PE Live: Hydrogen set for widespread industrial use

Technology for using hydrogen to reduce CO<sub>2</sub> emissions is proven and large-scale projects are in development across power, steelmaking and maritime fuels among many sectors

Hydrogen will be central to reducing CO2 emissions across power generation and many industrial sectors as it becomes cheaper and more widely available over the next decade, a panel of experts agreed on a PE Live 8 webcast last week. Generating power from fossil fuels, including natural gas, is a leading source of CO2 emissions. Its concentration in plants at mass scale makes the power generation sector particularly suitable for the integration of hydrogen to reduce its footprint. While the ultimate aim is likely to be renewables and green hydrogen—certainly in the view of the European Commission strategy announced this month—there are many intermediate steps that would drastically reduce emi
