While hydrogen is currently extracted from natural gas and is already a multi-billion dollar global industry<br \/>\nused in a wide range of industrial applications, it is also produced via renewable sources such as solar, wind or biogas without the need to use fossil fuels.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"nav fusion-mobile-tab-nav\"><ul class=\"nav-tabs nav-justified\" role=\"tablist\"><li role=\"presentation\"><a class=\"tab-link\" data-toggle=\"tab\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"tab-e4f9285d95b32c28522\" aria-selected=\"false\" tabindex=\"-1\" id=\"mobile-fusion-tab-myth2\" href=\"#tab-e4f9285d95b32c28522\"><h4 class=\"fusion-tab-heading\">MYTH 2<\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"tab-pane fade fusion-clearfix\" role=\"tabpanel\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-labelledby=\"fusion-tab-myth2\" id=\"tab-e4f9285d95b32c28522\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1280 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Myth2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"178\" height=\"259\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\">Hydrogen gas is dangerous to store and use<\/h4>\n<p>Arguably one of the most common concerns raised when discussing the use of hydrogen is that, as a flammable gas, it can be easily ignited and as such far too hazardous to be stored either in refuelling stations or within a pressure tank. Yet, hydrogen is no more dangerous than other flammable fuels or the batteries used in electric cars. In fact, vehicles with pressure gas storage tanks are nothing new. With millions of on-the-road miles driven over the last few years, an existing global multi-billion industry transporting and making hydrogen for many decades, the automotive industry seems to be more than sufficiently convinced that hydrogen can be stored safely, with Toyota for example having received approval from Japan\u2019s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) to self-inspect and<br \/>\nmanufacture hydrogen tanks for FCEVs.<\/div><div class=\"nav fusion-mobile-tab-nav\"><ul class=\"nav-tabs nav-justified\" role=\"tablist\"><li role=\"presentation\"><a class=\"tab-link\" data-toggle=\"tab\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"tab-e1c162189e31be22835\" aria-selected=\"false\" tabindex=\"-1\" id=\"mobile-fusion-tab-myth3\" href=\"#tab-e1c162189e31be22835\"><h4 class=\"fusion-tab-heading\">MYTH 3<\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"tab-pane fade fusion-clearfix\" role=\"tabpanel\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-labelledby=\"fusion-tab-myth3\" id=\"tab-e1c162189e31be22835\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1281 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Myth3-300x205.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Myth3-200x137.png 200w, https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Myth3-300x205.png 300w, https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Myth3.png 310w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\">Hydrogen is really too expensive<\/h4>\n<p>The price of green hydrogen has fallen in recent years and it is expected that the reduction will be even higher over the next decade, making it truly competitive against other energy solutions.
