Blue hydrogen expected to dominate Dutch industrial decarbonisation pathway

Chart shows Total Dutch ETS industry and waste emissions from 1990 to 2050 in Mt CO2. Historical emissions begin ~65 Mt in 1990, decline with fluctuations to ~45 Mt by 2020, then project a steep, near-zero decline toward 0–5 Mt by 2040–2050. An orange solid line tracks historical data; a dashed orange line represents projected reductions. A vertical arrow emphasizes a -59 (-90%) reduction by 2050. The chart also marks average 2020–24 levels and projected values for 2040, 2045 and 2050, with notes about data availability from 2013 onward.

Blue hydrogen could play the leading role in decarbonising Dutch heavy industry over the next 15 years, with a new analysis concluding that CCS-linked hydrogen production delivers the largest emissions reductions while electrification and biomethane provide complementary solutions. The cost-optimised pathway indicates that carbon capture and storage could deliver around 21 Mt of annual emissions reductions by 2040, with approximately 18 […]
