Hydrogen: The Key to
a Sustainable Future

Hydrogen plays a key role as an energy source in achieving a sustainable future. Hydrogen, which can be produced through various methods, complements renewable energy sources by providing stable storage and transportation solutions, reducing reliance on fossil fuels, and decreasing carbon emissions. It is paving the way for a sustainable world by being applied across various sectors, including mobility, trams,
marine / air mobility, stationary power, and industrial applications while also enhancing energy security.

Clean

  • By transitioning from fossil fuels to hydrogen energy, we can significantly reduce our reliance on oil and coal, thereby lowering carbon emissions and helping to combat climate change.
  • When hydrogen passes through a hydrogen fuel cell system, it reacts with oxygen to generate electricity, emitting only water vapor as a byproduct.

Versatile

  • Hydrogen serves as an effective storage solution, especially for storing excess electricity generated from renewable energy sources like solar and wind power. It allows for long-term energy storage and can be reconverted into electricity when needed, addressing the intermittency of renewable energy.
  • Hydrogen can be utilized as a power source across various applications, from mobility solutions like hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles and trams to industrial processes, marine vessels, and even air mobility, providing clean alternatives to fossil fuels.

Accessible

  • Hydrogen can be obtained not only from water electrolysis but also from sludge, organic waste, and even waste plastics.
  • The advancement in hydrogen production technologies allows it to be produced efficiently in a variety of locations, from urban to rural areas, making it widely accessible.

Fair

  • Hydrogen can allow countries to reduce reliance on imported energy and foster greater energy independence.
  • Hydrogen reduces dependency on geopolitically unstable fossil fuel sources, contributing to energy security.

Safe

  • Hydrogen is the lightest element in the universe and rapidly disperses in the atmosphere. Its low density allows it to spread quickly in the event of a leak, minimizing potential hazards.
