Hydrogen Ecosystem
Hydrogen can be used for many applications. If hydrogen is used in for example steel production, it can also be used in other sectors such as transportation. However, to build these hydrogen ecosystems require considerable investments and support from national governments is essential.
Green hydrogen can be used for the decarbonisation of many sectors of the energy system such as industrial, agriculture, transport, building and transport as well as within the heating system. Hydrogen can be stored to be used when needed:
Lowering CO2 emission with green hydrogen production
Sun, wind or water can produce hydrogen through a process called electrolysis. In the process water is splitted with the help of electricity into oxygen and hydrogen.
The hydrogen can be used directly or stored and used when needed, completely free from harmful emissions. Hydrogen can be stored in fuel cells and used in a flexible way across different sectors such as industry, transport, power and building. The extended use of hydrogen is an important step towards a climate-neutral Europe, an objective that the EU set to reach 2050.
