Fuels for the Future

Hydrogen

Green hydrogen is considered by many to be the key to a clean energy transition. It offers a carbon-free alternative to fossil fuels and enables deep decarbonisation across sectors, including transportation, industry, and power generation.

Governments, industries and global organisations are increasingly investing in green hydrogen as part of their efforts to transition towards a low-carbon economy. This will ensure energy security, while supporting Net Zero sustainability goals.

Green hydrogen in transport

Green hydrogen offers the potential to transform the transport industry by providing a clean, renewable fuel alternative. It can decarbonise sectors like long-haul trucking, aviation and shipping, where electrification is challenging. This will help to significantly reduce global CO2 emissions and support global sustainability goals.

Green hydrogen in power generation

Green hydrogen will play a critical role in power storage and grid balancing as we head towards 2050, offering a solution to one of the major challenges of incumbent renewable energy technologies: intermittency. Hydrogen can be generated during periods of excess electricity generation, stored and converted back into electricity during times of low generation - ensuring grid stability.
