GREEN HYDROGEN meaning hydrogen produced from renewable energy – is the most suitable one for a fully sustainable energy transition. The most established technology options for producing green hydrogen is water electrolysis fuelled by renewable electricity.
TURQUOISE HYDROGEN combines the use of natural gas as feedstock with no CO2 production. Through the process of pyrolysis, the carbon in the methane becomes solid carbon black. A market for carbon black already exists, which provides an additional revenue stream. Carbon black can be more easily stored than gaseous CO2.
INPUTS: Bio gas & electricity from renewables. Leverages existing gas and electricity distribution infrastructures; eliminates costly hydrogen transport and reduces storage costs.
OUTPUTS: Hydrogen and high grade carbon.
