Green and blue forms of the fuel will be necessary to address intermittency and ensure liquid market, says panel at World Hydrogen Summit
All colours of hydrogen are needed to develop a liquid market for trade in the fuel, according to panellists at the World Hydrogen Summit in Rotterdam. One of the best ways to encourage the development of the sector is to ensure a strong traded market develops as quickly as possible—as is now starting to happen with the LNG market. But the hydrogen market needs to develop more rapidly because of the pressure to decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors and reach net-zero emissions by the middle of the century. The intermittency of green hydrogen production means other forms—certainly blue and potentially also grey—will be needed to develop a market in the short term, according to Bert den Ouden, pro
