WEBINAR - Low Carbon Intensity Hydrogen - A Technoeconomic and Carbon Intensity Study
Note, this Webinar was held on April 26th - if you missed it Contact Us for further information
Hydrogen is an important feedstock for clean fuels and chemicals, but conventional production has a very high carbon intensity. Low carbon intensity hydrogen is becoming an increasingly important tool for decarbonization—not just for the large existing applications that require hydrogen, but also as an expanded tool for decarbonization of other industries. Growth in e-Methanol, e-Ammonia, e-SAF, are all built upon low carbon intensity hydrogen. Many options exist for low carbon intensity hydrogen: several routes to green, blue, pink, purple, red, yellow, and turquoise hydrogen are emerging as viable alternatives to “dirty” production.
This webinar will explore the options for decarbonizing hydrogen production, with a discussion of high level insights found in the NexantECA Special Report: Low Carbon Intensity Hydrogen—A Technoeconomic and Carbon Intensity Study.

Low Carbon Intensity Hydrogen - A Technoeconomic and Carbon Intensity Study
Traditionally hydrogen is generated from fossil feedstock and processes that emit significant amounts of CO2. Green and other colors of hydrogen hold significant potential and interest for decarbonization of sectors that have previously been difficult to decarbonize. This includes both existing applications (e.g., refining, feedstock for chemicals) as well as emerging applications (e.g., e-methanol, e-ammonia, e-SAF), as well as potential in direct use for carbon emission free combustion. Growing interest in low carbon intensity hydrogen has stemmed from mounting net zero pledges and decarbonization goals, and an increasing focus on the energy transition. Production options explored several global regions (US, China, Brazil, and Western Europe) and technologies covering thermochemical (biomass gasification), bio-methane reforming, carbon capture, electrolysis, and other advanced pathways from a technical, economic (cost of production model), and carbon intensity level—including breakeven values for emission reductions under carbon taxation scenarios.
