Hydrogen, one of the main energy topics today

We have recently heard a lot about the role of hydrogen in the energy transition, but do we really know the difference between gray, blue, and green hydrogen? I'm about to share the key difference between them.

• Gray Hydrogen: produced using fossil fuels such as natural gas. 95% of the hydrogen consumed today comes from the conversion of fossil fuels.

• Blue Hydrogen: although it meets the low carbon emissions threshold, it is generated using non-renewable energy sources such as nuclear.

• Green Hydrogen: this type is not only generated using renewable energy sources such as solar or wind, but it also meets the threshold of low carbon emissions.

For the energy transition, Hydrogen plays a key role especially for energy-intensive sectors such as steel and cement. The challenge ahead includes developing economic solutions, producing hydrogen economically, just to mention some. Today #bluehydrogen is the most economical solution, however, #greenhydrogen is expected to take the lead in the future as technology develops and costs for its production are dramatically reduced.
