Hydrogen Economy
About Hydrogen
Hydrogen is a gas that is naturally occurring or that can be produced from natural gas or electricity. Depending on its production pathway, hydrogen can deliver GHG emissions saving across various end uses.
The Hydrogen Economy
Hydrogen is a gas that is naturally occurring or that can be produced from natural gas or electricity. Depending on its production pathway, hydrogen can deliver GHG emissions saving across various end uses. Once produced, hydrogen can be stored, transported, and used as a versatile energy carrier. It can also be used directly in fuel cells to generate electricity with only water and heat as by-products, or it can be converted back into electricity in combustion engines or turbines.
The gas industry plays a pivotal role in shaping the hydrogen economy, leveraging its expertise in production, distribution, and utilisation of gaseous energy.
By harnessing synergies between natural gas and hydrogen, the industry can facilitate the transition towards a low-carbon future. Collaboration between companies, technology providers, and policymakers is crucial for accelerating the development and deployment of hydrogen solutions. In line with scaling up hydrogen infrastructure, Eurogas advocates for binding targets for the scaleup of hydrogen production in order to achieve a hydrogen economy.
