During a panel discussion at the ACT Expo in Anaheim, California, experts highlighted the need to move beyond the traditional color categories associated with hydrogen to facilitate its increased utilization in transportation. Abhinav Kumar from Linde Engineering stressed the importance of being 'color agnostic' particularly in the context of medium and heavy-duty vehicles. The conversation revolved around differentiating between green hydrogen produced through renewable energy sources, blue hydrogen derived from natural gas with carbon capture, and gray hydrogen sourced from natural gas without carbon capture. Other colors like turquoise and yellow signify various sources and methods of hydrogen production. Sarah Farnand from Air Products underlined the significance of deploying all colors of hydrogen to achieve cleaner air, mentioning ongoing projects in Edmonton, Louisiana, Saudi Arabia, and Arizona. Greg Heller from Total Hydrogen Solutions emphasized the need to focus on the current achievable solutions rather than waiting for ideal scenarios. The panelists expressed concerns over the complexity arising from diverse interpretations of color codes for hydrogen and stressed the urgency of establishing hydrogen production facilities to incentivize early adopters. The overarching message was to prioritize action in scaling up hydrogen infrastructure to meet the growing demand for sustainable transportation solutions.
