The Key to a Decarbonized Future
Hydrogen has unique properties
Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe and holds the potential to revolutionize the global energy sector. As a zero-emission fuel, it can play a critical role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and decarbonizing industries that are difficult to electrify.
Why Isn’t Hydrogen a Reality Yet?
Despite its immense potential, clean hydrogen adoption remains limited nowadays, given that current production methods face several challenges and are not a cost-viable solution for large-scale production.
Conventional Methods rely on Fossil Fuels
Today, 95% of hydrogen is still produced from fossil fuels (via Steam Methane Reforming - SMR), a process that emits significant amounts of CO₂. Even with carbon capture (Blue Hydrogen), the method remains costly and reliant on fossil resources.
Electrolysis: Green, but Highly Inefficient and Costly
While electrolysis is a low-carbon method for producing hydrogen (if powered by renewable sources), it suffers from intrinsically high electricity consumption, making hydrogen production expensive and impractical at scale.
Renewable Energy Limitations
Electrolysis requires vast amounts of renewable electricity. Scaling up production to meet global hydrogen demand would require a massive and costly expansion of renewable energy infrastructure.
