Also last month, the German government announced it would invest €9 billion ($10.7 billion) in its own national hydrogen strategy. While this is also produced from natural gas, blue hydrogen production uses carbon capture utilization and storage technologies (CCUS) to prevent the emitted CO2 from entering the atmosphere. When the electricity used to perform the process comes from renewable sources, green hydrogen becomes truly zero carbon. The Hydrogen Taskforce told Forbes.com it expects the government to release a hydrogen strategy next year. To this end, academics from CESI and eight British universities have been at work on a regional renewable energy strategy for the north of England.
