Hydrogen comes in many "colors," each representing its production method and environmental impact. Here’s a quick look at the different types:
Green Hydrogen: Produced using renewable energy sources like wind and solar power to split water into hydrogen and oxygen through electrolysis, making it the cleanest form of hydrogen.
Blue Hydrogen: Created from natural gas through a process called steam methane reforming, with the carbon emissions captured and stored to reduce environmental impact.
Grey Hydrogen: Also produced from natural gas through steam methane reforming, but without capturing the resulting carbon emissions, making it less environmentally friendly.
Pink Hydrogen: Generated using nuclear energy to power the electrolysis process, offering a low-carbon alternative by leveraging the consistent output of nuclear power.
Turquoise Hydrogen: Produced through methane pyrolysis, where natural gas is split into hydrogen and solid carbon, potentially offering a low-carbon solution if the carbon is permanently stored or used.
Brown/Black Hydrogen: Made from coal through gasification, with high carbon emissions and significant environmental impact, depending on the type of coal used (brown coal or black coal).
Yellow Hydrogen: Produced using grid electricity, which can be a mix of renewable and non-renewable sources, resulting in variable carbon emissions based on the energy mix.
