Maybe not but the hydrogen process is probably a game changer regardless, because there is less research and productisation needed. It is similar to existing processes.

It’s also perfectly positioned to take advantage of wind power. The gas storage tanks can make up for variations in electricity production. It’s all set to be deployed at a large scale already.

Watt for watt it might not (I have no idea) be as efficient as electrolysis, but as a total solution I see how it could be deployed at scale. Combined with the advances in electric mining equipment like what Volvo is offering, the industry is all set to go fully carbon neutral and electric. (No tech hurdles left.)
