When it comes to addressing global warming, clean hydrogen is being forecasted to play a critical role in electricity generation, industrial processes, transportation, and buildings. Clean hydrogen makes sense in certain applications like ammonia production, but not in others like passenger vehicle fuel.
This paper explains the facts about hydrogen, examines the major sources of greenhouse gas emissions, and assesses hydrogen’s potential to reduce those emissions. Finally, the paper summarizes the sectors in which hydrogen makes sense, does not make sense, and which are debatable.
