In the future, hydrogen will be a fundamental building block for the transformation towards a climate-neutral economy. Its various production methods and possibilities for use will render it essential. For the conversion of the energy system, hydrogen offers the possibility of storing the volatilely produced renewable energies, and it will also play a key role in raw material use for the decarbonization/defossilization of the industry.
In the medium and long term, the development towards green hydrogen, with the electricity required for its electricity-based production coming exclusively from renewable energies, must therefore be adopted to comply with the reduction of greenhouse gases. As such, the task at hand is to work simultaneously and in an open-ended manner at different points in a new value chain. This is both exciting and challenging at the same time, especially since there is currently no market for green hydrogen.
