There are plenty of reasons to be wary of oil and gas company plans to boost low-carbon hydrogen production but experts say it could be key to the energy transition
Concerns over blue hydrogen’s long-term viability should not hold up development of the fuel
QUESTIONABLE VALUE Blue hydrogen will face an uphill battle in staying competitive against green a decade from now
EVERYTHING NEEDED Even at higher cost, blue hydrogen can have value in a situation where low-carbon fuel supplies are limited
KEY QUOTE Both green and blue hydrogen are needed ...

Oil and gas companies can bring welcome war chests and skills to the offshore wind sector, but not everyone is happy with the majors’ approach to this globally vital clean energy sector
With a little planning, placing hydrogen electrolysers close to district heating networks can prove to be mutually beneficial for the operators of both technologies, while also accelerating the energy transition
Synthetic electrofuels are predicted to work decarbonisation wonders in the aviation and shipping sectors. In road transport, however, experts and industry largely believe there is little room for e-fuels in the mix but the technology nonetheless has a small yet ardent fanbase
Baseload generation becomes redundant on grids when solar meets demand during the day. As the hours where baseload generation is required falls, it is becoming even more expensive
Renewable ammonia has the potential for rapid expansion. But technical and cost challenges stand in the way
President Emmanuel Macron’s recent campaign to find support for pink hydrogen production in Europe remains at odds with the growing consensus of the technology’s economic feasibility
Harnessing the power of hydrogen through scalable and colour-agnostic infrastructure that already exists today will accelerate the clean energy transition, argues David Burns from Linde
Conversations about the energy transition almost inevitably come around to the subject of hydrogen. Some see it as a silver bullet or— to borrow an image from Michael Liebreich—a Swiss Army knife of a solution to our decarbonisation challenges. To others, however, including Liebreich himself, it is little more than a distraction from the development and deployment of other low-carbon technologies
