Hubs are a key part of the development of a hydrogen economy, according to a panel hosted by Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week. Hydrogen hubs, sometimes known as clusters, help companies share risk and infrastructure, as well as encouraging them to develop partnerships and more easily match supply with demand, the panellists noted.
