Blue hydrogen from natural gas reforming coupled with carbon capture and storage (CCS) is seen as one potential low-emission hydrogen production pathway. Diverging life cycle assessments (LCA) on the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of blue hydrogen, however, make its contribution in a future carbon-neutral energy system
bp today announced that it is developing plans for the UK''s largest blue hydrogen production facility, targeting 1GW of hydrogen production by 2030. The project would capture and send for storage up to two million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO₂) per year, equivalent to capturing the emissions from the heating of one million UK households¹.
Natural gas based hydrogen production with carbon capture and storage is referred to as blue hydrogen. If substantial amounts of CO2 from natural gas reforming are captured and permanently stored, such hydrogen could be a low-carbon energy carrier. However, recent research raises questions about the effectiv

3 · Blue hydrogen is, therefore, sometimes referred to as carbon neutral as the emissions are not dispersed in the atmosphere. However, some argue that "low carbon" would be a more accurate description, as10-20% of the generated carbon cannot be captured. Grey, blue, green and more – the many colours of hydrogen.

2.1 Blue hydrogen production technology with CO2 capture. Hydrogen production from natural gas is a well-established technology that has been used for decades in industry,25,26e.g. for oil refining and ammonia production. Currently, the most widely used technology for production of high purity hydrogen at the scale needed in chemical plants
1. Our interest in hydrogen and carbon capture in Scotland was prompted during our inquiry into renewable energy in Scotland in 2021. 1 In that report, we focused on the vast potential for Scottish renewable energy to make progress against the UK and Scottish Governments'' ambitious net zero targets. We received various
blue hydrogen production. Large-scale production of low-carbon hydrogen (known as blue hydrogen) is an important step towards reducing global carbon dioxide emissions. The technology is comparable with today''s grey hydrogen production from fossil fuels but includes additional carbon capturing and sequestration (CCS) to permanently remove
While blue hydrogen is clean and nearly carbon-free, it is controversial. Critics say it perpetuates reliance on petroleum and still creates emissions. Natural gas
The immediate and relatively cost-effective option is to retrofit existing plants with carbon capture and storage (blue hydrogen). The environmental impact of blue hydrogen may vary over large ranges but depends on only a few key parameters: the methane emission rate of the natural gas supply chain, the CO 2 removal rate at the
Updated 1 September 2023. The hydrogen and Industrial Carbon Capture (ICC) business models will support the Government''s ambition for up to 10GW of low carbon hydrogen production capacity
Carbon capture utilization and storage supporting blue hydrogen production As indicated previously, industrial-scale hydrogen production from fossil fuels to cope with the goal of the current energy transition, namely, limiting global warming, is an unsustainable process, as it emits large volumes of CO 2 into the atmosphere.
The Louisiana Clean Energy Complex will produce low-carbon hydrogen to power mobility and industrial markets in the Gulf Coast region and beyond. The facility will capture and sequester 95% of its carbon dioxide emissions (over 5 million tons per year), permanently sequestering the CO2 in ideal geological pore space in Louisiana.
This review paper presents major aspects of blue H 2 production, which employs carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies to minimize the CO 2
increase rapidly. "Blue" hydrogen production from natural gas along with carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) is necessary to bridge the gap until large-scale hydrogen production using renewable energy becomes economic. The cost of carbon dioxide 2
A growing number of European Union countries want to establish a minimum CO2 price that will gradually increase to around €30 to €40 per ton over the next 10 years. That means the cost of CO2 could eventually add almost €0.50 to the price of a kilo of grey hydrogen in Europe, bringing the total price to around €2.
H-vision: blue hydrogen to accelerate carbon-low industry. Industry in the Rotterdam port area has strong ambitions to become more sustainable. By 2025, it aims to reduce CO2 emissions by two megatons through the use of CO2 capture and storage, rising to at least six megatons by 2030. That represents almost half of the 14 Mton reduction
For blue hydrogen production, the overall greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are primarily affected by emissions from natural gas production, processing, and transport (CO 2 and methane), as well as process efficiency and carbon capture ratio.
Blue hydrogen cost ranges from $1.69-$2.55 per kg H 2 depending on the production technology. • Autothermal reforming (ATR) with carbon capture and storage (CCS) and natural gas decomposition with CCS produce H 2
Blue hydrogen, where that CO2 is captured and stored underground, is being pushed by big oil and gas companies as a lower-carbon energy source. Enlarge this image Black or brown hydrogen is
The two-day conference on hydrogen derived from natural gas with carbon capture, utilization and sequestration took place on September 20-21, 2022 at Stanford University. The event was hosted by the Natural Gas Initiative, the Stanford Center for Carbon Storage, and the Hydrogen Initiative. The day brought together leaders and
''Blue'' hydrogen typically refers to hydrogen which has been made using methane or other carbon-based gases. The carbon dioxide produced is then captured ready for long-term geological storage.
Mature carbon capture technologies can remove 95% of CO 2 in blue H 2 production. Hydrogen is expected to play a key role in the world''s energy-mix in the near
For comparison, blue hydrogen produced from steam methane reforming could result in 2.3–8.9 kgCO 2 e kg H 2 −1, assuming a CO 2 capture rate of 93% can
And two emerging solutions—low-carbon hydrogen 1 and carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS)—will need to play a pivotal role. These solutions come at a significant cost. We estimate that up to $13 trillion of private-sector investment in hydrogen and CCUS will be required to achieve the International Energy Agency''s (IEA)
The blue hydrogen option (if supported by carbon capture and utilization/storage) has mature technologies and infrastructure to produce and transport in large quantities. The fermentation of organic waste materials, gasification of bio-materials, bio-photolysis, and microbial electrolysis cells form a newly evolving cluster of bio-hydrogen.
3. REVIEW OF HYDROGEN CARBON CAPTURE MODELLING ASSUMPTIONS. In the review of the underlying studies, five factors of influence in CC modelling have been identified: the reforming process, CC technology, placement of CC unit in the process, capture rate and CC energy consumption.

"Blue hydrogen" production controls CO 2 emissions by applying carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technology to the existing gray hydrogen process. Performance improvement by identifying key performance-influencing factors of materials for each unit can be a valid approach to effectively solve the aforementioned issues.
Blue hydrogen starts with converting methane to hydrogen and carbon dioxide by using heat, steam and pressure, or gray hydrogen, but goes further to capture some of the carbon dioxide. Once the byproduct carbon dioxide and the other impurities are sequestered, it becomes blue hydrogen, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
