Blue hydrogen removes >95% of CO2 emissions vs gray H2 when ATR is used. It also scales incredibly fast. This report does not link to its source downplaying blueH2 but most reports saying same thing link to flawed Jacobson/Howarth report. BlueH2 is an amazing stop gap for climate while greenH2 ramps
💡IEEFA’s latest report highlights why blue hydrogen is a risky bet for steel decarbonisation:
🔹 Limited climate benefits: underperforming carbon capture, methane emissions, and rejection of fossil-based materials.
🔹 Missing the shift to green steel.

Blue hydrogen: A false hope for steel decarbonisation
The value of hydrogen in the steel sector lies in its potential to reduce carbon emissions by replacing fossil fuels in the production process. However, using blue hydrogen – produced from fossil fuel...

And then she had to leave very quickly so there was no chance to follow up. I asked how investment by the hydrocarbon industry in green H2 compared with that in BlueH2. Her reply was that carbon capture means that Blue H2 can be “clean”. 🙄

#BlueHydrogen is fossil-based, with CO2 captured w/ #CCS
Research shows that #blueH2 total ghg footprint can be 20% or even 50% worse 4 the planet than burning gas directly.
Fossil fuel lobbyists have for years lobbied to label #blueH2 as low carbon or clean.

Label #BlueH2 as 'clean’ means billions in new subsidies 4 #fossilfuel projects that exacerbate the #ClimateCrisis
⛔no to #False Solutions such as #CCS and #H2
🆗 we need #FossilFreePolitics, to deliver real solutions & bring carbon emissions down to #RealZero

Case in point: same #lobbies that want to label #blueH2 as clean, use the #deregulation 🚌 #Omnibus laws to roll back hard-won climate protections, such as the EU’s 2024 Methane Regulation.
⚠️ This could open the door for continued imports of highly polluting #LNG from fracked gas in the US

A lot of good info in this piece but this line deserves attention.
"This is the key reason why gas-fired power plants and other gas-fired processes, at least in their existing form, are some of the worst targets for any form of carbon capture."
Carbon capture doesn't work. Another reminder.

#LNG is another wolf in green clothing. America exports LNG produced from fracked gas to the UK which will likely find its way into the #BlueHydrogen supply chain. Upstream methane emissions are entirely ignored by the fossil fuel industry when it hypes 'low carbon' solutions like LNG and #BlueH2.
