By 2030, hydrogen could play an important role in decarbonizing polluting, energy-intensive industries such as chemicals, oil refineries, power and heavy transport such as shipping, heavy-duty trucks and trains, by helping these sectors move away from fossil fuels. Doing so could deliver a 7% emissions reduction on natural gas.
