Blue hydrogen could become our new main energy source<\/span><\/h2>\n

Scientists and technical specialists are working right now on improving the techniques we have at our disposal today to produce and store hydrogen<\/b>, so that this substance could become one of the world’s main energy sources. At the moment, the processes we know are not yet a definitive solution to the environmental issue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The problem is that, <\/span>in order to be completed, the production processes must exploit fossil fuels, which leads to the emission of CO2<\/b>. However, there is now a new technique available that makes it possible to balance pollutant emissions; this is a major discovery that represents a very important step in the fight against air pollution.<\/span><\/p>\n

The result of this innovative process is a type of hydrogen known as blue hydrogen<\/b>. The main feature of this production technique is that all – or at least part – of the CO<\/span>2<\/span> that is created, along with the hydrogen, is recovered. This is a real revolution that could really transform the energy sector in a few years’ time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How blue hydrogen is produced and what limitations there are so far<\/span><\/h2>\n

But why are we still not making the most of this solution? The truth is that <\/span>the most widely used method for producing blue hydrogen<\/b> – so-called Steam Reforming – <\/span>produces a kind of CO<\/b>2<\/b> characterised by such low pressure that it is very difficult to recover<\/b>. According to official data, we are talking about a recovery rate of 60 to 90%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If we add to this the difficulty encountered when storing CO<\/span>2<\/span> – no completely safe and proven methods of storing it have yet been found –<\/span> it becomes<\/span> clear why<\/span> experts think it will still be some time before blue hydrogen can become our main energy source<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, there is plenty of data that gives us hope that in the future, blue hydrogen will be able to replace the far more polluting energy sources<\/b> that we continue to exploit on a primary basis. For example, through the Autothermal Reforming production method – which for various technical reasons is not yet widespread – it is possible to fully recover CO2, while the storage problem is being solved by preparing depleted natural gas and oil fields to perform this task.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
