- New research models the value of clean hydrogen in decarbonizing heavy industries/heavy transport: China can potentially utilize clean hydrogen (“green” and “blue” hydrogen) to decarbonize HTA sectors, and aid in achieving its 2030 and 2060 decarbonization pledges. https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/966484 3 comments science
- Green hydrogen is on track to achieve price parity with blue hydrogen by 2030, which will help decarbonize industries where direct electrification isn't feasible. Hydrogen could satisfy 10% of the world's energy needs by 2050 according to the IEA. https://year2049.substack.com/p/the-truth-about-hydrogen-fuel 31 comments futurology
- Europe’s hydrogen split: blue vs green and north vs south. Northern Europe is in danger of locking itself into a subsidy-dependent blue hydrogen system where all the risks sit with the governments and all the profits with oil and gas companies. https://www.euractiv.com/section/energy/opinion/europes-hydrogen-split-blue-vs-green-and-north-vs-south/ 9 comments energy
- ‘Disappointing’ year for hydrogen despite momentum. The fuel has yet to prove whether it can become a significant part of the energy mix. Just 0.1 per cent of global hydrogen supply last year was green hydrogen, with 0.9 per cent blue. Hydrogen remains “hugely controversial” among investors. https://www.afr.com/companies/energy/disappointing-year-for-hydrogen-despite-momentum-20230109-p5cb7j 114 comments energy
- 'EU support for blue hydrogen would make it harder for Europe to wean itself off Russian gas'. Regulatory approach to blue hydrogen would leave Europe as dependent on energy imports in 2030 as it was in 2021. Global Witness calls upon the EU to focus solely on green hydrogen. https://www.rechargenews.com/energy-transition/eu-support-for-blue-hydrogen-would-make-it-harder-for-europe-to-wean-itself-off-russian-gas/2-1-1214612 10 comments energy

- [Green Paradox] Blue hydrogen has a methane problem. Experts warn that blue hydrogen may be more harmful than coal. Methane is 86 times more powerful than carbon over 20 years, and 25% of the global warming experienced in recent decades has been driven by methane. http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20210718000147 28 comments energy
- Hydrogen isn't as clean as it seems. The GHG footprint of fossil fuel-produced hydrogen is substantially larger than even that of coal. The natural gas industry has started to promote the idea of blue hydrogen. At first glance it sounds promising, but do not be fooled: Blue is not the new green. https://thehill.com/opinion/energy-environment/558366-hydrogen-isnt-as-clean-as-it-seems?amp= 4 comments environment

- Green groups cry foul on clean hydrogen hype. The $1 trillion infrastructure deal would allocate $8 billion for hydrogen "hubs" to produce the fuel from an array of sources including fossil fuels.

- Blue hydrogen's methane emissions are a problem, but green hydrogen is set to achieve price parity by 2030. The IRA includes a $3/kg tax credit for green hydrogen production. Six African countries are partnering up to accelerate green H production. Canada + Germany have also inked a green H deal. https://year2049.substack.com/p/the-truth-about-hydrogen-fuel 6 comments futurology
