China's largest offshore solar-hydrogen farm starts operation

1. The picture is rather disgusting; given the industrialization of an ecosystem for a nefarious purpose, to promote...

...the hydrogen scam, the sole purpose of which is to greenwash fossil fuels.

The picture should disgust anyone who is an environmentalist.

The facts about hydrogen in China, not from a fossil fuel greenwashing scammer, but from people called "scientists," Chinese scientists:

Currently, nearly all hydrogen in China is either produced directly from fossil fuels (55% from coal gasification and 14% from steam methane reforming (SMR)) or as a byproduct of petroleum refining (28%), with only 1% coming from water electrolysis. (2) Producing 1 kg of coal- or SMR-based hydrogen emits roughly 19 and 10 kg of CO₂, respectively. (3) In 2020, hydrogen production from fossil fuels in China emitted approximately 322Tg of CO₂, equivalent to 25% of total CO₂ emissions from industrial processes, a number expected to rise with increasing hydrogen demand. (4) Industrial processes include production of nonmetallic mineral products, chemical, and metal products, as well as production and consumption of halocarbons and sulfur hexafluoride. (4)
