IPFA UK: London: Hydrogen - The Growing Potential in a Net Zero World
Hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe, has long been viewed as a potential clean energy source and a gamechanger for achieving a low carbon future. Nevertheless, to date the only viable production methods (steam cracking, electrolysis) has been expensive and have not addressed the carbon impact. Today, a number of companies are exploring the potential to produce hydrogen with wind energy or CCUS to mitigate GHG emissions. To date the projects have been small, but could the technology be scaled to provide a sustainable, low carbon fuel source with applications in a variety of sectors.
