Oil and gas producer defends blue hydrogen expansion but UN climate champion calls this position “crazy”
A global expansion of clean hydrogen production to support the transition to a net-zero energy system should be evenly split between the green and blue forms of the fuel to limit the need to scale up renewable electricity generation, according to Giulia Chierchia, BP’s executive vice president strategy & sustainability. “When we think about the mix of blue versus green…we think of a mix, which is a 50/50 blue and green,” she told a panel discussion at the launch of BP’s annual Statistical Review of World Energy. “If you only try to produce hydrogen out of green hydrogen with electrolysis, you're basically increasing the amount of renewable that you need to deploy to the system from 550GW
