    That seems to be a good idea. There are more efficient hydrogen production methods in the works as far as I know so it would help to have more innovation in that field, specially with the production and the storage. If we could find a lightweight solution to store hydrogen safely we could probably replace fossil fuels in planes.

      My personal dream scenario is one, where renewables and nuclear become such cheap production methods, that electricity is cheap and abundant.

      At that point one could just use that energy to synthesize fuel to avoid the hassle that is hydrogen storage.

        We need to go carbon negative, not neutral. So, everywhere we can avoid dump CO2 into the atmosphere is good.

        This being said, if we could do it from carbon captured CO2…
