Blue Hydrogen

BLUE HYDROGEN Blue hydrogen is derived from natural gas through the process of steam methane reforming (SMR). SMR mixes natural gas with very hot steam, in the presence of a catalyst, where a chemical reaction creates hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Additional water is added to the mixture converting the carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide and creating more hydrogen. The carbon dioxide emissions produced are then captured and stored underground using Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) technology leaving nearly pure hydrogen. Blue H2 facts: • The most common and economical way to produce hydrogen • When used with CCUS, blue hydrogen produces nearly zero emissions • Alberta has the infrastructure to produce blue hydrogen cheaper than any other jurisdiction in the world Natural Gas Pure Hydrogen Hydrogen and Hydrogen and remains Carbon Monoxide Carbon Dioxide are formed are formed Steam Steam CO2 removed, transported and permanently stored 5468 GREEN HYDROGEN Green hydrogen is the production of hydrogen from renewable energy through electrolysis. It is a process that splits water into its basic elements – hydrogen and oxygen – using an electric current. The electricity used in the process comes from renewables. Green H2 facts: • Most expensive method for producing hydrogen • Producing hydrogen generates zero emissions • Electrolysis can be powered by renewable energy such as wind, hydropower and solar energy Clean water is pumped into the electrolyser The water is split by an electric charge into hydrogen and oxygen O2 The oxygen is released H2 into the atmosphere or utilized H2O The hydrogen is captured 5468.
