Elon Musk has made comments on hydrogen fuel cells technology on twitter since 2014 on various occasions as “Staggering dumb”, “mind-bogglingly stupid” and “fool sells”.

“If CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage) is used to reduce the CO2 intensity of fossil fuel hydrogen production, that would enable some fossil fuel resources to continue to be used,” written in a 2019 IEA (The International Energy Agency) report.

According to BNEF (Bloomberg New Energy Finance), its price by 2050 will be “competitive with current natural gas prices… on an energy-equivalent basis.”

Incorporating in Hydrogen in its future renewable energy spectrum will make UK’s goal of net zero carbon emission by 2050 achievable, according to David Joffe, a member of the Committee on Climate Change, as cited in The Economist.
