Worldwide Hydrogen Production, at a Glance
in 2021
99.9%
of worldwide Hydrogen Production came from Black & Brown, Grey or Blue Hydrogen.
Black or Brown Hydrogen Generated from different types of coal.
Grey Hydrogen Created when natural gas is split into hydrogen and CO2 usually through steam methane reformation – SMR.
Blue Hydrogen Also derived from natural gas but in this case the CO2 emissions are captured to be either used in industrial processes or stored underground using carbon capture utilisation and storage – CCUS.
in 2021
< 0.1%
of worldwide Hydrogen Production came from Green Hydrogen.
