ScienceAdviser: Can green hydrogen replace fossil fuels?

Jan 24, 2025 | science.org | Christie Wilcox |Sarah Crespi |Meagan Cantwell

Today’s Deep Dive examines how we might create green fertilizers underground. But first, catch up on the latest science news, including how microplastics can gum up blood vessels and the history of our blood types. Energy | News from Science Can green hydrogen replace fossil fuels? Hydrogen is often touted as the future of green energy, and the allure is clear: When burned or run through a fuel cell, it produces water as exhaust instead of climate change-exacerbating carbon dioxide.
