Peter, it depends on the source of the electricity. If it was from coal-fired plants then yes. If it was from renewable sources such as hydro-electric or geothermal then no. It may also be possible to harness electricity in the off-peak hours to produce the hydrogen and store it such that you could use electricity that might otherwise be wasted. The neat thing is that this could be a breakthrough on the economical production of hydrogen at the retail location instead of dealing with the issues of transportation of hydrogen to many locations by truck or pipeline. This would also make the reformer unnecessary which would bring costs and complexity in the FC engine down. I think this is major news if true. Regards
