So how many KWh did it supply, and how much methane was used to make the H?

[@ObiePaddles]

At least they’ve done something with zero emissions

[@EVsBeyond]

Well that and BZ4X.

Except 95 plus percent of Hydrogen is creating using processes like steam reforming of methane, net result is more emissions than just burning the methane. Only upside is you are moving the health impacts of burning fossil fuel somewhere else. If you are interested the hydrogenscience coalition provide a great breakdown of where hydrogen does and doesn't make sense according to physics and economics, spoiler -power generation and transport don't.
