Could blue hydrogen accelerate transition to green?

AskWaves explores whether hydrogen has to be green right away?

Every mode of transportation is considering hydrogen and hydrogen-based fuels such as e-methanol to decarbonize freight. But there is debate about whether hydrogen needs to be green right away or if the industry should use blue hydrogen until the cost of green hydrogen becomes more economical.

Green hydrogen is produced using renewable electricity that powers electrolyzers to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. Blue hydrogen is produced using natural gas reformation, but its carbon dioxide...

Report: Batteries usually more feasible, environmentally beneficial than green hydrogen

An Earthjustice report says battery electric is almost always better than green hydrogen.

There’s a lot of talk about using hydrogen as a fuel to decarbonize the transportation industry. The hydrogen aircraft market could be worth $174 billion by 2040, according to Gediminas Žiemelis, chairman of the board of Avia Solutions Group.

But, currently 99.8% of hydrogen that’s produced is made using fossil fuels, according to an Earthjustice report released Tuesday.

While green hydrogen, which does not produce greenhouse gas emissions nor use fossil fuels, may be a useful fuel to reduce...

What is the DOE Hydrogen Energy Earthshots Initiative?

AskWaves explores the Department of Energy's Hydrogen Earthshots Initiative.

In June, the Department of Energy (DOE) announced an Energy Earthshots Initiative designed to speed innovation, research and deployment of clean energy technologies at scale.

“First up: Hydrogen Shot, which sets an ambitious yet achievable cost target to accelerate innovations and spur demand of clean hydrogen. Clean hydrogen is a game changer. It will help decarbonize high-polluting heavy-duty and industrial sectors, while delivering good-paying clean energy jobs and realizing a net-zero...
