Most hydrogen is gray hydrogen made through steam methane reforming, and blue hydrogen is made using steam methane reforming with carbon capture and storage. Answer: Green hydrogen. Why not the others: Grey hydrogen is made through steam methane reforming, not electrolysis with renewable power; blue hydrogen is made using steam methane reforming with carbon capture, not renewable electrolysis; hydrogen peroxide is a different chemical compound and not a colour name for hydrogen fuel.
