Hydrogen: The Key to
a Sustainable Future

Hydrogen plays a key role as an energy source in building 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 and 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 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 from renewable sources like solar and wind power. It enables 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 hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles and trams to marine vessels, air mobility, and heavy equipment, 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.
  • Advancements in hydrogen production technologies can efficiently generate hydrogen efficiently across diverse locations, from cities to rural areas, making it widely accessible.

Fair

  • Hydrogen helps countries achieve energy independence by reducing reliance on imported energy.
  • Hydrogen decreases dependence on geopolitically unstable fossil fuels, enhancing energy security.

Safe

  • Hydrogen is the lightest element in the universe and disperses rapidly in the atmosphere. Its low density enables it to dissipate quickly in the event of a leak, reducing safety risks.
