In Reply to: yup - it produces CO2, so not exactly a panacea posted by mhardy6647 on November 22, 2014 at 18:27:35:
the difference to fossil fuels is that those release CO2 which has been stored and taken out of circulation for millions of years while this process cannot release more CO2 than has been fixed in the plant material over the last year or so depending on the crop used.
And the amount released will be fixed again when growing crops to replace the Hydrogen fuel used.
So logically over time the net CO2 released must be close to zero unless you chop down forests and replace them with deserts which would clearly be insane.
