Blue hydrogen value chains are gaining momentum. Especially in the US. So this 16-page note contrasts steam-methane reforming (SMR) versus autothermal reforming (ATR). Each of these different hydrogen reformers has…
…transition. Midstream challenges remain. But we find they are less challenging for blue hydrogen than for green hydrogen on page 16. A scale-up of blue hydrogen is a dream scenario…
…varies by region. The trajectory looks very different in US hydrogen markets, Europe, the broader OECD and non-OECD (pages 12-16). Blue hydrogen value chains are now booming in the US,…
…CO2 capture (e.g., KBR technology) or lower uptime and resiliency. Our updated model of blue hydrogen costs integrates some of the considerations from this data-file and blue hydrogen technology review….
…Economy. Well over 80% of 2050’s hydrogen market is likely to be blue hydrogen. This is ultimately derived from natural gas energy (increasing gas demand). And it is still not…
…the decomposition of CH4. Some might see this as an argument for making hydrogen out of CH4 rather than out of H2O, for example, in blue hydrogen or turquoise hydrogen…
…of CO2 according to pressure and temperature in kg per m3 Hence often the disposal pipeline in a CCS or blue hydrogen value chain may often be pumping a liquid,…
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) prevents CO2 from entering the atmosphere. Options include the amine process, blue hydrogen, novel combustion technologies and cutting edge sorbents and membranes. Total CCS costs…
…pa by 2050) and blue hydrogen ($250bn pa by 2050), if the world is actually serious about decarbonization. Why are your numbers so low for XYZ? Our models prefer low…
…kg of polyurethane. However at $7-10/kg green hydrogen prices, this also inflates the polyurethane price by around $0.8-1.2/kg. Conversely, using US blue hydrogen can avoid similar CO2 emissions with minimal…
