Hydrogen is a versatile energy source that has a key role to play in the energy transition process and therefore in climate protection. After all, it is one of the most efficient ways of storing and transporting renewable energies. One technology on its own will not be enough to enable climate-neutral mobility worldwide.

Addressing climate change requires not only a clean electrical grid, but also a clean fuel to reduce emissions from industrial heat, long-haul heavy transportation, and long-duration energy storage. An H 2 economy already exists, but it involves lots of greenhouse gas emissions. Almost all of it is based on H 2 from methane.
