As of June 20, 2023, the amount of CO2 [carbon dioxide] in the atmosphere has now risen to 421 parts per million, way past the level of 350 ppm considered safe. Because fossil fuels are used both to produce blue hydrogen and to operate its carbon capture technology, its carbon emissions are quite high.
