'Blue hydrogen' is hydrogen made from natural gas, the friendly-sounding name for methane—a highly potent greenhouse gas.
The fossil fuel industry hopes to inject it into the gas grid for heating homes.
But it’s as bad as coal for the climate, as @kevinclimate.bsky.social and I explained here.

The Flaming Star Nebula's vibrant red hues are due to the ionized hydrogen gas emitting light, while the blue areas result from light reflected by interstellar dust.
