Four theses on blue hydrogen

Blue hydrogen from natural gas will serve as a bridge until enough green hydrogen is available.

Blue hydrogen promises clean energy from natural gas. The requirements should be as high as possible for the climate, but this creates new dependencies. However, a study by Agora Industrie also shows possible solutions.

To convert the industry to hydrogen, a large proportion will initially come from the reforming of natural gas with subsequent Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) – i.e. from blue hydrogen. The EU Commission is currently working on a delegated act to precisely define low-carbon hydrogen. The report „Low-carbon hydrogen in the EU“ by Agora Industrie and Agora Energiewende sheds light on which levers are crucial from a climate protection perspective. The results are summarized in four theses:
