Hydrogen and renewable gas are highly versatile fuels that can be used in all sectors of the economy. The potential of hydrogen and hydrogen derived fuels, to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon energy system is widely recognized by industry and policymakers. This workshop will discuss recent global developments, and identify signposts that will provide early indications of the role that hydrogen will play in the future energy mix, as well as providing an overview of the fundamentals of hydrogen production, supply, and use as an energy carrier.
Hydrogen could play a major role in the transition to a low-carbon economy, but only if costs are significantly reduced. While the cost of hydrogen from electrolysis has continued to fall, there is also potential for major reductions along the value chain. How can this potential be turned into reality and how quickly?
