By now, most people are familiar with the term green hydrogen (according to the H2 color theory). Nevertheless, here is a summary: this is electrolytically produced hydrogen from modern solar and wind power plants. According to the current color theory, this type of hydrogen falls into the highest category and (under the right conditions) is considered CO2-free and therefore the least harmful to the climate. 🔌💨☀️
The term orange hydrogen, on the other hand, is something very few people can imagine. According to color theory, this type of hydrogen falls into the second highest category and also counts as a renewable hydrogen source. It is defined as hydrogen produced from biomass or electricity from waste management. Orange hydrogen can therefore be climate-neutral, but does not have to be. 🍂🍌♻️
It was not provided for in the law on the further development of the greenhouse gas reduction quota and currently plays little (if any) role in the national hydrogen strategy. For us, this is a big mistake!
What we at bhyo want to prove is that orange hydrogen can be a more climate- and nature-friendly alternative by using locally produced biogenic residues (e.g. sewage sludge, organic waste, landscaping and crop residues, NO FOOD! ) and the storage of CO2 in the process can represent an alternative to green hydrogen that is both climate and nature-friendly. This is because such hydrogen is not only CO2-negative, but can also have a positive impact on the local climate and nature balance due to the more efficient recovery of minerals compared to alternative uses of biomass and the feeding of district heating into regional grids. 📍🌽🔥
Furthermore, orange hydrogen represents a large, untapped potential to fill supply gaps in the hydrogen economy of the future that would otherwise have to be filled by fossil processes or imported hydrogen.
It is clear to us that orange hydrogen must play a role in the future if we are to achieve our climate targets. And we at bhyo hope to be able to make a contribution to achieving these goals.
be green. be bhyo. 🌱🌳🌎
