Green Hydrogen Factsheets
Prioritising green hydrogen in hard-to-electrify transport sectors
“There’s a risk that if this supply of green hydrogen is targeted towards sectors that have other routes to decarbonisation, there will not be a secure supply of green hydrogen available for those sectors with no alternative to decarbonise.”
Prioritising green hydrogen factsheet
Hydrogen is often presented as a ‘silver bullet’ for decarbonisation to be used for heating homes, road transport, producing chemicals and powering planes and ships. But only green hydrogen is truly sustainable – and production is expensive and energy inefficient compared to alternatives like direct electrification. So where should it be prioritised?
This factsheet provides all the background information you need to understand what green hydrogen is and how it should be prioritised, as well as what we policies we need to make green hydrogen drive decarbonisation.
