The energy transition poses many questions for engineers and investors.
One of the main questions: Which hydrogen is better - green or turquoise?
The first electrolysis hydrogen was obtained in 1800, but for two centuries it could not take a significant place in the energy sector. Who will guarantee us that electrolysis hydrogen will be out of competition in the 21st century? There are no such guarantees, which is a big risk for investors.
The old, proven methane pyrolysis technology that produces turquoise hydrogen poses less risk. Most importantly, this technology will provide a return on giant investments in exploration, production and transportation of natural gas. A by-product of the production of turquoise hydrogen is solid carbon black, a valuable raw material for the production of tires, plastics, paints and inks.
And the main advantage of turquoise hydrogen over green hydrogen is that it does not need purified fresh water at all. This makes it possible to obtain turquoise hydrogen directly in places of gas fields - in deserts and seas.
