Bankable — The Colors of Hydrogen, Ranked

📺 Bankable · Real Bet? | ~18 min Everyone says hydrogen is the fuel of the future. Almost nobody asks the only question that matters: *which* hydrogen? It's one molecule — the "color" is just how you made it, and the recipes range from basically free and filthy to genuinely clean and stupidly expensive. I spent over a decade taking first-of-a-kind energy tech from a lab result to something a bank will actually finance, so I put every color — grey, blue, turquoise, green, pink, white — on one cost-vs-carbon map, added the subsidies across North America and beyond (US 45V/45Q, Canada's Clean Hydrogen ITC and its freshly redrawn carbon price, the EU Hydrogen Bank, China's electrolyzer cost lead), and ranked which ones actually pencil. The verdict: two real near-term bets, one genuine wildcard, and the part nobody tells you — the subsidies, not the chemistry, quietly decide it all. Stick to the end and you'll walk away with two numbers that cut through any hydrogen headline for the next decade: a cost number, and a carbon number. 📊 The full research report + the editable financial model — every assumption sourced, swap in your own power prices and carbon costs and run any color yourself — are FREE.
