Switching to hydrogen fuel could prolong the methane problem

A rise in hydrogen emissions means that more hydroxyl (OH) would be used to break down hydrogen, leaving less OH available to break down methane (CH4).

A leaky hydrogen economy could cause near-term environmental harm by increasing the amount of methane in the atmosphere.
