Thanks for another interesting episode. Unless I missed it I don’t think methane (CH4) was covered by Professor Miller and I would be grateful if the next time you interviewed the Professor you asked him for his analysis on the practicalities and expense of using methane. Green methane can be made either from anaerobic digesters (a simple technology and hence easily available in underdeveloped countries) or from hydrogen using the Sabatier process. Both take CO2 from the atmosphere which is returned when the green methane is burnt so making the round trip CO2 neutral. The advantages of using methane are that it has 3 times the volumetric energy density of hydrogen, is not such a small molecule that it leaks like crazy, can have an odorant for safety and is far more easily stored and transported than hydrogen. Methane is already used for surface transport all over the world and existing ices can be relatively easily converted to methane (LNG). Another advantage of using green methane would be that there would not need to be any changes made to either the existing gas (methane) distribution system or the existing gas appliances (boilers) which would be an enormous saving in money, materials and disruption.
Great Talk - Renewable energy harvesting at large scale is critically important for decarbonisation any sectors - It’s quite obvious the living in the future would be extremely expensive regardless of any solutions. I am concerned nobody talks about cost cutting to make living affordable for our future generations while considering sustainability solutions.
Michael, it's tempting to start arguing every point this gentleman makes. Most of which is horse shit. But the only question I have really is why were you not more critical? You know so much better.
What a bunch of fools. There is one single ship able to transport 85 tons of LH2. from Australia to Japan. One trip is 22 days. No real "tanker " in sight so far for 10 years to come. How to guess transport cost for 2028 or 2032? How much glue most one sniff to create all this?

Brilliant. I learned a lot.
Great to learn about you from SFA-Oxford!

Actually we do.
@@MLiebreich That’s great news! Sustainable solution also needs to address high living cost.
Have you modelled long haul via space versus through our atmosphere for this concept?
Rockets are not known for their energy efficiency, I doubt this would come out better.

I am interested to understand what specific examples of his many points that you believe are the 'waste product of digestion of a horse' ?
