Is hydrogen a key part of the world’s energy future—or a mirage of the energy transition? It is a question on which tens of trillions of dollars in investment may end up hinging. Which makes it all the more important, Adam Tooze writes, to “beware the efforts of powerful vested interests to use radical technological visions to channel us toward what are in fact conservative and ruinously expensive options.” Is that the case for so-called “green hydrogen”? Read on to discover Tooze’s take on the most hyped industry of the moment.—The Editors

Russia Pauses Ukraine Black Sea Grain Deal: Russia announced Monday that it is pulling out of a year-old deal allowing Ukraine to ship grain after negotiations to secure its extension failed. “Moscow has repeatedly attempted to upend the agreement to extract key concessions, intensifying concerns about the future of Ukraine’s hard-hit agricultural industry and the global food insecurity,” FP’s Christina Lu reports.

¿Es el hidrógeno una parte clave del futuro energético del mundo o un espejismo de la transición energética? Es una cuestión de la que pueden depender decenas de billones de dólares en inversión. Lo que hace que sea aún más importante, escribe Adam Tooze, "tener cuidado con los esfuerzos de poderosos intereses creados para utilizar visiones tecnológicas radicales para canalizarnos hacia lo que de hecho son opciones conservadoras y ruinosamente caras". ¿Es ese el caso del llamado “hidrógeno verde”?

Kendall-Taylor and FP’s Ravi Agrawal also discussed the significance of the latest attack on the Kerch Strait Bridge and Ukraine’s progress in the ongoing counteroffensive.

It’s Debatable: Would the Israel Model Work for Ukraine?
The NATO summit offered Kyiv mostly vague pledges and empty rhetoric—but there could be other ways to defend the country short of alliance membership. FP columnists Emma Ashford and Matthew Kroenig weigh Ukraine’s path forward.
MK: The White House was understandably worried that, given NATO’s Article 5 commitment, near-term membership would mean a NATO-Russia war, but there are ways around that problem. West Germany was brought into NATO as a divided country, for example, and the alliance could have similarly granted Article 5 protections only to the territory already under Ukrainian control.
The Israel model does not make sense for Ukraine. Israel has nuclear weapons. Ukraine does not—anymore. (Thankfully, Washington talked Kyiv into giving up the nuclear weapons left on its territory when the Soviet Union collapsed in the early 1990s.) Israel’s enemies do not have nuclear weapons. Ukraine’s enemy does. Washington guarantees Israel a “qualitative military edge” through its dominance of the conventional arms market in the Middle East. It cannot guarantee Ukraine such an edge over Russia.
Plus, the Israel model basically only formalizes what the free world has already been doing for the past year and a half. It has already been providing Ukraine with high levels of military and economic support, and that has not led to peace.
People ask, how will this war end? The answer is by bringing Ukraine into NATO. Putin has used military force on the territory of almost all of Russia’s neighbors that are not NATO members (Georgia, Ukraine, Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Moldova, etc.). He has used force zero times against NATO members.
Leaving Ukraine in a gray zone means giving Putin a green light.
EA: Yes, Israel has nuclear weapons, but it has always relied first and foremost on conventional deterrence. Indeed, if Israel really relied on its nuclear weapons for deterrence, then Washington wouldn’t even need to help it maintain an edge! And Israel’s neighbors have started wars despite that nuclear deterrent. There’s no reason it couldn’t work in Ukraine.
You’re right that the Israel model for Ukraine would effectively be a formalization of what’s happening now, but I would argue that it’s actually more credible as a promise because of that. Biden would commit to maintain a suitable level of support to Ukraine, rather than making a potential future promise to include it in an alliance. It’s a bird in the hand, rather than two in the bush. I think Ukraine would be wise to focus its efforts there, not on NATO membership. After all, this summit shows that membership for Ukraine is simply not on the agenda in the near term.
Continue reading this conversation on ForeignPolicy.com. Follow up on last week’s developments: FP’s Robbie Gramer and Jack Detsch report on NATO’s significant new defense plans, and Ilke Toygür and Max Bergmann write that Ukraine’s efforts to enter the EU will be harder than any NATO accession.

How can hydrogen help a climate-neutral economy?
Clean or low-carbon hydrogen can help to cut GHG emissions by substituting fossil fuels as energy carriers or chemical feedstock, and thereby contribute to achieving a climate-neutral economy. The future climate-neutral energy system is expected to rely largely on renewable electricity, where biomass and nuclear energy play a more limited role.
