Energy - sustainability.
Hydrogen can potentially be burned very cleanly, producing only heat and water.
Brown hydrogen is hydrogen produced in a relatively polluting way, using thermal coal in the production process.
In this context, the term "brown" refers to the heavy carbon impact of using thermal coal (also known as a black or brown coal) to produce this hydrogen.
The hydrogen itself is physically and chemically identical to hydrogen produced using other methods.
- Is hydrogen low carbon?
- "It can be used in a fuel cell or combusted in a boiler, turbine or engine to generate heat or electricity.
- It can be stored in various ways, including at very large scales, and be transported to different end users, in much the same way as natural gas or liquid fuels....
- However, hydrogen can only be considered as a decarbonisation option if it is readily available, at the right price, the right volume and with sufficient confidence it is low carbon.
- In addition, potential users must be able to purchase hydrogen-using equipment, with proper assurances about safety and reliability."
