#hydrogen

The common mini-Neptunes typically form with a #hydrogen #atmosphere, resulting in conditions where #hydrogen and the #planet’s molten interior interact for millions to billions of years.

But the temperatures and pressures involved are so extreme that laboratory experiments to study them are nearly impossible.

Water and hydrogen would begin to separate deep within the atmosphere leading to rainfall deep inside the planet’s atmosphere as heavier water sinks.

Interesting text: "Why Do Transit Agencies Keep Falling for the Hydrogen Bus Myth?" (cleantechnica.com/2025/03/13/w).

I don't know how reliable the source is; but the text _sounds_ like a mostly good summary of the problem (what I missed was a discussion of recharging times and the associated need to buy more BEV buses).

Also, I never knew there are buses that use heat pumps! No idea how efficient they are, but it sounds like an interesting idea.

CleanTechnica · Why Do Transit Agencies Keep Falling for the Hydrogen Bus Myth? - CleanTechnicaTransit agencies keep choosing hydrogen buses due to cognitive biases like anchoring, operational tunnel vision, and reliance on misleading narratives.

One of the unknown with hydrogen jet engines is how energy-efficient they could be, and also how far down NOx emissions can be mitigated. The ARPA-E funded HySIITE research project executed by P&W just got some answers to these questions. Study is exploring intercooled, steam-injected concepts. P&W revealed its first findings, and they are promising to say the least: buff.ly/42rGbZa. Beautiful engineering! ✈️ #aerospace #aviation #engineering #hydrogen #stem

11/ 💧 Green #hydrogen: The target is 10 GW of electrolysis capacity by 2030, only a good 1% of which has been achieved so far. However, there are enough projects in various planning phases to reach the target. And at least a "core grid" for H2 has been decided and its financing is in place.
