CRT is inevitable to achieve Net Zero, baseload power with zero fossil fuel,except for the start-up.

The CRT Master Narrative: Why Deep Decarbonisation Needs Hydrogen and Carbon** The global energy debate is often framed as a choice: electrons or molecules, batteries or hydrogen. This framing is incomplete — and it is the root of much confusion. Deep decarbonisation is not about choosing a favourite technology. It is about designing an energy system that adheres to physical laws. The hydrogen misunderstanding Critiques of hydrogen — including those famously voiced by Elon Musk — are not entirely wrong. They are simply conditional. Hydrogen looks inefficient only if carbon-free, dispatchable baseload electricity already exists. That system does not exist today. As long as the electricity supply remains intermittent, seasonal, and grid-constrained, hydrogen cannot be evaluated merely as a round-trip storage medium. That framing ignores the real challenge. The real challenge: energy continuity Deep decarbonisation is not an energy efficiency problem. It is an energy continuity problem. The question is not: How efficiently can we store electricity? The question is: How do we deliver zero-emission energy continuously, at scale, when nature is intermittent? Batteries solve short-duration balancing. They do not solve long-duration, industrial, or baseload energy needs. When continuity is required, chemical energy carriers become unavoidable. Why SpaceX quietly proves the point There is a powerful, rarely acknowledged truth embedded in modern aerospace engineering. When performance, density, reliability, and continuity are non-negotiable, even SpaceX does not use hydrogen as the primary fuel. They use methane. This is not ideology. It is physics. Hydrogen is an excellent energy source, but carbon-based molecules are superior energy carriers. The real problem is not carbon itself — it is fossil carbon that is not recycled. Carbon is not the enemy — fossil extraction is Carbon has always been nature’s preferred carrier of energy: • Dense • Stable • Transportable • Recyclable The climate crisis did not arise because carbon exists. It arose because humanity broke the carbon loop. What CRT changes Carbon Recycling Technology (CRT) restores that loop. CRT: • uses renewable hydrogen as the true energy input, • recycles captured CO₂ into renewable methane, • delivers high-density, dispatchable, baseload power, and • eliminates the need for new fossil extraction. In CRT, carbon is no longer an emission. It is a reusable carrier that cycles endlessly. Hydrogen supplies the energy. Carbon carries it. The corrected energy hierarchy When the system boundary is drawn correctly, the hierarchy becomes clear: • Electrons → best for short-range, instant use • Batteries → best for short-duration storage • Hydrogen → best renewable energy source • Carbon molecules → best large-scale energy carriers CRT integrates all four — without contradiction. The inevitable conclusion Hydrogen is not a waste of time. Carbon is not the enemy. Batteries are not enough. Deep decarbonisation requires a closed carbon loop powered by renewable hydrogen. That is not a belief. It is a system solution dictated by thermodynamics. CRT is simply the architecture that makes it possible.
