There are two approaches to producing hydrogen: blue hydrogen (made by splitting natural gas into hydrogen and carbon dioxide) and green hydrogen (produced by splitting water via electrolysis into hydrogen and oxygen).

Green hydrogen requires a large energy input from a renewable source to be considered carbon neutral, but blue hydrogen cannot be described as a zero-emission fuel source unless coupled with significant carbon-capture efforts. One study showed that hydrogen derived from fossil fuels can actually be more carbon intensive than using gas.

Some 95 per cent of today’s commercially produced product is blue hydrogen made by steam-methane reforming using natural gas feedstock.

The number of announced projects for low-emissions hydrogen continues to expand rapidly while more than 40 countries worldwide have set out national hydrogen strategies to date.

But installed capacity and volumes remain low as developers wait for government support before...

    Battery EV costing the earth -  an environmentally and socially unfriendly  approach using still mined finite material; all out of sight out of mind of the minority 'rich' sanctimonious of the West, so they can do their bit driving around in their [un]clean vehicles ....     all part of the climate economy (not a crisis)  .    'We' should make it socially unacceptable to make, buy and drive these things.

    Then there's solar and wind turbine ... laugh out loud.  

    Hydrogen fuel is the way to go (until better comes along) - it is not a new thing at all- and once there is no money reward in battery ev and/or folk catch on with the cash cow con-job,  it will be pushed like its the new thing and for profit.  If there really was a crisis, it would all be done non-profit for the good of humanity ... but you know, the human condition and all.

    By the way ... one could (should) use  small scale nuclear plant to provide energy for encouraging hydrogen from its bindings (and as back up); perhaps even harness the current Megawatts wasted in current energy systems.

    Meh... what a farce the world is at the moment.  I rest  (got down off my tiny soap box - not that Im anyone).   :-)
