Brrr! It's Cold ... Everywhere --- February, 2021, Will Go Down As Warmest February In History -- February 11, 2021

Brrrr! It's cold ... everywhere ... and in March we will be told February, 2021, was the hottest February month on record. 

UK, northern Europe freezing; travel comes to a halt. 

Peak oil: It's here. And it's .... Shell. The WSJ. This is not going to end well. 

Shipped! Shipping companies looking for alternates to Los Angeles ports. The WSJ.

RBN Energy: making sense of the hydrogen buzz, production economics edition, part 3. Archived.

When it comes to hydrogen, it’s fair to say that hard data on what it costs to produce the fuel is difficult to come by, particularly for “green” hydrogen. If you’ve followed our current work on the fuel, we hope you know at least a few more facts than the average person on the street, though we must admit we’ve really just been scratching the surface so far. Diving deeper into the nitty gritty of hydrogen production costs and economics is not for the faint of heart, but it’s necessary, unless you are of the mind to dismiss the fuel altogether. (We are not.) While it’s very early days for many production pathways to hydrogen, especially green hydrogen, time will tell if the costs to produce it follow a downward trend similar to those for producing hydrocarbons from shale or remain at levels so high the current hydrogen bubble bursts like others before it. We’re optimistic the former may pan out, and in today’s blog we continue our series on hydrogen with a look at the factors impacting production costs.
