Over the H2 Rainbow

Just wrote up some quick thoughts on the Hydrogen (H2) economy for a friend, might as well post them here as well!

H2 Nuance:

• Opportunity

  • different colors of H2 depending on the source

  • different end uses

  • which makes for varying chains of value

    • are you splitting water (electrolysis) GREEN

    • are you getting it from steam methane reforming w/out carbon capture, utilization, and storage (ccus) GRAY

    • are you getting it from steam methane reforming w/ ccus BLUE

    • are you getting it from methane pyrolysis w/ solid ccus TURQUOISE

    • and others (black, brown, yellow, pink, red, orange .. and whatever they come up with next)

    • notice most is currently mainly from fossil fuels and the colors are mainly attributed to various methods thereof

• So, I have no idea where to start, more of a secular theme in my book
