Many countries have met their climate goals and are on track to be completely carbon neutral. Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. Hydrogen is thus greasing the wheels of the global transition to cleaner energy.
