Funny how the subject of hydrogen keeps on popping up all of sudden.
This article tells how Finland is getting a lot of interest from hydrogen investors and is planning on mass producing hydrogen to export it.
Main reason being the ease of clean energy production, which in this case means wind. Not like we have new nuke plants planned after the newest one comes online.
Pic related is hydrogen pipes that are being planned.
Apparently whole thing is still very much in the planning process and nothing real has been decided, but it shows that this industry is starting to make waves and has the potential to catch a lot of people by surprise and get really damn big.

Also Norwegian company is planning to build a green steel factory in Finland that would use hydrogen in it's manufacturing process.
>Blastr will replace coke and coal with hydrogen in the chemical reduction phase,

Remains to be seen if anything comes from this, but it's interesting to see how this field is suddenly popping up so much.
I bet it's because people quickly came to the realization that battery tech is utter shit in it's current form to store energy on large scale and the only real available way to store this massive amounts of energy from wind to make it viable is hydrogen.
If the powers that be want to push their climate bullshit then this industry is going to get the money.
So basically we should be looking to jam our commodity bux into wind, solar and hydrogen markets after the supercycle has peaked.
And considering how the green agenda is globally government supported, the markets related to it are only going to go up.
