In this live episode from World Hydrogen North America, we’re joined by Nichole Saunders, Director and Senior Attorney of the Energy Transition at the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF). Nichole delivers a deep dive into the climate realities of blue H₂—unpacking the crucial need for 95%+ carbon capture rates, the often overlooked threat of upstream methane emissions, and the rigorous standards required for carbon storage integrity. She outlines the policy blind spots, the importance of strong regulatory frameworks, and the need for transparent industry practices if blue H₂ is to earn its place in a truly low-carbon future.
