The illustration below provides a breakdown of the three main types of hydrogen and how each one is created As it currently stands, the average cost of producing green hydrogen is over 50% higher than the cost for producing grey or blue hydrogen. [...] The biggest challenge for clean hydrogen (mainly green and blue) has often been quoted as the cost of carbon capture when referring to blue hydrogen, and the cost of clean fuel or the electrol- yser, depending on whether you are in North Amer- ica or Europe, with regards to green hydrogen.
