TYPES OF HYDROGEN AS A FUEL

 

It takes energy to produce molecular hydrogen. The source of energy and the production method used to make molecular hydrogen determines whether it’s classified as grey hydrogen, blue hydrogen or green hydrogen. Hydrogen can be made from natural gas, coal, or biomass, but these energy sources have associated greenhouse gas emissions. Hydrogen can also be made using electrolysis to split water into oxygen and hydrogen.

Other Colours of Hydrogen

Bituminous coal is used to make Black Hydrogen	Brown coal (lignite) is used to make Brown Hydrogen
Biomass is used to make red hydrogen	Nuclear power is used to make pink hydrogen
Solar power or a mix of energy sources from in the electrical grid is used to make yellow hydrogen	Methane pyrolysis is used to make turquoise hydrogen.
Naturally occurring geological hydrogen is called white hydrogen

HOW Does the green hydrogen work?

 Also Green hydrogen can serve as an energy storage system thanks to its large volume and long life similar to how we now use strategic oil or natural gas reserves. In so doing, we could supply reserves of renewable hydrogen to support the electricity grid.

 GREEN HYDROGEN FOR ENERGY STORAGE 

ALSO Green hydrogen is capable of reaching temperatures that are difficult to achieve with other clean processes. That is why its use in electricity and heating for homes is one of the most promising applications of green hydrogen.

BENEFITS OF USING GREEN HYDROGEN AS A FUEL

Green hydrogen will be one of the protagonists in the upcoming energy transition that global economies are obligated to lead to achieve carbon neutrality and combat climate change.
To this end, it will be of vital importance to eliminate emissions in those uses that are currently difficult to electrify, which is where green hydrogen claims its potential due to all of its inherent benefits:

• It is clean energy: The only waste it generates is water.
• It is Renewable energy: It uses natural resources that are not exhausted.
• It is storable: Green hydrogen can be compressed and stored in ad hoc tanks for a long  time.
• It is transportable: Because it is a very light element, compressed hydrogen tanks allow easier handling than lithium batteries because they are lighter, facilitating transport.
