The US has launched a new policy to boost the hydrogen industry in 2021. Both the Republican and Democratic parties in Congress have agreed on this policy, even though they've often disagreed on other issues in the past. What's brought them together on this one?
Hydrogen is everywhere, on Earth and even in space. It's the first element on the periodic table, which means it's the lightest and most common element in this universe. Hydrogen is used to make fertillizers, water, and energy, such as electricity and industiral products like iron bars.
Hydrogen can be divided into three categories based on how cleanly it's produced : gray, blue, and green. Gray hydrogen is produced when it's released from chemical plants that emit a lot of CO2. Blue hydrogen is similar to gray hydrogen, but it captures CO2 emissions, which is more environmetally friendly. Finally, green hydrogen is produced using renewable enerygy sources like solar and wind power. For example, when a wind turbine generates electricity, we can use that electricity to split water into oxygen and hydrogen. The hydrogen that's split from water is a clean energy source that doesn't emit CO2.
Some protesters against blue hydrogen argue that when CO2 is captured and stored underground, some of it can leak from pipes that are carrying natural gas. Additionally, storing CO2 underground requires energy, such as natural gas. They're concerned that the natural gas used to store CO2 could emit CO2.
While this issue could be a critical problem in the future, there's no doubt that green hydrogen can be a clean energy source. That's why the US government is looking for states that are interested in taking advantage of this opportunity to generate hydrogen with financial support.
Person A: Did you hear about the new US hydrogen policy?
Person B: Yeah, it's pretty exciting. It sounds like the government is serious about supporting the growth of the hydrogen industry.
Person A: I agree. It's great to see both the Republican and Democratic parties on the same page about something.
Person B: Yeah, that is surprising. But I think it shows that there's a lot of bipartisan support for hydrogen as a clean energy source.
Person A: So, what do you think of the different types of hydrogen? Gray, blue, and green?
Person B: Well, I think green hydrogen is obviously the ideal. It's produced using renewable energy, so it's completely clean.
Person A: True. But blue hydrogen is also a good option, because it captures CO2 emissions. That's a big step up from gray hydrogen, which doesn't capture any emissions at all.
Person B: Yeah, I agree. Blue hydrogen is definitely a bridge technology to green hydrogen.
Person A: So, what are the challenges?
Person B: Well, one challenge is that blue hydrogen is still more expensive to produce than gray hydrogen. But the cost is coming down as the technology improves.
Person A: Another challenge is that there's not yet a lot of infrastructure in place to transport and store hydrogen. But that's also starting to change.
Person B: Overall, I think the outlook for hydrogen is very positive. It's a clean energy source that has the potential to replace fossil fuels in a variety of applications.
Person A: I agree. I'm excited to see how the hydrogen industry develops in the coming years.
