Hydrogen
Accelerate the transition to a low carbon economy by implementing hydrogen technologies.
Why is hydrogen important for the transition to low carbon?
Hydrogen is a chemical element that can be burned or used in chemical reactions to provide energy without releasing harmful emissions. A hydrogen economy provides an opportunity to eliminate the problems associated with fossil fuel economies. Hydrogen is light, storable and energy dense and produces no direct emissions of pollutants or greenhouse gases.
Currently, there is a need for the use of hydrogen to be expanded in sectors where it is almost completely absent, such as transport, buildings and power generation. Most of the G20 countries have developed strategies, which include funding, to accelerate hydrogen development. The reduction in cost, along with a scaling up of technologies, will allow enable hydrogen to play an important role in creating a clean, secure and affordable energy future.
