Grey hydrogen is hydrogen produced from natural gas through steam methane reforming (SMR) without carbon capture, leading to the release of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into the atmosphere. The grey hydrogen market has been primarily driven by cost-effectiveness, as SMR is a relatively inexpensive method due to the abundance and low cost of natural gas. Additionally, existing infrastructure and reliability have contributed to its popularity in energy-intensive industries such as ammonia and methanol production. Government policies and the lack of sufficient incentives for green hydrogen adoption also play a role in sustaining the demand for grey hydrogen. However, as the focus on decarbonization intensifies, the grey hydrogen market may face challenges from more sustainable alternatives like green hydrogen, produced through electrolysis with renewable energy, and blue hydrogen, which involves capturing and storing CO2 emissions from SMR.
