Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% : Saul Griffith, a prominent inventor in renewable energy who started his career at an Australian steel mill, doesn't see a big role for green hydrogen.
60% : Blast furnaces, freight trains, cargo ships and the gargantuan trucks used in mining require heavy fuels like coal and oil.
57% : Green hydrogen is made by using renewable electricity to split water's molecules.
57% : Last year, government subsidies sped up action in the European Union, India, Australia, the United States and elsewhere.
56% : In the Pilbara region of Western Australia, and in dozens of spots around the globe endowed with abundant wind and sun, investors see an opportunity to generate renewable electricity so cheaply that using it to make green hydrogen becomes economical.
51% : One issue is that China, which produces most of the world's solar panels, wind turbines and renewable energy tech, hasn't embraced electrolyzer production.
49% : Nevertheless BP, too, sees an inevitable shift toward green hydrogen driven by increasingly stringent regulations in the United States, European Union, Japan and South Korea.
48% : Analysts said there was a shrewd calculus to that: China is heavily invested in coal, and much of that is tied to steel and cement production.
