I'm a little confused because, based on your answer, my understanding is that you have no indication that grey hydrogen is a transitional form of energy and you have no indication to that effect from scientists.
I am not a scientist. When I wanted to learn about this, the first thing I did was to ask people who know about it. I was told that a number of people did not consider grey hydrogen to be a transitional form of energy.
First, has the department ever conducted or commissioned this type of study to find out whether grey hydrogen could be considered a transitional form of energy?
Second, if I understand your reasoning correctly, you are saying that we will go through grey hydrogen because it is easy to market and it may make green hydrogen competitive. This is what I understood earlier. The process gets to a level of abstraction, to use a ten-dollar word, which I think is quite high.
To be clear, I would like to know whether you have had any studies clearly demonstrating that grey hydrogen is a transitional form of energy. Does the department have that sort of study, and is that part of your reflection on your wonderful hydrogen strategy?
