Teaching tips
Prerequisites:
Ensure students are familiar with terms related to energy density and other chemical properties.
Consider providing background information on the Paris Agreement.
Classroom Implementation:
Consider having students turn in their answers to the italicized questions throughout the tool, citing information presented in the tool.
Consider having students explore this resource in a jigsaw format.
Use this resource in chemistry classes or when talking about clean energy in earth science or engineering classes.
Misconceptions:
When reading the "Environment" section about white hydrogen, students may be confused about the wording, and those skimming may wrongfully assume that white hydrogen has no environmental implications.
Scientist's Note:
This resource thoroughly corrects any misconceptions about hydrogen production, with a constant focus on greenhouse gas emissions and the goal of Net Zero by 2050.
