IEA: time to tap into hydrogen’s potential to play a key role in a clean, secure and affordable energy future

Green Car Congress

JUNE 15, 2019

A wide variety of fuels are able to produce hydrogen, including renewables, nuclear, natural gas, coal and oil. Today, hydrogen is already being used on an industrial scale, but it is almost entirely supplied from natural gas and coal. That’s the equivalent of the annual carbon emissions of the United Kingdom and Indonesia combined.

Even if the current Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) are fully implemented, the carbon budget for limiting global warming to below 2 ˚C will be about 80% depleted by 2030. Given currently available carbon budget estimates, the available global carbon budget for 1.5 ˚C C will already be well depleted by 2030.
