We Finally Found a Green Use for Coal

The video explores hydrogen as a potential solution to the climate crisis, focusing on its use in transportation, manufacturing, and electricity generation. It highlights the challenges of hydrogen storage due to its low boiling point and high diffusion rate. A proposed solution involves using coal beds as hydrogen batteries, leveraging their ability to adsorb gases. The video discusses factors affecting storage efficiency, such as coal rank and carbon content. Recent research from Penn State shows promising results, but further work is needed to implement these solutions in real-world scenarios.
