Mr Jim Harrison, Past President of Institute of Energy :

Mr Chacko had seven forms of energy. The seventh form was solar hydrogen. I am always confused about hydrogen. To my mind hydrogen is not a source of energy, it is no more a source of energy than is electricity. I just wonder what is this curious thing called solar hydrogen. Is it different from nuclear hydrogen or coal fired hydrogen or oiled fired hydrogen? I think there is an illusion that because hydrogen produces no carbon dioxide when it is burnt there is something wonderful about it, but it is no more wonderful really than electricity.
