Yeah I just read a couple other articles and you're right. I was about to delete my post actually, when I saw you responded to it.
It does seem like most places don't currently have the infrastructure in place to do proper green hydrogen though, since only 0.1 percent of hydrogen produced as of Jan 2021 could be considered green hydrogen.[1]
So I don't think it's quite as 'easy peasy' as you're suggesting, probably a lot of money has to be invested and infrastructure has to be built to support it, but sure, I'm all for doing that.
Like most climate change things, it is relatively easy-peasy from a technical standpoint (as the other commenter noted, this is how we used to do it in the olden days).
It's just hard to build a thriving business around that when your competitor can dump CO2 into the atmosphere for free and leave someone else to pick up the tab.
Once the competitor starts using his profits to buy politicians and fake scientists it gets really complicated, but making lots of fertilizer with renewable energy is not only technically easy, it's actually one of the things that will help the uptake of renewable energy globally.
