Blue Hydrogen
A fuel without a future
Despite industry claims, blue hydrogen — which is made from methane, a climate pollutant — is not the fuel of the future.
Here’s why:
- The cost of blue hydrogen production is tied to volatile gas prices;
- Its production relies on costly carbon capture technology that has failed to meet the industry goal in real world commercial applications;
- Green hydrogen is increasingly competitive;
- It doesn’t help investors or utilities to meet ESG or clean energy targets;
- Subsidizing blue hydrogen means subsidizing pollution; and,
- The blue hydrogen industry can’t be counted on as a jobs engine or long-term revenue source for communities.
