While there are several examples of making hydrogen with water instead of fossil fuels, there is no example of making batteries without coal. Coal is a critical part of the battery supply chain.
Hydrogen is likely an important part of our future energy mix.
Making it needs massive investment in new plants.
But it's possibly to make it from water. Why would we make it from natural gas? As an island nation?
So I don't see this announcement causes us any issues.

This is good news. Blue Hydrogen only makes sense if you’re an oil company looking for life after fossil fuels - we don’t need to make Hydrogen from fossil gas, we can make it from water.

You can tell a group is not worth listening to when they cite Michael Barnard articles at Cleantechnica as their support for their viewpoints on hydrogen.
Heads up #EETFuels. Hydrogen makes sense in a few industrial applications and very little else. Refining crude isn't one of them. #HyNet is critically flawed because its key application is refining climate wrecking fossil fuels and prolonging their use.

Support batteries if you like, no problem. But you don't get to say they don't require "burning" anything. The battery supply chain has a critical dependency on burning coal. So, no burning coal, no batteries. It's that simple.
"What we don't have to do is find the next thing to burn" @mliebreich.bsky.social welcomes Erik Rakhou this week for an in-depth discussion on hydrogen, debating its potential necessity, appropriate uses, and economic justification. Watch now - www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSWD... #cleaninguppod

Several years ago, there was still doubt as to whether batteries or hydrogen would dominate in the truck market. The answer seems to be emerging. It's batteries. We've seen increased interest in DockChain in the trucking industry too.

More and more people are wising up to the fact that batteries alone come up short in replacing fossil fuels. They’re further realizing that the one country dominating the battery, solar, & rare earth supply chains is burning 85PJ of coal per yr & experiencing mining impacts on their drinking water.
More and more companies are wising up to the fact that using green hydrogen as a fuel source does not - and never will - make economic sense.
Its only viable use case is in replacing black/grey H2 as a chemical feedstock.
Anything else just delays the energy transition.
