Blue hydrogen is produced from natural gas, with carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology scooping up the resulting CO2. Blue hydrogen locks in dependence on natural gas, with all the price volatility and geopolitics that comes with it, and it also relies on the development of cheap and effective CCS.
