Clean Hydrogen - Blue vs Green Hydrogen and its role in our energy future - Livestream

Hydrogen is emerging as an important, potential zero-emission transportation, industrial and energy storage fuel. But there are many ways to make hydrogen and not all of them are climate friendly. Colors have been used to indicate how the hydrogen is made. Green hydrogen for example indicates hydrogen that has been created using renewable energy while grey hydrogen is created using fossil fuels. Blue hydrogen is created by using fossil fuels but includes carbon capture and storage to sequester some of the carbon dioxide emitted.

Join us for a webinar that will explore the differences between green vs blue hydrogen with one of the leading experts on the topic, Cornell Professor Robert Howarth. He released a study in August 2021 showing that blue hydrogen is energy intensive and releases significant green house gas emissions even when sequestering some of the carbon dioxide released. Robert Howarth is also an expert in natural gas leakage and will discuss the important topic of underreported methane leaks.
