Creating supply and demand to build the hydrogen economy
Hydrogen technologies are rapidly improving and will become increasingly cost competitive over the next decades
Hydrogen has found its way to the top table of global discussions about CO₂ emissions, as policymakers realise that renewable electricity alone will be insufficient to get us to net zero by 2050. It has become increasingly clear that hydrogen can complement renewables and help decarbonise the sectors that renewables cannot reach. There is a global effort to make hydrogen commercially viable for a range of applications and establish robust demand for it over the next decade. Hydrogen has two key roles to play as the world seeks to achieve net zero: enabling greater use of renewable electricity and decarbonising every part of the global economy, particularly in hard-to-abate sectors.
