What is Green Hydrogen?

As global warming mitigation and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions reduction become increasingly urgent to counter climate change, many nations have announced net-zero emission targets as a commitment to rapidly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Low carbon hydrogen has received renewed attention under these decarbonization frameworks as a potential low-carbon fuel and feedstock, especially for hard-to-abate sectors such as heavy-duty transportation (trucks, shipping) and heavy industries (e.g., steel, chemicals).

Green hydrogen in particular, defined as hydrogen produced from water electrolysis with zero-carbon electricity, could have significant potential in helping countries transition their economies to meet climate goals. Today, green hydrogen production faces enormous challenges, including its cost and economics, infrastructure limitations, and potential increases in CO2 emissions (e.g., if produced with uncontrolled fossil power generation, which would be hydrogen but would not be green).

National governments worldwide, regional institutions and private sector businesses are concerned about climate change, international trade and markets with sustainable jobs and industries. In the context of a global pandemic and its social and economic implications, Europe has elaborated on a major green recovery plan to ensure the recovery is sustainable and inclusive. “The Next Generation EU” is the new recovery instrument, which aims at creating new jobs and mainstreaming climate actions.

The European Green Deal represents the core element of the recovery package, to ensure Europe will reach climate neutrality being the first climate neutral continent by 2050. Green hydrogen is also called “the missing link for the energy transition due to its ability to decarbonize and couple different sectors where carbon dioxide (CO2) cannot be abated or electrification is not possible. Furthermore, the development of a green hydrogen economy can also help to integrate more renewable energy (RE) in the energy system, provide seasonal storage and contribute to green growth and local job creation.
