And we keep hearing "green hydrogen". Are you talking about methods of production, or the color? Does it store different than blue? Or Red?
Green hydrogen is defined by the type of energy used for it's production. Hydrogen casn be:
White: Naturally occuring (Not easy to find or use)
Black: Produce by Coal
Grey: Produced from Methane
Brown: Lignite
All of these are using FOSIL FUEL (and almost 95% of current hydrogen production)
Blue: Methane (Fosil Fuel) but the Carbon Monoxide is not released in the atmosphere (less than 1% of current use)
Green: produced with renewable energy. The most expensive production method and the most inconsistent as wind and solar are not constant. For this reason Green hydrogen production normally uses also fosil fuel when renewable energy is not available to keep the production equipment running otherwise the investment never pays off. This forces Green hydrogen to produce between 25 to 50% of Carbon emmisions than Fosil Fuel production because they run 25 to 50% of the time on fosil fuel.
So what is the solution? Direct sea water extraction with sea current power generation. Underwater power generation using sea water current never stops and it is quite reliable. The latest technology development allows for Hydrogen production directly from sea water without processing it. This will make the best source of hydrogen because it won't be Fosil Fuel dependant and it does not need water conditioning.
This is also the only possible way currently to produce hydrogen at pricess competitivelly to gasoline pricess. All other production methods produce hydrogen at a net cost higher than gasoline.
