen policy crafted by the oil and gas industry in Alberta. Eastern Canada has the potential to be a global player in the production of green hydrogen. In many respects, hydrogen is the perfect fuel: it burns with absolutely no emissions of carbon—producing only water. The gas has been used as a feedstock in the petrochemical industries for decades, but as energy-intensive industries move towards decarbonization, it is now being touted as the fuel of the future: an essential element of the roadmap that brings the world to net zero emissions by 2050. The International Energy Agency foresees the demand for hydrogen growing sixfold from today’s level of about 90 million tonnes (Mt) a year, rising to 10% of total final energy consumption by 2050. Bloomberg is even more enthusiastic: estimating that hydrogen could provide almost a ...

  • The proponent offers the use of hydrogen as a fuel as an expectation for the future.  If the project is moved ahead for further review, a schedule for the use of hydrogen should become a commitment and requirement for approval. If the project is moved froward for further review there must be consideration and analysis of the carbon intensity of the use of hydrogen as a fuel in a blend with natural gas.  This will determine the extent to which the project will impair the carbon-intensity of the Ontario electricity grid.  We recommend that the carbon intensity of the Ontario electricity grid not be impaired. If the project is moved forward, we recommend that further review must include an analysis of LCOE.  This will permit an objective comparison to other technologies for generating electricity.  It will also allow the final review to assess the economic impact on user ...
