No, it's not hydrogen made by girls, as much as that would be apt. It's not related to Green Hydrogen, And it's certainly not a dirty as Blue or Brown.


The Future Is Bright For Pink Hydrogen

While green hydrogen has received plenty of attention recently, pink hydrogen has been largely overlooked until now. In recent years, companies have been racing to develop green hydrogen projects, to remain competitive, as more countries look for alternatives to natural gas, diesel, and jet fuel. Green hydrogen is widely seen as a renewable energy source that has the potential to replace fossil fuels as it can be applied for a number of uses. While grey and blue hydrogen use natural gas in the production process, green hydrogen relies on electrolysis powered by renewable energy sources, where water is split into hydrogen and oxygen. In contrast, pink hydrogen is produced using nuclear power, also making it carbon-free, although not technically green due to the classification of nuclear energy as non-renewable.

The ability to make huge amounts of hydrogen using nuclear power provides a path to build a carbon-free hydrogen economy that could step in and replace the current fossil fuel powered economy.

It’s unlikely that the US will take this path, since the Ds will never support nuclear power. But perhaps some other country will choose to test the pink hydrogen path to a carbon free future.
