Power consumption for electrolysis can be adjusted to follow actual solar and wind output, while producing the hydrogen needed for transport, industry or injection into the gas grid. In the long run, hydrogen could become a key element in 100% renewable energy systems. With technologies maturing, actual scale-up should yield major cost reductions.
Abstract. Hydrogen is gaining momentum in the current global energy transition framework. In fact a great and widespread enthusiasm is growing up towards it, as indicated by the current worldwide economic and political strategies, which endorse the carbon neutrality by 2030 and a fast transition to clean energy.
Some scientists believe hydrogen energy may be a cleaner, more efficient way to power our world. Hydrogen is a naturally occurring gas, and it is the most abundant substance in the universe. (The word in Greek means "water former" because hydrogen creates water when burned.) Clean hydrogen is hydrogen produced with
Targeting the net-zero emission (NZE) by 2050, the hydrogen industry is drastically developing in recent years. However, the technologies of hydrogen upstream production, midstream transportation and storage, and downstream utilization are facing obstacles. In this paper, the development of hydrogen industry from the production,
The power of hydrogen to accelerate the energy transition is unprecedented. Clean hydrogen—produced using renewable energy or processes with low gas emissions—has been hailed as a potential game changer. It enables the clean production of industrial commodities and can be used to decarbonize transportation
In this paper we explore the role of hydrogen in the energy transition, including its potential, recent achievements, and challenges to its deployment. We also offer recommendations to ensure that the proper conditions are developed to accelerate the deployment of hydrogen technologies, with the support of policymakers, the private
The industrial use of hydrogen (H 2) is presently dominated by oil refining and ammonia production, mainly synthesized from natural gas reforming or heavy oil oxidation (gray H 2).The expansion of electrolytic H 2 (green H 2) aims at industrial decarbonization as fuel, chemical feedstock (Rissman et al. 2020), and renewable
Green hydrogenis defined as hydrogen produced by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using renewable electricity. This is a very different pathway compared to both grey and blue. Grey hydrogen is traditionally produced from methane (CH4), split with steam into CO2 – the main culprit for climate change – and H2, hydrogen.
Hydrogen role in the global energy transition can be understood through its unique properties. When hydrogen is used in fuel cells, it produces electricity through an electrochemical process without combustion, resulting in zero-emission electricity generation (Siddiqui and Dincer, 2019).This makes fuel cell technology highly efficient and
Hydrogen as an energy carrier will play an important role in decarbonization of multiple industries. Partnerships between politicians, businesses and individuals alike will be key to ensuring a successful transition to greener
Hydrogen''s growth, and its role in the energy transition, is being made possible by a unique mix of supportive government policies and incentives, innovative private sector companies willing to invest in pioneering projects and the growth of the ESG-oriented investment sector, as well as broader societal concerns over climate change
2 · Clean Hydrogen and hydrogen-based fuels could help decarbonize hard-to-abate industries, mobility, and power generation. While the market for clean hydrogen is growing, it is not increasing fast enough
background, it is very timely that this edition of the Oxford Energy Forum is dedicated to exploring the role of hydrogen in the energy transition. Adam Hawkes from the Sustainable Gas Institute at Imperial College, London sets the scene well, looking at the potential role of hydrogen in the context of an overall decarbonized energy system.
In today''s economy, hydrogen''s role is largely limited to that of a chemical feedstock, primarily used for oil refining and fertilizer production. The potential for hydrogen, however, is vastly more expansive: a flexible fuel capable of shapeshifting to meet the energy needs of a wide range of energy end uses, including those that the long

The main goal of the hydrogen energy transition, the carbon-neutral hydrogen society, is based on green hydrogen, i.e. hydrogen production via water
Global Energy Transition 2024 - Amidst complex geopolitical tensions, volatile supply chains and the urgent need for evermore rapid cuts in global emissions, the energy transition has reached a critical inflection point. Within an era defined by uncertainty, where the gap between expectation and reality is widening, global industry must rise to imagine
Hydrogen Patents for a Clean Energy Future. A successful transition to a clean energy future will be supported by rapid changes in the global economy and in people''s patterns of energy consumption, all of which have the potential to sustain healthier societies, more equitable outcomes and a more resilient planet.
The figure below shows the forecast of the global range of levelized cost of hydrogen production for large projects through 2050. According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance, if these costs continue to fall, green hydrogen could be produced for $0.70 – $1.60 per kg in most parts of the world by 2050, a price competitive with natural gas.
