There is hope for Blue Hydrogen yet:
In looking beyond fossil fuels, shipping’s regulators should not seek to cut the industry off from the sources it needs to shift towards renewables, writes Matthias Ólafsson from the Methanol Institute. A regulatory tailwind has put the maritime...

Even if it only as a stopgap until Green Hydrogen is available in large enough quantity:
The use of blue methanol will provide time for capacity of green methanol to grow. Ideally, the transition would be straight to green fuels, but as the early adopters have discovered, adopting alternative fuels requires securing the supply chain that bears little comparison to current bunkering practice.

China is converting sunshine into green hydrogen on a massive scale:
The crown jewel of this transformation is a solar energy facility with a staggering installed capacity of 500,000 kilowatts. This facility, connected to the national grid in June, represents just one facet of a demonstration project aimed at hydrogen production and carbon emissions reduction.
This demonstration project is just one of several hydrogen initiatives at the Ningdong base. In April 2021, the Ningxia Baofeng Energy Group inaugurated a hydrogen plant powered by a 200-megawatt solar power station. By employing electrolysis to produce hydrogen from water, this plant annually yields 600 million cubic meters of green hydrogen, equivalent to replacing 800,000 tons of coal and mitigating 1.4 million tons of carbon emissions.

The production of low-carbon hydrogen could reach 38 million tonnes by 2030 as long as all projects that have been announced are implemented, the IEA said.
