Issues Pertaining the Hydrogen Ready Power Station and Grey Hydrogen in general

Upon further investigation it appears that this new gas plant which though will produce hydrogen energy it will be doing so through the use of natural gas. This process however generates 9-12 kg of CO2 for each kilogram of Hydrogen and considering this is meant provide 600 megawatts of power this plant will produce vast amount of CO2. I strongly urge the Government to deny the construction of this plant or ensure that the plant is converted into a Green hydrogen power plant. Meaning that the plant will produce hydrogen through use of renewables via a process of electrolysis, which separates the hydrogen from the oxygen in H20. For more information please refer to this article by Walter Merida from the University of British Columbia.  https://theconversation.com/why-green-hydrogen-but-not-grey-could-help-solve-climate-change-162987?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Latest%20from%20The%20Conversation%20for%20July%2016%202021&utm_content=Latest%20from%20The%20Conversation%20for%20July%2016%20202
