The Blue Hydrogen Imperative: Navigating Costs, Emissions, and Regulations
Hydrogen can be termed as blue hydrogen when produced from natural gas(or sometimes coal) through steam methane reforming (SMR) or auto-thermal reforming (ATR), and resulting CO₂ emissions are captured and stored rather than released into the atmosphere. The CO₂ is stored underground using carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. As a result, blue hydrogen is […]
Green Hydrogen: The Ambition Versus Implementation Conundrum
Green hydrogen investments are the major highlight of the growing momentum in the energy industry. The promise of long-term renewable energy storage and electrofuels has made it a cornerstone in this segment. In 2023 alone, approximately $2.8 billion was invested globally in building electrolyzer capabilities, while $700 million was invested in blue hydrogen projects. This […]
