As green hydrogen gains momentum as a potential climate solution, pressure will grow on climate activists who have traditionally opposed the building of new pipelines.
Once completed, the company says the project will “allow four natural gas plants and 20 percent of big diesel container trucks to convert to zero-emission hydrogen fuel – with the potential to reduce diesel fuel use by as much as 3 million gallons per day in California.” SoCalGas also estimates that its new green hydrogen pipeline system will deliver the clean energy equivalent of almost 25 percent of the natural gas delivered by SoCalGas today.
As I’ve discussed in previous pieces here, the green activist groups that support this energy transition are by and large the same groups thatthe construction and installation of new infrastructure needed to move energy to market. Among their most visible activities in recent years has been a concerted effort to oppose new pipelines to move oil and natural gas to market to meet the world’s energy demands.
The question for these green activist groups will become whether they would be willing to support the inconvenient realities needed to arrive at the end-result, which would become a very significant reduction in the production of greenhouse gases.
In the end, the proponents of this energy transition will not be able to have their cake and eat it, too. Green hydrogen is not something that will just materialize out of thin air: It is by necessity the end-product of an energy- and emissions-intensive infrastructure project. Climate activists can either support the means for getting to the end or not achieve the end at all.
