Hydrogen has the potential to become a leading player in the energy transition. It is a versatile, storable and emission-free energy carrier<\/strong>, which can be used to drive decarbonisation in sectors where direct electrification on its own is not a solution, such as heavy industry and long-distance transport.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

When hydrogen is produced by the electrolysis of water using renewable electricity<\/strong> (solar, wind, hydro), it is known as green hydrogen<\/strong>. The process produces no carbon emissions and can use surplus renewable energy, thus solving one of the great challenges facing the electricity system, intermittency of renewable output.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

    \u2022 Zero emissions in use<\/strong>: the only by-product is steam.\r\n\r\n\t
  • \u2022 Storage and flexibility<\/strong>: hydrogen can operate as a bridge between renewable generation and power demand.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\t
  • \u2022 Miscellaneous applications<\/strong>: sustainable mobility (trains, trucks, ships), industrial processes, production of synthetic fuels and domestic uses.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\t
  • \u2022 Boost for competition and technology<\/strong>: promotes new solutions and generates opportunities for the industry.<\/li>\r\n\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

    Green hydrogen still has to overcome a number of challenges:<\/p>\r\n

      \r\n\t
    • \u2022 Reducing production costs<\/strong> to make it competitive with other sources.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\t
    • \u2022 Developing<\/strong> transport, storage and distribution infrastructures<\/strong>.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\t
    • \u2022 Ensuring sufficient renewable output<\/strong> to meet future demand.<\/li>\r\n\r\n<\/ul>\r\n

      Despite these challenges, hydrogen offers a unique opportunity to accelerate the transition to a cleaner and safer energy system, complementing other solutions such as electrification and storage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
