Michael Detrick here, Tim. Great topics here! I have read a couple of articles about Toyota's hydrogen internal combustion engine recently, and now here I am watching this video from an old buddy from 7th grade at Kubasaki Jr. High! Good to see you are involved in such deep and important issues!
I think you'd find it interesting to look into commentary on hydrogen from environmental groups like Kiko Network as well as analyses from outside Japan. While it's true that hydrogen has some important uses, they're often exaggerated by Japanese industry and government sources. Hydrogen is mainly useful for: 1. Smoothing out spikes in renewable energy production (you can electrolyze H2 when energy is cheap and generate electricity with it when it's expensive) 2. Burning to get things really hot, like for steel production (for things that need to be slightly hot, like home heating and cooking, purely electric methods are more efficient) These are important, but will occur behind the scenes for most people. Most proposed direct-to-consumer hydrogen applications, like cars, seem to be dead ends (Toyota only produces a small number of Mirais per year and even then loses money on them). The supply problems are also serious; many of the current proposals to produce and ship hydrogen to Japan are actually worse for CO2 production than just burning coal. That ammonia synthesis and shipping process you show contains a lot of steps, each one of which loses 10s of percentage points of energy. It's far from clear that it will ever be efficient to do this without relying on largely fake technologies like CCS (carbon permanently captured underground is more commonly known as coal; you'll never be able to capture it more efficiently than that).
He's clearly just reading some Japanese hydrogen propagandist's garbage presentation. Hence all the jump cuts, mispronunciations and stammering. He's pumping his bags. He doesn't care if any of this makes sense. He knows the Japanese government is going to waste an absurd amount of money on this and he's looking to get in on it. Even a number of the slides have typos in them, for example "Elecriity" at 11:07. Most of the use cases in this presentation are nonsense buzz word salad to convince morons to buy into the scam. Japan should convert its already electric trains to run on hydrogen fuel cells instead. Great idea. Japanese houses should have hydrogen fuel cells to produce electricity for home use instead of using the already existing electrical infrastructure. Great idea. 12:04 Restaurants don't use coal to grill meat. They use charcoal. It's completely different and not the same at all. You know this, and I know you know this. You're just reading a shitty translation of whatever garbage Japanese hype propaganda you were paid to read off. That's why you can't read it fluently at all and you keep stumbling over every sentence. "By switching the flame to hydrogen, the CO2 free restaurant can be achieved!" - Timothy Langley Have you ever had a hydrogen grilled steak? You should make your next video about that. Show us how hydrogen makes a better grilling fuel. Show us how it improves the flavour of the steak by infusing it with the taste of... water. Congrats on your new grift, Tim.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. The Japanese government is developing energy policies and nothing is set in stone. This briefing is not to analyze the policies and look for faults but to present what the policies are at present and how they might evolve. We appreciate your understanding.
Mike Detrick here again, Tim. Emily is my wife, hence the insignia at the beginning. You did an excellent job here delineating the projects of the Japanese government and energy industry as they search for achieving a balance between the security that comes from being liberated from dependence on carbon based energy sources which are simply not available in Japan itself, and the bottom-line costs of these alternate energy sources. It is good to see that they have other motivations for achieving freedom from carbon sources other than the desire to reduce carbon emissions into the atmosphere, because as individual governments and global organizations lose the firm grip that they currently have over "science", the populations of the world will realize the overall benign influence that human CO2 emissions have on earth's climate, and they will refuse to allow their governments to spend trillions of dollars on this issue when it is not nearly as urgent as the sensationalists speculate that it is. The concept of energy independence is a very legitimate issue for a government to base their decisions to use tax money to fund projects which lead to this worthy goal. Environmental pollution is also a legitimate issue as it often directly impacts the health of populations which are exposed to it. Big cities like Tokyo would greatly benefit from truly clean sources of energy being used for local transportation, heating, and cooking needs. Hopefully, the Japanese government will continue to thoroughly investigate the costs, dangers, and toxicities of producing alternate energy sources, including the potential environmental damage from the mining of raw materials, transportation of all products involved from start to finish, and the environmental costs of manufacturing all equipment involved as well as the cost of the disposal of said items.
Green Bonds in Japan can take advantage of this cost of capital prospectus proposal with government sponsored debt. Historically, the projects of hydroelectric, solar, and wind can be involved with portfolios can offer consumer choice verse hydrocarbons. This is common within the energy market of the United States and approved by the Department of Interior Office of Renewable Energy. In summary, the summary of Langley Esquire has a good overview of the hydrogen market as a project for the marketing mix within future portfolios. Sincerely, Andrew Stephen Drazdik Jr 7th June 2024

8:02 - That is not CO2-free ammonia. The process involves using nitrogen and hydrogen which produces huge CO2 emissions.
