Hydrogen can play a vital role in the green energy transition. Is it the fuel of the future? A thread 👇
🌱 Hydrogen technologies could eliminate perhaps a tenth of today’s greenhouse-gas emissions by 2050 econ.st/3aWnMI4
🏭 Using green hydrogen in a fuel cell releases only electricity and water, making it a low-carbon solution that could ultimately substitute dirty fuels in industrial processes
🔋 Think of the gas as an energy carrier, like electricity, and as a means of storage, like a battery ⚡️ It could also be the answer to one of the biggest problems with renewable energy—how to store it econ.st/3aWnMI4
🌎 Countries are already leaping at this opportunity. Australia, Chile and Morocco hope to ship renewable energy to the world by storing it in hydrogen econ.st/3aWnMI4
